It's not just the alarmist tone or the jittery pacing that makes this listicle unworthy of broad attention, it's the rhetorical errors as well. The author attributes this change to a war on cash rather than a global trend in response to common pressures and doesn't provide any strong evidence that governments themselves are driving these forces.

The selected links contain plenty of anecdotes but few balanced studies or statistics about why these changes are happening.

There's an interesting element of truth here: the world is moving to new systems of payment and cash use is declining, but the author is trying to frame this as dangerous without deriving a strong argument and is not clearly framing the status of cash. 1 stars for an interesting premise and a weak execution.

I think the upvotes are coming from an interest in this particular subject more than the source. I would like better material collected on the subject. Anyone have an alternative choice for research or discussion on this subject?

I found the tone problematic, and the "About" page even more-so. The blog covers, among other things, "important issues from 9/11 Truth and false flag terror".

I have up voted despite sharing your sentiment. I am simply interested in the discussion.

Same here.

There's some interesting discussion to be had in this space, but any source that unironically uses the word "bankster" doesn't belong here.

This guy did an AMA on /r/conspiracy. I unknowingly watched a doc he did on history of "oil-ligarchy" which was actually quite interesting, I then went on to look in about it... So, anyway, just look at the AMA, it's definitely conspiracy theory material, admittedly so.
