Sweden is a mostly cashless society. Let me try to respond to those points
-
In case of domestic violence, you go to the police.
-
You can still give individual people money with things like Swish. Yes, even "homeless" people have swish and they use it. Kids of all ages can have swish.
-
It costs 0(for individuals) or 10-30 cents(for companies) to transact on swish and minimum transaction is basically 10cents(1sek).
There are privacy issues and it is kinda controlled by banks. Maybe eventually things like digital euro can improve on that in the future. You can have an anonymous digital payment system with near 0 fees, it is just that the governments arent incentivized to do it. Thats where cryptocurrency could fit, if it wasnt a pump and dump, to the moon hellhole.

We need cash but these are just silly reasons and hurt the idea more than they help
I love how in a PRIVACY Lemmy community there are people who actually, unironically argue for a dystopian cashless society.
We're all fucked, aren't we?
