<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3554925, member: 72790&quot;]At the risk of sounding paranoid, I think that cash offers me the opportunity to purchase items that I just as soon not have either my neighbors, those running the internet or Big Brother know that I buy. It makes no difference that the purchases are legal today. Tomorrow might be a different matter. Cash offers a security that the state cannot easily control or readily deprive me of. If one&#039;s assets are easily tied to the grid they can be frozen, confiscated, seized, allocated or simply lost (as US retirees living South of the Border have just discovered). I see cash as giving me the liberty to purchase what I choose and the security to keep it. I expect governments to push for the elimination of cash, on the grounds of &quot;convenience&quot;, (for them, maybe) but the actual reason will be something very different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
