What a CASHLESS society REALLY means
(links.hackliberty.org)
Privacy is the ability for an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.
Spain, Belgium, and France have banned cash transactions above a threshhold (e.g. €3k) at least 5 years ago already. Cannot pay tax using cash in Belgium. Think about that for a minute.
New recent law in Belgium: all businesses (incl. self-employed workers and even landlords renting out property) MUST accept electronic payment. Try doing that without using a bank.
