Today the Washington post wrote an article titled "Whats in your wallet? " http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/05/12/whats-in-your-wallet-probably-not-cash/.  No reference to Bitcoin but it clearly supports the notion that paying with or carrying cash is a thing of the past for most.  People simple want to pay by swipe of a card or touch of a mobile device.  Enter virtual currencies to replace that cash.

So how much cash is in your wallet?

How much bitcoin is in your "Hot" wallet for payments?

I only use electronic payments online because there's no other choice.

I don't need no purchase/spending history to follow me around for life.

How much bitcoin is in your "Hot" wallet for payments?

I only ever pay with cash and never use my Card except for getting cash from an ATM. Since I don't carry a Tracking device (Smartphone?), it's not easy for be to pay in bitcoin at Brick and Mortar stores. Sometimes when I got my Netbook in my bag and bitcoin is accepted, I ask if they provide internet access for people to broadcast their transactions of if they broadcast transactions for their customers.

I live in Germany and lots of people here pay with cash, though it slowly gravitates towards using some kind of card.
For online payments I usually use either bitcoin or cash on delivery.

I walk around with $700 - $3,000 usd in my physical wallet, 50 BTC in my phone wallet, and [redacted] BTC in my brain wallet.

Also, a .22

Not much, usually something like $20. I  preorder things online and pay using my online account, even if I'm planning to pick it up from the store. This way I pay immediately after shopping and can forget it. Probably the only 2 things I pay for with cash are cabs and food orders.

credit cards = taxes over transactions, paid indirectly by consumers.
I know two stores with really low prices, and none of them accepts credit cards

I usually keep 10-20 in notes in my wallet and some change in coins, but mainly use cards. No point carrying loads of cash round if you don't need it, especially when you can lose it. I hope one day I dont even need tthat and can pay with bitcoins on my phone though.

I very rarely carry cash. Most of the time ill have less then $5 on me at any given time(just enough to buy a coffee type of thing). Ill put everything else on the cc as it makes it easier to track what I spend my money on.

When it comes to bitcoin I keep about 0.5 in my hotwallet at any given time. Where I live there isnt really much I can buy with bitcoin so I use it more to give out a little when I find people that are interested in bitcoin(tend to give out about $5 when they show some interest).

It looks like the article was fairly accurate. I personally carry 20-40 unless traveling and then bump it up but credit and debit cards are basically accepted everywhere.

Have not had much need to use any BTC in a hot wallet yet.

People still carry cash, though not as much as they used to.
