After Cash: All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses a Bank Account
&quot;Most of us are already moving toward a cashless society -- not because we care about the crime-fighting, but because the stuff is darned inconvenient.&quot;<p>What on earth are they talking about? Why do people keep saying cash is inconvenient, as if saying it makes it true? It is, in my experience, extremely convenient. It is the most convenient form of payment, person to person. I owe money to my friend. Do you have a pay-pass terminal? Oh you don&#x27;t. Let&#x27;s just log into our bank accounts. Let me make sure I got your BSB number and account number right. etc.<p>I want to give some money to the homeless beggar. Excuse me, do you have your bank details?<p>Cash is king for a reason: Convenience.
