> The only ones I know who are still using cash are drug dealers

I was about to say "that's not true, the pot stores are cash only too", before realizing that from the perspective of the Feds that's the same thing.

So I guess my real answer is non-business transactions, like buying things on craigslist, or paying my cat sitter.

In my country you send money to other people with an app using their telephone number. It's developed as a joint venture between all banks.

No idea. The convenience is more important to me personally than the risk of being screwed over but since everyone is using it I presume there are people putting pressure back.
