Sweden on track to stop using cash by 2023

[Lakai01]

hoping in other countries will also follow Sweden. this is the time to develop blockchain adoption for business.

This hasnt anything to do with blockchain adoption. Sweden removes paper money and coins in favour of credit and debit cards. A side effect is that your bank knows EVERYTHING about you now, they know where, when and for what you spend every single cent.

Although the link you provided is not working, you might want to fix that, back to your topic I think it's possible that in the future we might actually see a world of cashless money and for Sweden to do this I'm guessing they have to create there own crypto coin, well it's a good thing and Sweden is not the only one on my list,  look at Venezuela too, let's wait and see how the future plays out

Before, I am telling my aunt about this matter. What if we stop using cash and start using crypto? She said, that would be impossible to happen. I guess through this post and news regarding sweden, I can not rebut her point and say. Cryptocurrency is the future of money. I really wanted to skip fiats. Let us embrace crypto.

I am not surprised. Sweden is known as one of the most leftist countries in Europe, with some of the highest rax rates. That said, I am not sure how successful this measure can be, as there will be a lot of people out there who does not own credit or debit cards.

Sweden is a fairly developed country, and I would not be surprised that they will be one of the first to introduce electronic money into daily use, in particular cryptocurrency.

Thats great innovation, But can it be sustain for a long time without cash? how about the swedish monetary unit, is it useless already those are few question regarding this matter that needs to be clarified since if Sweden became a successful implementor of that cashless system im sure that more countries are going to follow's Sweden's step on a cashless society.

They are definitely heading towards electronic money. but now is not the time for them to use electronic money to pay for everything. Legal procedures and the prestige of businesses have not been guaranteed. But I'm sure one thing, when crypto is ready to serve payment services and is controlled by law, Sweden will be the first country to use it.

For this to be really possible i think global population still requires a lot of education and awareness, the data and internet should be available for cheap, smartphone and computers should be available everywhere easily and for minimal price and then comes the use and adoption of crypto and mobile payments so at the moment seems like we are way behind especially of we consider developing and under developed countries.

In fact countries like Sweden are not very Bitcoin friendly. You can see in Europe, the Western nations are okay and the Eastern regions as well are extremely favorable towards crypto,,, but as you go up higher north in Scandinavia even the banks are quite against them. This is what people are confusing with when they call Bitcoin digital money. In Sweden and other places digital money is just fiat in electronic form.

Bad news for me if this comes to my country (and it probably does).
For now i have been able to convert btc to cash without any problems and live with that.
But when i try to put too much money on my bank account and use it from there, the bank can just freeze my account, until they know where the money is originated from. (as i can't explain most of the trades and gains)

I am pretty much screwed financially if the large scale bitcoin adoption won't come before that.

Just in the movie "Time" to pay their electronic time. Of course this is a joke. I think most governments. Not ready for the transition to digital gold.

This is one positivity news so far. If Sweden can achieve this adoption of cryptocurrency for a cashless society, then we have a step ahead. There's hope for the future of cryptocurrency.

But I doubt the whole volume will shift to cryptos. There are other ways as well. Most probably government will bring its own crypto. But that will definitely boost the volume in cryptos because if not all, a few will definitely shift in cryptos. The utility is what we need to take crypto to the moon. We need to hit $1 trillion market cap.

i am believed they will legalize cryptocurrency in their country as preparation their policy stop using cash.maybe digital and cryptocurrency could be the solution in sweden.it will decrease crime action.

WOW another good news that will surely bring cheers to the investors, crypto enthusiast and the whole crypto world. Yes you are right cryptocurrency is inching closer and closer day by day to becoming embraced by the entire world. I think digital currency will replace fiat money little by little. It takes time but it does happen. The coming generation and future is the time of digital currency where the people can enjoy transaction without hassles imposed unnecessarily by banks.

So that's great. Progressive is strange. Will show an example. With good luck, they will be able to attract more investment in their country.

When you can pay anything in just a few seconds and why do we need fiat cash in the future? there was a lot of ways of electronic payment just like QR code and this is an example of how QR code payment system just takes a few seconds.

[sockpuppet1911]

Look, what Sweden is trying to implement is rather terrifying than superb. What they actually want to achieve is an absolute control over money of their citizens. No one is able to "freeze" banknotes in your pocket, but guess what would happen in that situation with a frozen bank account... Well, nothing great for sure. I do not support fiat currencies at all, but in this situation, holding any "physical money" gives you the power to survive attacks from any institution that would declare you untrustworthy for any reason. Just lesser evil at this point.

I am glad that someone is pointing this out. I am stunned about the amount of people on this thread that actually think this is good news. Cash is the last more or less uncontrolled form of fiat money and they are getting rid of that.

[shimbark123]

Elon Musk, a known personality said the same way but this is a world situation. We can have a cashless society in the future. And I hope that it is near. Once that happens, it will be a very big mass(a excited redundant expression) adoption in the whole world and cryptocurrency will be known worldwide. A mass adoption is greatly needed for this.

I think we are still far from the cashless society because there are still many peoples using cash money.
Even there are peoples who doesn't have any bank accounts nowadays.
At least they must know how bank accounts and virtual money works, so they can transact each others cashless.
