It wasn't that long ago, I am certain your comment would have been downvoted on HN.
It wasn't that long ago Google or Apple were Saint. The future is Apple Pay, Cashless, Contactless Credit Card, Crypto.
It wasn't that long ago people that worries about privacy or freedom were over reacting, paranoid, pessimistic.
It wasn't that long ago having physical Cash, topping up your Oyster / Opal / Myki / Suica / Octopus / EZ-Link / Presto or any other Top Up Prepaid Card were dumb. The future is Apple Wallet.
