Will cash be phased out?

[MrDawn]

Do you think cash will ever be phased out to where people can only use debit cards, credit cards, & cash apps?

Why or why not?

 

[Bryn]

No, because some people are still dependent on cash, such as the elderly. Also, using cash makes you less of a victim of fraud and transactions with it are anonymous as well.

The Amish deal in cash...I think @PGen98 and I had a conversation elsewhere in that we suspect they might accept some other forms of payment haha

Not in my lifetime. Hell, I'm still using checks to pay my rent (that's all I use them for). We'll probably resort to more e-payment options, but cash will stick around a lot longer.

 

[Kyng]

I hope not. It's a great backup for when electronic payment methods fail!

I do believe physical cash will be a thing of the past at some point in time. We're not there yet, and it probably won't happen in our lifetimes.

I don’t think it’ll phase out anytime soon.

Hope that you're right about that.
Cash is good.
We have a small grocery store chain here (WinCo) that will accept Debit cards or Cash; but not Credit cards. I think they're trying to minimize their 'outflow'.
