>The simple answer is to reject the cashless society.

Oh How the tide have turned.

You may be surprised for half a decade from 2014 to ~2019 most on HN were "for" cashless society. Over the dozens of threads and thousands of comments. 90% of HN were happy when Tim Cook in 2015 declare Cash will be dead in the next decade. Apple Pay will make the society better. Tim Cook and Apple reiterate in 2016 and 2017 they want to kill off cash.

Something happened in post 2019. I dont what it is. But I guess it is better late than never.



And I wish instead of putting technology into cashless, we should be doing the old sci-fi stuff which is putting technology into cash itself. Better Anti-Counterfeit money features .
