True, and there are benefits you get for that 3% (rental car insurance, reduced cost of a mugging, etc. etc.) but I still wonder if cash (not necessarily bitcoin) would be better for the system as a whole for everyday purchases.

Keep in mind that cash has costs too. It has to be counted and secured. You have to hire a security company to pick up deposits and most banks charge for cash deposits over a certain amount.
