Absolutely - we are completely f----- if we allow a cashless system. Not sure what you know about Aadhaar, but Giancarlo's working with a guy who helped implement it. https://www.cftc.gov/sites/default/files/2018-10/FintechAgenda100318_0.pdf
Our gov is partnering with these jerks: https://www.forbes.com/sites/vipinbharathan/2020/08/30/fed-partners-with-mit-based-digital-currency-initiative-to-explore-central-bank-digital-currency/#17dd1613fa13
These guys are chomping at the bit to get us into cashless - and a Biden admin (which I believe will NOT happen) would have us switched to cashless within a month - tops - of inauguration. They already have everything in place to do this - It would be done like India's - with an announcement and time limit to turn in existing cash. Then the cashless system would be linked to a biometric id system - essentially Aadhaar.
