In what sense can the narrator claim that in a cashless society, payments will be fast and convenient? Cash seems plenty fast to me. However, one does need to await for any change that is due to them, where with a card transaction, there is no need for change. Thus, a card could be faster on average than cash, but is the wait for change typically that long? Sure, there will be those rare times when a cashier will need to open a roll of coins, or retrieve smaller bills from a machine, but then there are plenty of times when receiving your change is close to being instantaneous. Yet, there are times when cash is much quicker than a card. For example, paying your bill at a restaurant where your server can take your payment and make change for you right at your table rather than needing to retrieve your change from a cash register. At this same eatery, the server would need to take one's payment card -upfront- to the register's area to process the payment there, then they would be required to have the payer sign the payment receipt for authorization. Hence, cash can be faster than a card in some situations, and yes, I am aware that systems are being implemented which provides the server the capability of processing a card payment right at the payer's table. Nonetheless, I do not see cards as being that much faster over cash, and when one considers real time payment, they are not. As soon as one spends their cash, it is gone, but when one pays with a card, the amount of payment is not always deducted from one's account immediately. .. sometimes not even reflected in one's balance for a day or two. One can not spend cash they do not have, but one can spend digital (card) money that they think they possess when they do not. Then there's the issue of the narrator also applying the attribute of convenience to cards. I realize the narrator is attempting to illustrate the negatives aspects of living in a cashless society, and in order to reach as many people as possible, he wants to appear as fair as possible when presenting both sides of the issue, but I feel his efforts to remain as fair as possible has hyperbolized the speed of using cards, and also the convenience of doing so. Is cash truly that inconvenient? Do you often carry a wad of bills around with you that is thicker than two or three payment cards, or perhaps even more? Bills are bendable, and foldable, cards are not. Perhaps it is the change that accumulates in your pocket, purse, or vehicle's drink carrier or ashtray that you might find inconvenient. If that is really a burdening inconvenience to someone, then they must live an incredibly posh and comfortable life. Some use the accumulation of change as a successful means of saving money. They accumulate change throughout the day, never spending any of it, and upon arriving at home, they toss the coins into a savings jar, piggy bank, or what have you. .. and after some time, they cash it in for bills. This method may sound like more work, and by no means convenient, but for some people who can not save any of their money in any account, even a savings account, this is the only method that has worked for them when it comes to saving any amount of money.

Years ago, way before computer technology became mainstream, when I read about the Mark of the Beast in Revelation it was totally puzzling to me. How could the anti Christ keep track of all the buying and selling in the whole world and thus forbid business transactions to those who didn't have the Mark of the Beast? -
Out of his own mouth on You Tube you can hear Bill Gates saying he wants everyone in the world to have his vaccine, plus an implantable microchip with a tattoo to show where it can be scanned, before they can buy or sell. Two popular places for implantable micro chips are on the hand and forehead, right where we see the Mark is placed per Revelation 13. -
For Biblical reasons, I do not believe Bill Gates is the anti Christ or that his microchip is the Mark. (Though I ain't taking any vaccine from the totally corrupt pharmaceutical industry) But I sure feel they are precursors. The time is so short.

When you carry cash they can-t trace you or find your location or your next movement a cashless society will make some things obsolete like no more under the table jobs the ATM machines will be gone the treasury and the mint will be obsolete cause they stop printing money around Christmas time you won-t see the bell ringers of the Salvation Army collecting donations if you have cash you will be cash discriminated by store owners and you will be turned away cause they won-t accept your cash so now you will starve or cant buy things that you need to survive.

I think this is huge violation of basic human right to own property (I may freely and legitimately decide I want to pay a 20. 000$ transaction in cash) and a totalitarianism (now we will wantonly and capriciously decide if you will be able to dispose with your wealth and groundlessly, randomly and unpredictably ban you from doing so at our will and discretion. I think Australia is therefore a totalitarian country already and I feel contempt towards the Australian government.

CASH means the government can't -turn you off- like they just did with the protestors in Canada.
CASH is PRIVACY and FREEDOM. That is why governments want to do away with it, they will tell you it is for a whole bunch of reasons to make your life better, but that is the real underlying reason, CONTROL.

Whatever this guy says. We are not 100% cashless in sweden and we do use cash transfer apps. But you can still use cash in 95% of places were you would otherwise use card. Such as buying a public transport ticket or paying your drug dealer. Those things can still both be done in cash.

You missed out on a major point at around 3: 30 where it wasn't plainly a move against cash, as different Rupees 500 and 2000 notes were introduced. Did you even research at any depth or just sum up the first 5 news articles of the elitist mainstream news on a -Google- search?

Cashless payments are the future. It just makes more sense and are easier and more convients.
BUT it must be private decentralized currency like Monero. Fun fact, I have seen busineses accept cryprocurrencies in my country.

The simple solution to the sociopaths forcing humanity onto a cashless society is THE PEOPLE making their own cash systems, thus destroying the sociopath's control, power and chokehold on humanity.
