I don't understand why we can't have multiple forms of payment. I'll keep cash and cards so I have options
Same here. In a more general way, I don't understand why people can't simply let things coexist in peace. Just because one doesn't like or use something, doesn't mean that others shouldn't. I'm getting tired of that behavior in our society, to be honest.
Need to send a friend some money? How about you download this proprietary app made by some random company who takes a cut out of the middle. Cash is so outdated we need to use phones for no reason
People are shilling something they don't understand and the regime is taking advantage of their poor education and impulses.
Adults need to adult. Use cash and educate people around you about risks of cashless.
Prolly a futile fight but what are we gonna do, give up? Fuck that
Doing my part.
I agree. If every of us would do their homework right.
Doing my part.
