It won't happen if enough people fight it. You should value privacy and have a healthy distrust of both banks and governments.
Here are the heartening results of an EU survey conducted earlier this year about restricting payments in cash[0]. In short, 94.9% of respondents oppose restrictions on cash payments. 86.9% believe that paying anonymously is an essential personal freedom. That's the spirit.
