It will be wonderful when the government can track every transaction down to a single piece of bazooka bubble gum. Panhandlers are going to have to invest in a wifi credit card machine

China has been doing this for a long time with AliPay/WeChat Pay - even when I was there last in 2019 a lot of employees looked at you like you had two heads if you tried to pay them in cash. Foreigners, of course, are not allowed to use these payment systems.

The CCP can already track every yuan a Chinese citizen spends - and the Davos crowd is green with envy.

Banks love it, because they get to scrape 3% of the income you busted your butt for.

for as long as I can, I pay everything by credit card and then I pay the credit card bill every two weeks. It’s like free money.

I will not be so willing to carry a digital wallet.

Yes, that’s it. They don’t want Apple and Google collecting the 3%, they want to collect the 3% themselves. If people are going to use these apps, they want in on it.

I can do all the things on the left with my card on the right. No reason to stick an insecure data vacuuming cell phone in between.

[Recall the pivot toward a cashless society was clear as day. Perhaps the coin shortage during the pandemic was a test run. And anyone who dared mention a looming cashless society was deemed a 'conspiracy theorist.']

a 'conspiracy theorist.' - Guilty as charged!!

This will ONLY happen in the middle of the 7 years of 'Peace and Security' - this 7 year deal has not yet been confirmed by the man who will be Satan's anti-messiah - but it's clearly coming. Keep praying folks! (lurkers, see my FR homepage for more information)

Nope, people will just be buying very expensive artisan sandwiches, wood carvings, ceramic figurines or whatever with a stamp bag of their favorite drug included free as a ‘promotional item.’

and every time you ask your friend to pick up a.... at the store. And you “pay them back” electronically..

make sure you add 3% for processing fees and 35% so they are whole as what you sent is “income” subject to tax..

Possible but an electronic paper trail will be created and it will up to you to prove otherwise.
