> Now that they are banning cash

You're talking as if introducing a nationwide speed limit is equivalent to banning cars. The regulation of a given operation is not akin to outright banning it and to assert that is hyperbole.

Remember about 10 years ago when Cyprus started confiscating money held in bank accounts to settle debts and the people holding cash kept their money because it was physically in their possession and harder to confiscate?

Remember earlier this year when people in Lebanon had to hold bank managers at gun point to try and withdraw money from their own accounts as the economy collapsed?

The "CaSH hAZ nO PuRpOSe eXCePt fOR cRImE" people in this comment section have massive blind spots. I'm not surprised politicians are taking advantage of it.
