    The post has lots of downvotes and almost not discussion on the content. OP: feel free to re-post it. I believe this has been very unfortunate! The content (now properly linked) deserves better acknowledgement from our community.

    Sad that this is downvoted IMO, seems like an issue we should be more aware of.
    And here in Denmark we have very definitely gone far regarding going cashless.
    Almost nobody pays cash anymore, and cash payments of more than €2500 are now illegal to prevent money laundering and drug trade.
    Exactly as she says.

    Of course we want European alternatives to Visa and Mastercard, but when we are forced to use digital currencies because they can be tracked more easily, which is exactly the case here in Denmark, we could end up having privacy issues, and excessive control of how we spend our money.
