Of course, that's always an option. (Unless they go full cashless, that would be a serious problem.)
But you could say the same thing about this palm scanner. Don't use it dumbass, just use cash!
So what makes the palm scanner worse than a credit card?
Anything biometric is worse than an inanimate object like a piece of plastic! Biometric is an invasion of a person’s individuality! But like I said, if you have no problem with it, be my guest!
That's the thing fren, I do have a problem with it. I share the same gut reaction to this palm scanner that you do. I just can't articulate exactly why. So I am asking these questions to flesh out the reasoning.
A website can ban you and force you to use other methods of payment. A bank can cancel your account and force you to find an alternative bank. When you become the method of payment and they deem you an enemy of "society" they don't have to worry about all that. They can actually cancel you so that your palm,or face, or retina is deleted from the system. Think how compliant people will become when they realise they can't purchase any goods or services
That would require that biometrics be the only accepted method of payment. And while they may have plans on implementing it on that scale, they have a very long way to go to get there. Meanwhile, cancelling someone's ability to participate in the financial system is already easily technologically feasible today without any biometric information required.
