Cash Is King…Until It’s Banned

A [Now] Outdated Saying: Cash Is King

Call it what you want: ‘Central Bank Digital Currency’, ‘The Digital Dollar’, or ‘The Mark of the Beast’, it’s probably all going to be the same thing in the end.

I wrote about this Digital Dollar years ago. For the past two years, we continue to make small but increasingly obvious steps in that direction.

One way they are now doing this is by pricing out cash:

Want to Pay Cash? That’ll Cost You Extra

From ballpark hot dogs to parking tickets, more cash payments are coming with a fee

When Noa Khamallah recently tried to pay cash for popcorn and soda at Yankee Stadium, his almighty dollars struck out.

The stadium’s concession stands no longer take cash. An employee directed him to a kiosk that could convert his greenbacks into plastic. Khamallah, 41 years old, fed $200 into the reverse ATM, which subtracted a $3.50 fee and spat out a debit card with a balance of $196.50.

Paying for anything in New York is expensive already, said Khamallah, who lives in the city. “If you add on top of that extra fees for being able to pay for food, that’s not right,” he said.

Paying with cash used to be a way to get a discount. These days it can often cost an extra $1 to $6—the sort of transaction fees once limited to swiping a credit card or using an out-of-network ATM.

I personally just had a run-in with this a couple of weeks ago. Went to a farmer’s market in a nearby major city and they had signs everywhere saying “Cash not accepted” and “No cash on hand”. I was completely taken aback considering it was a farmer’s market, but apparently upon talking to some of the locals, the organizers decided to put this into practice because the stands were getting robbed, so it was “safer” to only use credit card swipes.

I don’t buy their excuse, but I also don’t doubt that they are getting robbed. It’s crazy how far our cities have been allowed to fall. But that’s probably a part of the plan, to increase the demand for digital dollars instead of physical cash.

If it is already happening at farmer’s markets, it’s going to show up everywhere. You all know that.

They’ll probably be a day in our lifetimes when stores won’t even accept paper money when our elites force the switch to the digital dollar. All of our hoarded Ben Franklins will be as worthless for transactions as gold was when the government banned it in 1933 by Executive Order 6102.

We’re all slowly being herded into the slaughterhouse, and hilariously the justification is because “it’s safer”. What an ironic comedy.
