Yup. Despite how magical and convenient Pix is, I still consider returning to cash just for the huge privacy liability of using Pix. But it's so engrained in the culture now that you can't really use anything else

As a São Paulo citizen, I really don't recommend cash due robbery. Privacy may be a 1st world problem, but here, assault is a real concern.

Even in America it is an issue. Younger Americans maybe don't realise how prevalent muggings used to be when cash was common.
