Cash Means Freedom
No fees or commission are charged when using cash.
Cash is tangible. You can feel it.
Small businesses and traders depend on cash.*You can save surplus cash for a rainy day.
With cash you can haggle for a discount.
Cash gives us protection from computer fraud.
Cash gives us protection from technological breakdown.
Cash gives us more control over our own money.
We can be more generous with cash, we can tip and gift as we please.
Cash gives a ‘real world’ facility to budget efectively.
Cash helps us to avoid overspending.
Privacy of expenditure is maintained using cash—no monitoring, questioning or snooping by ‘big brother’.
Paying by Card/Phone Means Loss of Freedom
Cashless systems take away our freedom. Digital currencies can be frozen, preventing you from buying or selling anything.
Cashless systems make us subservient to the banks.
Digitalisation will enable the monitoring of every transaction we make and limit where, when and what we can spend our money on.
It gives others the power to ‘freeze’ our bank account.
It will link our money to health passport, carbon allowance and social credit score.
Digital currencies are what the billionaire ‘elites’ want us to use in order to have total control and authority of our purchasing power.
Reasons I Use Cash
To send a clear message to banks and our public servants: I do not consent being controlled by the government and bank.
To remain free to purchase what I want.
To avoid small businesses paying hefty bank charges.
To tip a waiter/waitress.
To put inside a birthday card or hand to someone sitting on a cold pavement.
To be able to leave a bag unattended eg. in a sports hall or on a beach with a small amount of cash in it without worrying about a bank card being stolen.
To put in a parking meter (card-only machines being exclusionary).
To buy/sell items or services anywhere without the transaction being traced. (A governmental digital ID linked to a Central Bank Digital Currency could be programmed to prevent transactions out - with a certain radius).
To keep track of spending (it’s too easy to tap, tap away paying by card or mobile phone).
To ensure people without bank accounts, or full mental capacity, are not excluded from society.
Why I use cash
Anonymity
The government wants to track and trace all your movements, online and in person, but this is curtailed when we use cash.Using cash, they cannot locate your transactions, they do not know how much you spend, on what you spent it, or to whom the money went. This afects their ongoing desire to control you by gathering your data to curtail your choices.
Use it or lose it
The more we use cash the less likely they are to be able to remove it from us, and the less likely retailers will be pushed into refusing cash in exchange for goods and services.
Digital tyranny
The ongoing fow of cash through the economy helps to slow the march to a digital dystopia. Digitisation is the goal, if this is achieved the game is over and we are slaves.
Independence
If we have control of our own cash, we are free. We have the power to transact when, and with whom we want to. If cash is gone, choice leaves the equation.
Protection of small and medium size businesses
Keeping cash means that we are morelikely to transact locally, in person, and give our business to like-minded folk who can reduce their overheads by directly dealing in cash. When we stop giving our money wholesale to those large institutions that seek to squeeze out the small traders, we help to foster a thriving parallel economy.
Beware of the bail ins
As it is, we can withdraw our money from the banks and use it how we see ft. If money is fully digitised, a mere push of a button will remove it from your account to bail out the banks in the event of a fnancial crash and you will be left with no alternative currency.
Individual sovereignty
If we lose cash all your decisions will be monitored and dictated by the state, on pain of your basic universal income being penalised and reduced. This would afect every and all aspects of your life forever. Your ability to make decisions based on what is right for you and your family will end.
