Interesting converstaion.

Digital currencies is all fine and that but what happens if the switch was flipped by the Government and the internet was turned off for whatever reason they deemed fit.

Digital transactions and their increasingly rapid integration into our day to day lives leads us down a path where there will be no hands on currencies (cash)

Then at that point the banks/governments have you by the balls.

If you have no means of holding in your hands cash then they are free to manipulate it as they want.

Negative interest for example.

Perhaps we should all go back to hoarding Gold, I see Germany has been piling it up recently.
