It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.

Smells like Poland, I've seen a lot of "STOP NWO" "PŁAĆ GOTÓWKĄ" grafitti all over the place. Probably drawn by a singular guy seeing how similar they've looked and had the same color.

Unfortunately, too bad I actually like using cash not just for privacy but for covenience reasons. I also like advocating for the use of cash and keeping it instead of abandoning it.

I also don't like being extremely over reliant on technology so the WeChat ecosystem of China annoys me.

And then there's people like that 😒
