    I’ve got this papery stuff, and circley metal discs that works in most places. Unfortunately it does have pictures glorifying some family of depraved paedos on it , but not easy to avoid that.

      Carrying an actual wallet all the time is pretty inconvenient, but honestly, I’ve been considering getting back into cash for 2 reasons: 1) If more people use cash, it’s harder to legislate it away altogether and 2) so small-time vendors don’t have to pay taxes. I don’t mean the local grocery store (the big chains get audited anyway), I mean the person with a stall selling homemade smoked sausages in front of a store, or the guy by the road who sells smoked fish from the nearby lake.

      Also euro banknotes don’t have people on it to avoid the whole paedo glorification thing, so that’s cool

      If you live in a country with 19th century banking where people still pay each other by IOU on little pieces of paper, then sure. In modern countries a lot of places only take electronic payments.

        In my country there are both places that only accept electronic payments and places that only accept paper IOUs. Go figure.

        I don’t go to those places, don’t need their stuff.

        Don’t need much stuff really.

        Glad to live in 3rd world shithole.
