To be fair, apart from the privacy aspects, they've chosen some of the worst arguments against a full cashless society. Seriously, piggy banks and birthday cards?

Normal life. As much as people want to deny it, it’s actually really important.

I think it's easier for us, as adults, to dismiss those things, but they bring kids joy and an opportunity to learn about the value of money and saving.

God how we would suffer without piggy banks or garage sales.

I though this whole post was sarcasm until I saw people's comments taking it seriously. Thanks for bringing sanity to this thread.

Also have any of you heard of instant transfers or crypto currency? So cringe.
