I'd be worried about manipulation of digital currencies assuming they go centralised
the purpose isn't to get the revenue back it's to act as a disincentive
Currency is pretty much entirely digital already.
Technically most multi-national currency is already digitalized
Cash is a holdover.
Scale_e, your visa/mc/amex comment was possibly the most naive thing i've ever seen on the subject
If there’s competition, we’ll be fine.
these corporations are already putting their thumbs on the scale and dictating who is allowed to transact
there won't be
The _if_ is the issue
Facebook is coming out with their currency and its going to be ... interesting
The if is certain. As to whether the if will remain is doubtful
They’re kowtowing to leftists agitators. When they start losing market share because of the shenanigans, the shenanigans will stop.
Potentially. Probably likely, but not in our lifetimes
No, *really* fast.
No. Most certainly not fast.
It is not that easy to bring down the top chunk
There's a damn good reason that leftists are pushing a cashless society
The market isn't responsive enough in the same way democracy isn't or at least both a really slow
Unless you have tanks, jets, and nukes
WAKE UP SHEEPLE
It wouldn't be a moneyless society it'll just be all digital
“Hi! We’re the NRA! And we’re asking all our members to switch from MasterCard to VISA, because MasterCard are a sack of dicks!”
Fkn done, son.
Alright, push for it
The door swings both ways
Tell me how it goes
I'm sure the NRA would _love_ a serious lack of funding
When it starts swinging, the companies will return to “Hey, we just handle money. Fuck all y’all and ur issues.”
They don’t want uncertainty
it's not NRA members in that argument that you'd need to change, it's the entirety of society
Its questionable if certain things should become cultural battlegrounds or not it doesn't incentivise a stable system
It’s happening now, I know it looks gargantuan, but for real. The market will adjust. It always does. Calm ur tits.
Nope
Oh, it surely does. I'll side with you there. Market always adjusts.
There is absolutely no evidence
In favor of the market controllers
Which is rarely in favor of those who have a majority consumership of that market
It’s not just leftists pushing for a cashless society
It’s just how technology goes
