Hello! Thanks for your post. I'll admit I prefer to read than to commit to watching a video, but that's just me...keep doing your thing please! In any case, I wanted to answer the question in your title simply: YES. A cashless society would be very bad for the people. We are already losing/have already lost our privacy. The bill of rights is being eroded and attacked constantly, whether we take notice or not. Almost the only thing we have left is some level of control over how we spend and the vehicle we use to do so. Limiting options that protect financial confidentiality is a step towards limiting freedom altogether. Caution to all. Thanks for being a thinker!
