This is the problem with industrialized countries they are the one who are mandating that we need to preserve and conserve natural resources for the benefit of the next generations to come. However, they are not worrying when they use too much electricity or power with the ambitious move to make a cashless society. How will they do it without using the natural resources to power up their digital equipment? And then there is no absolute cashless society because anywhere you go you will going to need physical money for a medium of exchange especially in times if there are natural calamities like earthquake, floods, storm and etc. where power could be affected by these events. So they are just really ambitious and damaging our mother nature sir/maam.
i am sooo at lost at this topic, what has nature got to do with nature, but i like your point about calamities and exchanges, this surely shows us that cashless society will not gonna happen, not unless they developed a physical medium to replace paper money that i think illogical. the point is, cryptocurrencies are digital, without electricity during calamities, all those crypto assets will be deemed worthless.
