[It is the forerunner to the Mark. —— Well that’s kinda Biblical...]
Yep - The world is not there yet - I daresay most of us expect cash to disappear. (people like you guys and myself)
“I daresay most of us expect cash to disappear.”
Many years ago we saw this coming when banks aggressively pushed the use of ATM’s instead of going into a bank to interact with a human to get or deposit money.
Of course it allowed banks to use fewer employees and thus save overhead costs.
Many people saw that as the main reason but that was just a side effect of the cards that did not require cash to be used.
Cards for purchases, and the chips, of course are an excellent way to keep watch over us as the gov has access to all spots we use cards.
It’s all about control...
