Swedens Swish Payment system suffered a serious outage on Saturday, underlining the limits of a cash-free world That's not a bug. It's a feature.

They are going to force this on us as time goes by. Resist.

I was an advocate for Apple Pay and similar services when it came out, because it was far more secure than using a credit card.
My take is that if you are going to use a cashless system like a credit card, the more secure, the better.
However, I am dead set against the concept of a “cashless society”. Anyone who is for it, and there are a lot of them, have never taken the time to think it through.

"...That's not a bug. It's a feature..." I am sure there are the spouses of a lot of shop-a-holics who would agree!

Not really. It is a service, nothing more.

It won’t be force. It’ll just happen. Cash sucks for businesses. High in risk, time consuming, and filled with colds. Resistance is futile, the future will happen.

All working in preparation for the coming Antichrist and his one world government and world-wide "cashless", Mark of the Beast financial system.
All you'll need is his diabolical "mark" and your automatically "a member of his club" and can buy and sell anything: How "convenient" and "cool" they will make it all sound.
The one thing they won't tell you is that EVERYONE who "takes the mark" is automatically damned and ultimately destined for a Christless eternity in The Lake of Fire where they will dwell in unspeakable torment forever!

I understand the privacy concerns but when we went to Europe a few years ago (before credit cards were accepted virtually everywhere), we paid a ton of money to exchange from one currency to another.
The exchange payment to the credit card company would’ve been much less, though not zero.

Instead of pilfering from the till there is outright fees from the charge card companies.

The problem is a card can never be totally secure because it can be stolen. But “The Mark of the Beast” on the back of your hand or forehead can never be stolen... of course you lose your eternal soul but you can buy and sell stuff.

only a handful of countries
can afford to close-down their
cash-based informal economy
Sweden might be one of them.

And the added benefit for the STATE is if they dont like you, they can shut you down with the flip of a switch.
How convenient.

"And to stop violent robberies"...
When did that become a problem? Does it have to do with all the muzzies they imported into their country?
