No dip$#@!, no we do NOT want a $#@!ing cashless society.Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan embraced the digital money movement on Wednesday, saying his firm has "more to gain than anybody" from the booming trend of non-cash transactions. "We want a cashless society," Moynihan, who heads up the second largest U.S. bank, told attendees at Fortune's Brainstorm Finance conference. He pointed out that more than half of all money transactions are already processed electronically, with the rise of cryptocurrencies, and payment systems like PayPal, Zelle, and digital wallets. The banking sector has "already digitized," Moynihan said on Wednesday. "The business has moved digitally and it will continue to move that way. It's just figuring out how to add the value."
What I found to be somewhat interesting was the COMMENTS. Same as this place, changing constantly. What I did like was it seems most people are against it.
For those of you that are all for it, let me ask you this. Seriously. What do you do when the power goes out? Hurricane? Typhoon? Earthquake? Solar flare? Hell even a medium size tornado can knock out power to areas for long periods of time. So what do you do in a cashless society when the power is out for extended periods of time?
