when we already have crypto currencies, master cards, paypal and other shit, why do we use cash?
because cash keeps its lips sealed when it needs to and talks when it needs to.

You tell me if you need transfer fees to transfer your cash from one person to another.

NO. Simply hand it to them.

Cash is still the simplest means to exchange money anonymously and securely without Big Brother watching.

Exactly. I recently lost my ATM card. Called the bank and we had to got through each and every recent transaction. She told me that I stopped at Starbucks first thing in the morning, where I had lunch, which grocery store I stopped at in the afternoon, where I then got gas, etc.

I wonder if the OP even gets my point.

Because in some (very pristine) parts of the world a smartphone still cannot receive a cell or wifi signal. I know of some people who would first forget to take their wallets with them before their smart phones. I think if you threw them out in the middle of a jungle to fend for themselves using survival skills they would die very quickly.

Because we can print a lot of "empty' dollars that aren't worth anything when ever we want and with crytpo currency you can't print money when  you want to!  Cheesy

We're still using cash because modern economy is a bitch and hard to overcome. Just like my ex-girlfriend.

cash really helps people launder money and black market..

I prefer a world where bad things can happen occasionally, to a world where everyone is watched by Big Brother all the time.

Because some people can't leave paper trails to avoid tax. Why do you think all those Asian restaurants are cash only places? Also if you're an illegal immigrant working, you're forced to transact in cash only.
Well i am an asian, and all the restaurents dont accept only cash. and can we please talk about something legal?

:-) because my phone can't go a day without requiring a recharge.
One linked card, scanable tattoo or linked accounts by bio-scan would be great.


You just gave me an awesome idea for a tattoo!  Grin

and glad to be of inspiration :-)
well i also wanna get a qr code tattoo on my palm. but i doubt that any qr code reader would be able to read it.

Go buy a hotdog on the street shop and pay him with paypal
LOL, now yes i got your point. bt why do we still use cash for larger transactions?

Describe "large"


I personally rarely use cash anymore. From food to gas to buying something else, I use my debit/CC's. In the very near future I hope to use my Bit/Lite cards Wink.
Well you must belong to some developed country. In my country we use a lot lot of cash, and the problem that arise is that fake currency also gets supplied to our country which results in loss to our economy.


I am so very sorry to hear that, I hope that crypto's give you and every other underdeveloped nation an opportunity to live to your full potential!

And yes, I live in America. But to note a lot of fake cash gets into our economy as well, its called printing money at the federal reserve  Cheesy.
