Totally agree. I like to use cash and wish it was gold and silver backed but that's another story. It would really be inconvenient to buy anything with digital currency since you have to use a digital gadget that you have to drag with you all the time and have to keep it charged just to do transactions. That messes with time management in a big way and people don't realize it. But having to rely on the internet and a digital gadget all the time to access your digital currency is just crazy. As most people are addicted to their cell phones, I refuse to carry one, its for emergencies only and stays in the vehicle. As some have already mentioned, if a powerful coronal mass ejection CME from the sun caused an EMP or an enemy blasts a nuke 400 miles up, that EMP would destroy anything digital, as hundreds of millions of digital gadgets would burn up and all digital currency would disappear, but tangible gold and silver remains. No one has yet explained how digital currency would be protected when all computers fail worldwide after an EMP. In the end it would be total chaos because we rely so much on digital throw-away gadgets.
