<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3556391, member: 39&quot;]Eggs may not work well as long-lasting mediums of exchange, except when made by Fabergé maybe. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But yes, I understand the point about cash registers. It&#039;s just that I have heard this &quot;no electricity, cannot open right now&quot; before but have (where I live, knock on wood, etc.) never experienced a longer outage ...</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like the idea that with cash you can make payments without being tracked. But to some extent this concept would also work in a world without cash - see the blockchain based crypto currencies. (Yes, I know they have their faults, from manipulability if that is a proper word <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> to high energy consumption, but the point is, there are alternatives.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I find concerning when it comes to cash: How do we get it? Some of us may actually get paid that way, but most will withdraw it. And with low to zero interest rates, banks charge extra for all kinds of services. So why not charge, say, 2 percent whenever a customer takes his or her own money, in cash, out of an account? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":grumpy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
