The attachment to cash is something I’ll never understand.

Research Central Bank-issued Digital Currencies and specifically the so called “programmable money” parts of them. Central Banks and states are creating stuff like money that has an expiration date or that can only be spent on certain approved products and services.

Cash is privacy and no one can estimate your “climate footprint” based on its use while their class keeps on riding their private jets to World Economic Forum and other oligarch conferences.

This is not some futuristic stuff. All big countries are heavily invested in CBDCs, have pilot programs and some are already using them.
