    That’s the thing though. No one is talking about going cashless - there’s just a general anxiety that because no one uses cash governments will discontinue it.

    I’m not arguing that cash should be discontinued, merely that this odd grandma argument isn’t really an argument in favour of the use of cash generally.

      Well, people are, you maybe not, me definitely not, “important people” maybe not, but people indeed are. Just scroll back through this thread, you’ll see em. Maybe they added their comments after you or something.

      And imo this odd grandma argument is a good example, because I lived it I guess.
