Wtf does their government not insure their money? In the US money is stolen from bank accounts all the time but nobody ever knows the difference because the banks just replace it and if they go insolvent they get bailed out and if they didn’t get bailed out most people would have their money re-printed by the government

Cash isn't going to be much use if notting's working which will be the case when everything's dependent upon an internet connection

You'll be surprised just how fast the system rolls back in a crisis. Hope you're ready.

Yes but lets say the boomers will be dead/brain dead when this happens, zoomers aren't going to be able to cope and mass violent anarchy will unfold.

kek, days after a swede was convincing me on /int/ that digital money is the future and that we're too paranoid for having an aversion to cashless society

This is somewhat odd, because as the article rightly observes there's a strong push for the abolishment of cash. Because it gives more control to the state.
On the other hand, Western countries are being deindustrialized for Le Climate Change (UN Agenda 2030) so perhaps they are just anticipating power outages like the ones we saw in California. With growing social unrest it will be convenient for them to shut down the Internet sooner or later as it happened in Iran. But in that case it's not obvious that having cash in circulation is a advantage for the government.

I already did, and also stocked up on my medication, guns, ammo, foreign currency, and everything else they don't want me to have.

Cashless society is a meme. It'll never be real, and the moment it is, people will instantly realize how utterly fucked they are, and I have no interest in partaking in their nonsense. I'll give "cashless society" a year, then it'll be abolished by law, same every other retarded progressive nonsense thing that actually gets passed. No, what you hear on shitplaces like /pol/ about Sweden isn't reality. Get the fuck out of here, but the push for everybody using scan chips and cards is real, and it's gonna fuck people instantly.
