Just move back to the gold standard and I'm not sure I care if we go cashless, I think...
I do like the idea of me being able to track my expenditures; however, that comes with everyone else tracking my expenditures. At some point, I guess I may tire of people knowing what I do...
Yes, one of the big potential dangers of a totally cashless system is the ability of the government/corporations to know and track everything you buy. Another big danger is the centralized control of the system and hypothetically all they have to do is "flip a switch" and disable your credit/debit card (or whatever other electronic system), and then you have no way to be able to purchase things. And they already do things like this in China in relation to many things -- if you are a dissident or have "politically correct" opinions at odds with the Chinese government, then the government disables your ability to travel, etc.
And, of course, if and whenever the "mark of the beast" is implemented in the future, it will likely work on such a cashless system. Otherwise, if there was still physical paper currency and coins, people would still be able to buy and sell without having to take the "mark" -- eg, on the "underground" system of buying things from neighbors, etc.
And now tie all this to what's going on with "Covid-19". They are already talking about making vaccines mandatory. You can already see the real possibility of them making a vaccine mandatory for you to be able to go back to school, to travel internationally or even across state borders, etc. And they are already making wearing a mask mandatory in order for you to be able to go into a store and purchase things.
So how big of a "step" is it for them to say that you have to have the vaccine in order to buy or sell in stores? If they were to implement such a policy, then how would they implement it at businesses? How would each person prove that they had taken the vaccine? Would you pull out a piece of paper from the health dept proving you were vaccinated each time you buy something? Unlikely. The most likely thing is that they would digitally tie your proof of vaccination to the electronic/digital cash system.
And maybe this new digital currency system would be a "mark" on your body (such as a tattoo). This is an extremely interesting little bit of information that many people are talking about -- Bill Gates' Microsoft applied for a patent in March of 2020 for a "cryptocurrency" that is somehow tied to and traced to each person's body. And guess what the patent number is for this patent? -- 060606. See here for official patent description:
WO/2020/060606Apparently, this cryptocurrency that is tied to your body is planned to be implemented through a tattoo on your skin.
HERE is an article on Microsoft's website talking about "smart tattoos" that can be used to store data and "can send signals to any device via touch".
