Not only that, but just because it&#x27;s currently popular to pay with plastic or some other form of electronic transfer, it shouldn&#x27;t &quot;criminalize&quot; cash.<p>I&#x27;m not a conspiracy nut but I can certainly see how someone who is could view this as an effort to legally coerce citizens into using only traceable methods of payment approved by commercial processors under the implication that something like cash or bitcoin would only be used by those trying to hide something.
