Cash is great. Can't be tracked, credit card companies don't get to discriminate against the poor and create negative feedback loop traps that they can't out of, it's easier to be financially responsible with it.

Bit unfortunate too that paying with cash just adds a tax onto the poor since the fees are basically priced into goods sold at stores, typically regardless of whether or not cash is used.

But yeah, nice to have the option to use both!

I also know that credit cards have their advantages, but what are the main benefits of going fully cashless (at the individual and systemic level)? Is it mostly crime related shenanigans?
