Have you ever wondered how would the world's economy be like in the future as a cashless society?
Perhaps, with the increased traction of blockchain acceptance nowadays, could lead to the creation of digital fiat currencies powered by blockchains that are managed by governments themselves. With this in mind, there would be no need for physical cash, as digital fiat currencies would provide many advantages such as quick settlement, global payments, full transparency, implants use on citizens to make payments, and more.
If this becomes a reality, which I'm sure that it will, it would radically transform our lives for the better and reduce criminal activity as a result of the full transparency and auditability that a digital fiat currency would have thanks to the power of the blockchain technology.
Also, it makes me wonder if cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin would exist by that time, or will they co-exist with digital fiat currencies.
Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about this.
I feel that we are inevitably heading toward a cashless society, between credit card and debit card payments and now smart phone payments we are already pretty accepting of this concept. The big question is does blockchain based currencies have a central role to play in this, an my answer is that I think they do. We are getting there little by little, but if for no other reason than a novel technical solution I believe that crypto will be a dominant player in the future.
I feel like everything will be more compact even our cash. Thus, people likes to use cards. Plus, you just seems a richer when you are using card to pay for stuffs. People wants everything to be digital and accessible online. That's why banks integrated their service on the Internet and have online banking. Another thing, people like to keep stuffs on their phones. Banks already have those.
Those are the things that we also offer in cryptocurrency. You have your wallet on your phone. You have your wallet on the Internet. On the other hand, bitcoin can offer more things than that which the mainstream might want. First, anonymity. Who doesn't want to keep the details about themselves. Bitcoin is not exactly a fast and free transaction but it's better than Paypal when it comes to transaction fees, and it surely is a lot faster than when you are going to transfer amounts by physically going to the bank.
Most people are not aware that you can do this so they don't really use crypto coins. And so we have to inform them, although they can be discouraged by the scams and dramas going on in bitcoins.
