I'm fully convinced that AI will destroy our ability to process financial transactions through the internet. The digital economy is toast. We will be back to paying cash in person for everything.
i think that may be an improvement.
I did hate carrying change though. I'm never happy
Don't worry, inflation is making it so a single dollar will be practically useless soon. Literally nobody will give a fuck about coins. A homeless person would spit in your face if you gave him 50 cents, because it'd be that insulting. Coins will have a melt value significantly higher than their face value.
The problem is, we’ll be running to the bank every 5 minutes because it’s gotten fucking expense out there due to credit card swipes.
That would be a godsend. We can only hope.
Impossible. The elite want to know where every penny you spend goes, and it's too hard with cash
You're more likely to see credit cards only allowed through Google Pay or Apple Pay than going back to cash
They'll claim it's having to support so many third party's in the chain causing the problem, so we need 2 "trusted" entities
Parasite class please. “Elite” they are not. Words matter
I don't think that's what the elites intend. I think their arrogance will lead them to think they can control something they don't understand and that will bite us all in the ass
Please don’t call them “elite”. They are the Parasite class. Words matter
Hell yeah. Bring it on
