We need cash but these are just silly reasons and hurt the idea more than they help

Debit is cash but

We can tap for yard sales and homeless people

People include gift cards in birthday cards or etransfer

You could do that for your child’s teeth

Oh no, what will i do without a ceramic pig

Last 4 points I’m sure you can figure out also aren’t true

And if you’re worried about being tracked then surely you don’t use a phone/go online/appear in public

I've been cashless for about a decade now. I have no problem with donating money, giving or recieving monay as a gift. I never give the homeless money, but I often buy them food. Why couldn't you buy or sell something to people? You can easily transfer someone a small sum of money using their phone number. Same with garage sales. When was the last time You saw a Piggy Bank?

Many unhoused people do not have a phone.

It's been at least a decade since I've seen a homeless person without a phone. Free government phones are easy to get. They all have them.
