What worries me the most is that digital money is essentially virtual, and is controlled by someone other than the owner. Whenever I have to deposit money into my bank account I feel nervous, almost as if I'm letting go of it. I know this isn't true, but public trust in the banks is so incredibly low these days, I don't think we can really be blamed for feeling cautious at best.<br />Besides, the convenience of having cash for small purchases is unrivalled!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-15770024549018600322012-03-20T11:37:45.417-05:002012-03-20T11:37:45.417-05:00We also need to start envisioning a "carless ...We also need to start envisioning a "carless society".Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-42310293936809218792012-03-20T04:54:30.494-05:002012-03-20T04:54:30.494-05:00Have lived in Sweden for nearly 5 years.

I can see my current invoices in my bank account inbox for rent, electricity, internet, etc 30 days before they are due, and then pay them directly. I pay a semi-annual fee of approx 15.00 USD. <br /><br />expat in SverigeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-71178410289570325072012-03-19T22:50:01.224-05:002012-03-19T22:50:01.224-05:00To me it seems that organized crime benefits the m...To me it seems that organized crime benefits the most from an anonymous cash systems.

You know, those in the packages with the key codes on the outside of the packaging, and pay with a credit or debit card. Might as well put a sign on your house: "We're stupid.

Cash is a reasonable failsafe.<br /><br />Banks charge retailers (thus consumers) ridiculous fees for electronic transactions. Electronic banking should be regulated as a utility since it's no longer truly optional. Transaction costs should be controlled.BJNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-60548652182837560872012-03-19T11:20:13.950-05:002012-03-19T11:20:13.950-05:00Revelation 13:16-18
