Not surprised by the 73%. Even people who never carry cash anymore can see the problem with going fully digital — you're one outage or one policy change away from not being able to buy groceries. Cash doesn't need wifi, doesn't need approval, doesn't go down for maintenance.

The 30% usage stat makes it even more interesting. These aren't cash diehards. These are people who tap their card for everything but still don't want the analog option killed off. You protect the thing you might need, not just the thing you use every day.
