<p>[QUOTE="Notaphylic_C, post: 8114034, member: 130786"]Anyone who argues that<i> paper money has become irrelevant</i> are typically from the <a href="https://www.betterthancash.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.betterthancash.org/" rel="nofollow">Better Than Cash Alliance</a> (<b>BTCA</b>) gang who continue to laud their efforts to deprive you & me from simple cash transactions (& any sense of privacy). This is the same lobby group who have continued to argue how much cleaner/healthier credit/debit card transactions are (despite no concrete evidence). What's worse is that BTCA pioneers are the falling down wealthy 'egg-heads' who pushed Bitcoin/credit card commerce so successfully (via Youtube). Most of these folks have staff to manage their portfolios & send out posts about the end of cash, etc. They couldn't give a '___' about political missteps in a banknote's design but they love this kind of dirt.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing that sucks about BTCA's success is that it IS typically these same Bitcoin investors/geeks who get tired of virtual wealth (sitting in code) & typically crave some 'bling' for their savvy investments. They end up buying-in on coins/rare currency (real estate, etc) for something concrete so that all of us regular folk/collectors (or people who want a roof over their heads) end up paying an arm&leg for regular banknotes (or homes & coins) that were pretty inexpensive (or accessible) just a few short years ago. This REALLY sucks for the brainwashed younger generation who continue to follow the BTCA down their slippery slope of digital transactions b/c math & handling cash is inconvenient (ha ha). Yes, it is ironic that those who have the most to lose are those who feed this insipid ideology (the never ending cycle of madness).</p><p><br /></p><p>But yeah, banknote designs should be very careful in what they portray.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
