those little pieces of paper are backed by the United States government which is in turn backed by the United States military which can at any time go into any country and take anything it wants.

Do you believe those pieces of paper have no value? I'd bet a bunch of those pieces of paper you wouldn't go destroy all of your paper that is apparently valueless.

advantages ? .... lol
brb you see how you are being censored on ******** and twitter for saying something controversial ... yes?
now transpose this in real life
what do you think will happen if your neighbours says that you are for example not for the government rationing meat(because yes they will try this in the years to come) , that your racist etc.. aka a dissident of the regime

they will turn off your account and you will left starving off in the street with no roof and then sent to a reeducation camp.

if society becomes cash less the world is over. no more freedom you officially enter the matrix

you have to die fighting to prevent all this

Your original post in this thread contained the answer to that.
We aren't in a cashless society. In a society that relies on cash, it has value

An all digital society would benefit the masses much more then a hybrid one would. It will also have to eventually be an ALL digital society to reap the true benefits of it (minimize money laundering, counterfeiting, illegal transactions, tax fraud, etc). A hybrid system allows for everything I just mentioned to continue much more easily.

You can either accept it or be the crazy guy on the street with no money and holding onto the past.
spoken like a true freedom hating zombie-cell. but but but if we give corporations and govt more power and give up our freedom completely there will be less crime. LMAO muh "progress"

Cash can buy me food, water, shelter, etc. It is just an inefficient way to do it and could be replaced by an all digital system which then would render cash valueless...but we aren't in that society yet.

The future is bright. fiat currency was the proper progression from the gold standard, digital is just moving more in the right direction. Those who disagree or wish to be back on the gold standard are just braindead.

A cashless society is very, VERY scary. However, with the COVID "plandemic", we are unfortunately hurtling towards such a GLOBAL society-and fast!

EMP attack means no more debt, no one will come knocking for your mortgage payment, etc.

That's why you should be self sufficient. Grow your own food, have ammo and guns, have physical assets, and have a generator(s)/solar energy.

An EMP attack would just neutralize the world in a way. People always think about losing all their money, but you also won't have to pay any money. It goes both ways.

The government would save a lot of money from not having to print it, and tradies andn bartenders would actually have to claim all their taxes!
