The cashless society has already begun in China. People's clothing and food and clothing can be realized through "alipay", "WeChat" mobile payment! Now go out as long as carry the smart phone with network can realize pay! Only BTC is banned in China. If BTC is legal in China, no cash society can be realized!

Have you ever wondered how would the world's economy be like in the future as a cashless society? Perhaps, with the increased traction of blockchain acceptance nowadays, could lead to the creation of digital fiat currencies powered by blockchains that are managed by governments themselves. With this in mind, there would be no need for physical cash, as digital fiat currencies would provide many advantages such as quick settlement, global payments, full transparency, implants use on citizens to make payments, and more. If this becomes a reality, which I'm sure that it will, it would radically transform our lives for the better and reduce criminal activity as a result of the full transparency and auditability that a digital fiat currency would have thanks to the power of the blockchain technology. Also, it makes me wonder if cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin would exist by that time, or will they co-exist with digital fiat currencies. Nevertheless, I would like to know your opinion about this. There are many benefits to removing cash from the economy, such as eliminating black markets and allowing more easy monetary policy.Imagine a future where everything is seamlessly paid for via your phone. It’s a beautiful vision—with some dangerous unintended consequences.

Maybe it will happen in the next 20 years i guess because we can't change paper money and switch on to digital currency in just a wink there a lot of processing to consider especially on poor countries who are not yet familiar with modern technologies and also we can't have transactions without internet.

A cashless society is a poor society how can you spend your hard earn money if the society is cashless? some society in far places like in mountainous part or a remote village they use trading goods such as fish,veges,animal meat in exchage of rice. but now a days we have to use cash in order to buy things and what we need for our daily consumption in order to be alive.

Cashless society is the concept of bitcoin actually. Not only bitcoin, all the altcoins (crypto currencies) concept is the same. There are advantages and disadvantages on all currencies like safety and usage, however, crypto also has the same like usage when internet is not there. The will be a option for this in future I believe and waiting for more options to come from crypto founders.

Well they are only taking advantage of the current technology we are having which is our mobile phones which pave way for the cryptocurrency to become a payment method but honestly speaking can we have a future of a cashless society? I mean look at our current situation Bitcoin the most popular cryptocurrency and the most expensive is not being accepted as a payment method as it has high transaction fees as well as slow confirmation speeds. Cryptocurrencies still need to improve overall if we are striving for a cashless society.

Cashless society is very possible (actually, it existed for thousands of years...), but it depend if it will be a centralized or decentralized one. A centralized one, as in the swedish experiment, will mean absolute control from government on any transaction. A decentralized, that there is no central authority that control you. One is slavery, the other is freedom.

It is a possible idea to have a cashless society. It will have to start with public enlightenment as many people today are still yet to accept this norm.Many people refuse to even collect their Debit as well as their credit cards, because bank charges and lack of knowledge on how it is used. It will go a long way if the government help to implement this by ensuring that certain things are put in place for proper starting of this policy. Good electricity power supply, free internet access, functional ATM .. etc are all that must be put in place for cashless plan to be able to work effectively.

Are we not inevitably going to a cashless society? However, it's going to take more time than expected, as 1\3 of Earth population (or even more) have not seen any digital device at all

You mean there was a cashless society thousand of years back,which history you are referring too,what ever any government comes up will be a centralized one and that is the only thing they can bring to have a control over it.Having a decentralized one is not that easy as it is hard to find a standard whether to understand it is truly decentralized or not.

I think you are missing the point. Cashless yes, but cryptoless not. Cryptos remove many of the inconveniences of cash and some structural problems like variable inflation.

This is feasible but not in near future. You need hardwares and infrastructures to implement this. Reliable internet is a must. Online payments relies on internet, and we all know that not every part of the world is covered, especially in the remote areas.

In my opinion, cashless systems could be done in big and modern countries. However I guess the cashless system can not be realized in the village and the various traditional places. Why ? Because not everyone understands and can use technology. Many people can not use a computer and do not have a smartphone. They are the poor people who live in the village and the simple environment. They will go to traditional markets to transact and shop. You understand what I mean right? The point is, cashless systems can be realized slowly in the city, but can not be realized in the village. And Cash and currency in physical form are still needed.

Of course it possible, but a cashless society - a decentralized one - will hit so many istitutionalized powers that you can bet that there is still a lot of path before its realization.

It's a long way off before that happen, not until everyone, every country has the access to computer and when crypto currency and the government collide into one to become it official digital fiat currency worldwide, when that happen that's the only time people will use is in every way, all the time.

This make it possible if the government allows it ,and we live in advancement world we could follow other countries. But make sure a lot people educate about specially those people who doesnt know how to used computers .And other that that it gives help to everyone when it comes to transactions

Abiky i believe a paper currency less society is possible but not in the recent future. First of all this will require universal free internet access which will not be possible until probably thirty years time that is even if the developed world is ready to make sacrifice to help the less endowed get to that le
Everybody needs physical money. But what if their is no money in one society its not progressive. Because all of us needs money.

Cashless society is happening now, actually its already started years ago. Upon the existence of debit and credit card, online banking, online shopping and many other forms that doesnt require cash. The new trend now is the cryptocurrencies and I think also based on the idea of online stores and banking. Sooner or later, these coins will be the primary mode of payment in the digital or online transactions,

They can't just remove or replace fiats with bitcoin or any other digital currency that easily. We all know that digital currency is not stable, it is still unstable and not suitable for being a national currency or even global currency. If digital currency is used in a country as such, I think that will be a big threat since the price can be manipulated and that country's economy will be done for.
