Bubble Bursts is sitting at his office opening his wallet and looking at his cash with suspicion. "What are you hiding, cash?" he asks. "If the Swiss love you, you must be evil" he continues. The $10 bill stubbornly stays silent, but rustles with a hint of a smirk. "You will find out in due time"
I stopped for a pint in the pub yesterday evening and the barmaid was almost in tears because she said the card payment system had crashed and she couldn't serve anything. I assumed she meant her local system in the pub but in fact Worldpay had gone offline - it's a payment processor for hundreds of thousands of end users. Not the first time I have seen a large-scale outage like this.
I always carry cash but they still charged me almost seven quid for a pint of 4.3% IPA so I wasn't so lucky in the end.
Don't count your chickens. [They] will simply change the definition of "cash" just as they changed the definition of "vaccine". So everyone will have "cash" on their smartphones (or implants).
For those who don't know,Sweden and other countries have gone cashless,you can't even use money in most places. If they lose power or have computer problems they are 100% fuked.
Problem is that like all countries, companies in it will angle thing towards one thing over another.
My country passed a similar law a few years ago but collective transport(buss/ferries etc.) basically decided to stop accepting cash for convenience and security(automated cash lock-boxes would easily deal with this...) and no one seem to be objecting......
They speak three languages, infamous banks, one of the highest per capita gun ownership rates in the world, they have compulsory military duty for adult males, backed by a 'militia system', they appear in Jason Bourne movies, and now they are voting to stick with Cash.
I guess if you want to carve out a bit of breathing space in an insane world, this might be one way to do it.
Hey we need that, so some predatory cultish overlord can't wipe out everything we own by sticking its talon on a button.

Mind you, I don’t equate it federal reserve note with cash.
Its pretty much moot at this point since Trump/Bessent have taken control of the Fed.

And yet their banksters will try to push it on all the rest of us.
Woohooo.
Interesting that they mention 'central Europe'.
Not Brussels then?

The Swisskas are a curious bunch.
They speak three languages, infamous banks, one of the highest per capita gun ownership rates in the world, they have compulsory military duty for adult males, backed by a 'militia system', they appear in Jason Bourne movies, and now they are voting to stick with Cash.
