There’s already businesses that are cashless and unless people talk about it the trend might well continue to the point it has enough of a foothold that we might not be able to stop it.
Spain, Belgium, and France have banned cash transactions above a threshhold (e.g. €3k) at least 5 years ago already. Cannot pay tax using cash in Belgium. Think about that for a minute.
New recent law in Belgium: all businesses (incl. self-employed workers and even landlords renting out property) MUST accept electronic payment. Try doing that without using a bank.
sigh
If a simple majority of businesses decided to go 100% cashless, the government would have no choice but to embrace it.
Again: too many of you sit there in your chairs and say “oh well that could NEVER happen” then when it does you’re shocked, shocked I tell you, that it DID happen.
I get pretty fucking tired of explaining things over and over again to people who apparently are just plain too dense to grasp what I’m saying and be rational about it.

There is a massive difference between a business being cashless and a government enforced “cashless society” like this post describes.
