Why the fuck do we still use cash?

[worhiper_-_]

well our goverment and the higher ups  i believe they could take advantage of us more easier..
even though i am not sure about my answer! you see if everything was iconic an error could do a lot of damage! but it would be more friendly to the environment! like not cutting trees down etc..!
 also they could easily cut down our salaries or take our money away with just some clicks!~(i think that's happening even now but it will be a lot more easy in the future!) .
I hope in the future we could use iconic cash like bit coin :/ as i said no more cutting trees down and so on! our only problem will be the hackers XD

To the argument that carrying a phone around is easier. Ehh my phone dies a lot. Plus it's big. Cash can be folded into something really small.

Slim Shady - it is better to buy drugs with cash.

Cash is king unlike the other payment systems there are no hidden fees using cash
Also you get discounts using cash in some stores especially in the wholesale area when you buy in bulk
Simply put cash has a lot of advantages

If you argue but I get reward points from my VISA for stuff
Think about it you already paid for it and its been pushed into the price of the product at the store before you go to the teller to check out

We need a cash form of Cryptocurrency.

Most crypto currency is a cash form, only that it is electronic as opposed to in paper form.

[Nawaytes]

because not everyone has the credit card, paypal, or ecurrency. 
cash is real and very safe.

when we already have crypto currencies, master cards, paypal and other shit, why do we use cash?

there were so many payment options, but ppl still invented bitcoin..
we all use what we find more apropriate, and you can use cash anywhere, unlike paypal,crypto..etc

idea of creating a world market that would accept crypto everywhere you go is still far ahead.

LOL, now yes i got your point. bt why do we still use cash for larger transactions?

I personally don't know many people that use Cash for "large" purposes. Cash still has some advantages over BTC atm, for example it is much easier to transact in cash when you do not have access to an internet connection.

This is a joke right?
We can't just eliminate cash
Some businesses still only accept cash and not even card, and you expect them to quickly adapt to crypto currency?

Cash will always be around, crypto currency still has a lot to prove and a long time before bigger businesses even think about adapting coins

I think its slowly moving away from cash to electronic forms of payment.  Just will take a few generations for everyone to get used to it.

Generations, exactly.
Can't see crypto replacing cash or card anytime soon, or even becoming an alternative
To complicated for the average joe

Cash is elegantly low-tech It is simple to understand and does not require internet access or even electricity in order to function. Many places in this world have neither internet nor electricity, and cash is unaffected by service outages.

Another advantage of cash it it's relative anonymity as it generally cannot be traced and it is nearly impossible to determine who had/spent what exact dollar bill

Would you spend your bitcoin?

If you wouldn't, why expect other to spend it?

[deebob]

Because its the oldest trusted currency out lol.

This is spot on, esp small business owners that want more under the table.

Bitcoin compete directly with the credit card system in place. Credit card fee is around 3% that comes with stability and services.

Can bitcoin offer the same stability and service for less than 3% fee?

[trand]

because the cash is means of exchange recognized by the state and only the state is entitled to have it so hard for in the monopoly by a handful of people

Try buying casino chips to play poker with a credit card... my local establishment won't allow it.  Sure, they'll let you withdraw cash and then turn that cash into chips, but they're not allowed to convert card to chips directly.  Anyway, if I want to play poker I don't want a nice undeniable paper trail showing where I was and what I was doing.
