[As in CBDC, or nothing.]
That's why I am guessing that all governments will make "cash" illegal - the masses will be forced to accept digital currency - or have nothing available by which they can buy or sell
And they're being conditioned to pay with their hand(s). No, it's not the Mark of the Beast.

Pay with your hand - Forerunner to the coming Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13) Using one's hands to pay for food. A boxed "convenience store" (Hudson Nonstop, LAX airport, Dallas Love Field airport), to Arbor Trails Whole Foods (Austin, Texas), to paying for food at Panera Bread, to other Whole Foods stores (owned by Amazon).
Yes, I use Amazon for shopping from time-to-time but this "scan-your-hand-to-pay" is already alive and in operation - no doubt it will continue to expand / grow in acceptance. The conditioning (intentional or unintentional, it will make no difference) has started.
I'm sure the people in the pics think they're showing the latest "cool thing" - possibly mocking and laughing at any reference to the "Mark of the Beast" - this is just a sampling of the pictures I found.
By the time the actual Mark of the Beast, these kinds of payment systems will be fully-embedded in society I think.

The world is not there - YET. But the conditioning, intentional or unintentional - it will make no difference. Fast, easy, secure, convenient. IMHO, cash will be outlawed. Digital Currency 100% will be the future. /Captain Obvious
