Romeo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Needs it's own thread imo On the PTTGOYN thread there is currently a bit of a debate about the merits or otherwise of cashless payments through your phone or contactless bank card. I am all for doing away with cash completely mainly to stop women and other idiots scrambling through a purse counting out coppers.

throbber Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I hardly ever take out cash, why would I need to make a pointless transaction when I can just pay by card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy a big issue so it doesn't matter. The only time it's worthwhile withdrawing money for me is when going to football so I can budget for beers and pie / bovril.

That isn't the debate. It's about whether a whole economy should regard money simply as an electronic register overseen by banks, clearing houses and government rather than having some physical representation.

It's what David icke has been saying all along, we're heading for a microchipped population (if we aren't already there) where there is a world centralised bank with cashless currency. Eventually you will pay for things by fingerprint/eye scans and there will be nothing poor people can do about this and they will all die out leaving the worlds population at around 500 million.

The debate on the other thread is absolutely not, "about the merits or otherwise of cashless payments through your phone or contactless bank card." That ship has sailed, mostly for good. It's about the option to have a physical representation of cash being withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Was at a wedding yesterday and didn't take much cash, assumed the venue (a 4* hotel) would take card so would just pay with that for drinks which would no doubt be a fortune anyway.Imagine my astonishment and disgust when I went to order the 1st round and got told "we don't take cards" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
