CASH AND DIGITAL PAYMENTS MUST NOT BE EXCLUDING EACH OTHER, BUT MUST CO-LIVE TO AVOID THE CONCENTRATION OF POWER TOWARDS BANKING AND INSTITUTIONAL OLIGOPOLIES
“a cashless society would sound the death knell for small businesses, and wipe out any remaining privacy we have, paving the way for a fully-fledged surveillance system”

I think billionaires have extreme influence over me regardless of what type of money I use.
When I say that people will call me a conspiracy theorist, but when Canada froze the bank accounts of protestors no one spoke Bank interest isn’t keeping up with inflation anyways
Also, please don’t post with huge font…
@sexy_peach That’s better?
did you make it even bigger?
@sexy_peach Actually I reduced from H2 to H4 and the result is now here
Or you could just use the regular size? Screaming on the internet is even more useless than IRL.
I also don’t like a cashless society. But if there were a good implementation of digital currency, like gnu taler, that would pretty much take the way cash works now into the digital realm.
It’s possible, but not likely to be suggested by the big monopolists and surveillance people.
<3 gnu taler. Really hope it succeeds.
@privacypost @zughy The people will always find a way.
