<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1468134, member: 37498&quot;]A little food for thought: When they do move to electronic currency, what, if any, role will PM have?&nbsp; Will there be an increase in its use for bartering among people who don&#039;t want Big Brother knowing what they&#039;re buying/selling?</p><p><br /></p><p>Forget Big Brother, what about Big Mama?&nbsp; If people don&#039;t start using PM for bartering, how would all the married guys on business trips tip strippers?&nbsp; Certainly not with an electronic payment device!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Escaping taxes is not the only purpose of cash.&nbsp; If we move to a strictly electronic only currency system, there will still be a need for some way to pay for items that you don&#039;t want <i>someone</i> to know about.&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s all on the up and up.&nbsp; Take me for example.&nbsp; I share <i>EVERYTHING</i> with my wife.&nbsp; We have joint checking, savings, brokerage, credit card, house titles, car titles, motorcycle titles, etc.&nbsp; Everything is in both our names and we have full access to everything.&nbsp; If we move to an all electronic payment system, there will be a paper trail for everything, including presents.&nbsp; Do I really want my wife knowing how much I spent and where, either before her birthday or even after?</p><p><br /></p><p>The only question is, what will become the preferred physical currency of choice?&nbsp; The coins and paper currenly in circulation (which will have no &quot;official&quot; value once they&#039;re demonitized) or PM?&nbsp; Or something else?&nbsp; My guess would be PM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
