a totally cashless society would be extremely vulnerable if the country were attacked or exposed to a natural disaster
digital payments give law enforcement and government authorities a direct window into all transactions.
digital money could one day be linked to political and social behavior in Western countries in a social credit system
I don't agree that cash is printed freedom because it's fiat currency, not sound money. Allowing a central authority to counterfeit money allows governments to tyrannize their citizens by creating currency and forcing their citizens to finance said tyranny. If we had sound money, illegal immigration would not exist and payments to them could not exist. Commiefornia could not afford to run a deficit like it does now. Central banks couldn't use most of the policies they have now to manipulate the economy and so on.
