He better be careful what he proposes, or maybe he is a "wolf in sheepskin" pretending to be your friend just like Satoshi.

The governments are slowly phasing out cash. EuropeSwitzerland eliminated the 1000 EU bill and ATM daily limits continue declining in all countries.

Government (and banksters) would love for a pseudonymous digitally tracked public ledger to replace the very anonymous physical cash.

While I have to agree with the statement that governments try to get rid of cash and push digital payments, I can assure you that I've never even heard of a 1,000 Euro bill existing (and I'm from the Euro zone and have had all other denominations in my hands multiple times already).  So you are wrong there (maybe you are thinking of Canada or Switzerland?).

Yes I think I am thinking of Switerzland. Thanks for the correction. Also I think France has placed some limits on the size of a cash transaction. My memory is a bit vague on the specifics just noted the trend.

Sorry. Wouldn't it be better if when someone pointed out such things they had a "solution" to point to. For that reason, I do feel somewhat shitty (about writing that).

Any way decentralization (or source code, efforts, coins, etc) is very powerful and there are a lot of smart people in our community. It should all work out (hopefully).
