Well the article is not fiction and the year sounds about right. The Nordic countries has been fast and continuously in adopting non-cash payments methods. I live in Denmark, and I don’t really use cash anymore, for anything.  I can go month without using, or even seeing paper. In fact getting rite of large amount of cash is becoming increasing hard. Bank simply does not take it anymore.
I use credit card, wireless credit cards and mobilpay. It is available anywhere, nationwide.

We have a “Denmark credit card”, called DANKORT. It was introduced in 1983. It has been fee-less for nearly all its life. About 10-12 years ago they tried to introduce fee on every transaction (the card has more than a billion a year), which resulted in a nationwide outcry. Transactions count fell 25% within days. The card is so integrated in Danish society that the cash supply was simply not there anymore to cope with the sudden change in payment method. The user revolted against the fee, retail complained loss of business and not enough cash and the government revokes the fee after only 6 days. The banks and retail split the bill instead. Knowing them well enough, the probably just pass it on to the user in another less in-the-face way. Roll Eyes

Total removal of fiat from the society will do more harm than good.
No matter the level of technological development, not everyone will be able to embrace cashless transactions. And also, most services need to be paid in cash.

That is very true, also I dont think fiat will be gone complete, people have always trusted and will always trust something they can hold on and something that is physical, that is why gold has always remained valuable, if something replaces fiat it will certainly not mean bitcoin since the government doesnt want people outside the government to be rich, they will use their own little dirty system, so speaking of that let fiat just stay and let it live with bitcoin as a digital payment, it will do all good.
in addition to that, the use and exchange of something physical in doing transactions has been around since god knows when. It would be really hard to remove the aspect of physical trade to the human consciousness.

Sweden is contemplating to stop using cash by 2023, does this mean cash might be extinct if other countries follow suit?

In the near future if the world become fully digitalize maybe thats the time that the cash will extinct, the time that all people will no longer use a physical wallet only a single electronic chip planted on everyones body that carried all the information of that person. that is the time that cash will vanish.

That is exactly what it is saying, if the cashless society is employed i guess there will be no money hovering around because it will cease to be a medium of physical exchange but digital with regards to sweden and maybe others will follow afterwards.

Fiat are used all around the world mostly by everyone because they are easy and convenient to use for daily basis so removing all fiat would be next to impossible thing at least for decades or even more.Fiats are also unique to their nationality and its also shows their nations strength in economy by its value.Removing all fiat would benefit bitcoins as people would shift towards digital money and transactions as bitcoins is both a currency and a great investment people would buy more bitcoins.Well Sweden is well developed so I think that they can do it, but removing of fiat globally is not possible as would be some nations who aren't developed enough or would oppose this idea.

They will definitely extinct cash but this is strange news to me though because a friend reside there and I knew through him how they like using app in transfering money so I see this thread I'm like no wonder. However, this is going to help bitcoin a lot.
It cant actually help bitcoin since they would create their own token which means they would make use on centralized stuff rather than on using decentralized one.This will really make borders on full adoption of bitcoin. If government would decide to switch on this kind of financial state then for sure it would really takes time to make such adjustments.

Judging too soon on anything is not good. contemplating of cash is done by only Sweden that does not mean that other countries will do the same. but if they do then of course cash will become extinct as there will be no one who will be willing to use it. also Sweden is doing so by 2023 , maybe that would never happen due to some reasons cause many decisions change with time and circumstances.

more and more countries are declining towards digitisation ,which is good but cash is not going to extinct ,cash payments run great part of economy and will be doing that for many years to come.extinction of cash will effect small vendors to great extent and making it extinct can lead to collapse of economy too.

I don't think so. Sweden is a very developed country. If the residents of the South American tribes have mastered the local electronic payment system and used as a purse mobile phones and that is why the people of Sweden do not. I believe that it will. Each of us has a Bank card and never had any problems with their use.

Well I don't believe cash will be extinct from existence totally because there are a lot of things that need to be put in place before such a things could happen. Even in Sweden as you rightly said cash will not be extinct completely because when you talk of the underdeveloped or developing nations, it is a different ball game because there are some part of those countries that does not even have a bank let alone operating cashless economy.

I do not think cash will be ever extinct although if it will not be able to combat the threats that Bitcoins pose upon it, there are possibilities that the former's value will depreciate greatly. If people around the globe will learn about Bitcoin's value and efficiency as contrasted to that of (regular or accustomed) cash, there is no doubt that the demand for Bitcoins will escalate thereby further increasing their monetary value provided their supply remains low.

Although, having a cashless society is good and is a sigh of development ib a nation,  eliminating paper currency in a nation will cause more harm than good to the nation's economy.
Many will be faced with the problem of not having internet connection in their locality and more will be faced with the problem of illiteracy. Besides,  most services are to be paid in cash especially in developing countries.
These are the reasons why cash can't go into extinction.

Imagine a City without electricity or maybe something happened to the grid like a disaster and electricity will be offline for 12 hours. While it sounds like a good idea because its good for the environment but going paperless or cashless needs 24/7 access to electricity without it, going cashless is not possible.
Yes you are right the value of the bitcoin is increasing and the use of the bitcoin is getting very expensive the worth of the bitcoin is getting high now and the price is getting high, the value of the bitcoin is increasing the use of the bitcoin, now it is very easy to buy the bitcoin and you can hold the bitcoin for the long time so you will be able to cash your bitcoin at the time of need.

I think cash is impossible to be extinct because not all people know digital currency so they will not be able to cope up with that. Maybe some people in some countries like Sweden can do that but not all. But lets be open for all the possibilities. Also, no one knows what will happen in the future so lets wait and see.

Yes if full adaptation of cryptos will be done by all countries it would be possible for cash to be soon extinct but for this to happen it will take so many years to get implemented because there are a lot of issues in digutal currency like the supply issue and the stability of a particular currency...but seeing the growth of crypto currencies chances that it will take the place of normal fiat can happen soon.

It would take the world quite a long time to follow suite, not to mention the developing countries who don't have the technology or infrastructure to install digital/electronic payment terminals across the country.
So, as good as going paperless sounds, I don't think we'll be seeing this go global. It'd definitely be interesting to see how Sweden's stance on BTC would be influenced though as a result of this.
It wont really go globally and as been speak not all countries are capable on such adjustments for sure on turning to digital came from physical money thinking off that not all countries can able to do such thing easily because they dont really have the resources and also people wont really be easily convinced on such adjustments.Local fiat would really still be at its best on this kind of situation.Even though digital trend would be there but i would bet that people would always prefer to use local fiat cash since we are already using it for how many generations even digitalized currencies would be there but yet people will surely seek for physical fiat for sure.

I agree with your idea mate. We can't afford to buy things lower than the transaction fee. As we all know fees are getting higher as price skyrocketed and how much more in the future? Are we going to buy candies with Bitcoins high fee? For me Bitcoin is only best for  investments. I think buying goods with Bitcoins has issues with fees more or less four to five dollars per transactions really sucks. People using fiat all the tine are more affected in a cashless society and I don't know how they would adopt most especially less fortunate people with no idea on this blockchain technology. It is hard for these people to embrace such ideas and that is the fact about cashless society. I am one of those less fortunate people but I am lucky enough  because I have now the ideas regarding blockchain technologies and I am happy with that. Grin

I think fiat money or cash will not be extinct since not all people as well as some countries in the world can cope up or follow this kind of change that will happen. For the poor as well as for the people who dont have any idea about bitcoin, they still need to have cash in order to survive. Maybe some of the countries can follow that kind of rule but not all.
