are you telling me you have never had a bank note in your pocket for the last 5 years?

if you have had bank notes in the last 5 years, your own reason for having it, is your own answer you request.

Because crypto is still an alien concept.
I mine and then I understand.
Since people get burned by many kind of "new" types of invesment
Most people wont spend a sec to even think about mining.
Exchanging cryptos for cash is even suicidal in most people's eyes.

Describe "large"


I personally rarely use cash anymore. From food to gas to buying something else, I use my debit/CC's. In the very near future I hope to use my Bit/Lite cards Wink.

Well you must belong to some developed country. In my country we use a lot lot of cash, and the problem that arise is that fake currency also gets supplied to our country which results in loss to our economy.

I am so very sorry to hear that, I hope that crypto's give you and every other underdeveloped nation an opportunity to live to your full potential!

And yes, I live in America. But to note a lot of fake cash gets into our economy as well, its called printing money at the federal reserve  Cheesy.

:-) because my phone can't go a day without requiring a recharge.
One linked card, scanable tattoo or linked accounts by bio-scan would be great.

Cash is still the simplest means to exchange money anonymously and securely without Big Brother watching.

Because some people can't leave paper trails to avoid tax. Why do you think all those Asian restaurants are cash only places? Also if you're an illegal immigrant working, you're forced to transact in cash only.
