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

        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.

          1. I completely disagree that if a majority of businesses went cashless that would mean the government has no choice but to be cashless.
          2. I never said it “could NEVER happen.”
          3. What do you mean it “DID happen,” it hasn’t.
          4. Ad hominem gets you nowhere.
