Shout out for cash.
I found the topic for today's post, on Sue's blog. I can't go on there and join in, so I will put a few thoughts of my own here about saving loose change. This is a habit a lot of people have, to put their coins in a jar and have a count up once a year, or even two years. This gives them a nice little nest egg to spend at Christmas.
This way of saving may become extinct in the years to come, as we move towards Central Bank Digital Currency. We are already half way there when shops start refusing cash and will only take payment by card, or an app on a phone. With the closure of so many bank branches it will become more difficult to access our own cash from our accounts.
The banks say they are closing because of lack of walk in customers. In truth this was always the plan, to move everybody over to internet and electronic banking and payments. Spending cash is anonymous, no one to judge you on how you spend your money. Spending electronically leaves a trail. Your lifestyle, what you buy, and how much money you have is there for everyone to see. Your privacy is greatly diminished by every recorded transaction you make.
I was interested in the comments on Sue's blog post. It seems some people have become aware of the impending changeover to CBDC, and some of them are prepared to let it happen and go along with it. Personal choice of course.
You may remember that all this upheaval started at the beginning of the plandemic. We were told that cash, coins and notes were dirty, and passing them around would help to spread the virus. That conspiracy theory is now debunked, as with a lot of the panic measures that were brought in to keep us safe.
If I may quote from Sue's comments. . . . . . . .
Because of the pandemic I hardly use cash now and I think this is bad on so many levels.
As I have explained above. But if you carry on as you are, you can't complain when all your income and expenditure are just numbers on a spreadsheet. It's not to late to revert back to spending cash.
The problem is there are people who still use cash, like taxi drivers and people in the markets. I don't see it as a problem, the changeover has happened. The banks withdraw their services, and left many people stranded.
Using cash is only a problem to those who want us to move towards globalisation. Those who want to control our every move. Closing banks is a part of this plan. It is deliberate to leave people stranded.
Banks don't seem to like it when you turn up with bags of coins. I simply use them up as I go along.
Sensible solution.
We use cash a lot in all the small shops.
Another sensible solution.
Now I barely use cash and wonder how long it will be before we are an entirely cashless society.
It will come sooner or later, unless people wake up and say no.
I don't like the idea of a cashless society, and cheques are very nearly a thing of the past.
I wrote a cheque just the other day, and put it in the post for my water bill.
Posts about this topic are going to come up for many more years. I have no wish to get into long conversations about it here. Please go to Sue's blog if you wish to discuss further.
It's a dry, cold day, so I am going for a walk. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
