In Wim Wenders's insufferably long (and perhaps thus ironically named) 1991 film "Until the End of the World", there's a scene where the two protagonists, Sam and Claire, are attempting to purchase a used car from a used-car salesman, named Bernie: Bernie: Alright, somebody just show me some plastic, and we all go home, huh? Sam: No, no, no, no, no, there's not going to be any plastic, because we got cash. Bernie: Hey, don't be [a jerk], okay? Claire: Don't call him [a jerk]. Bernie: I'll call him anything I want, Ma'moiselle. Sam: No, no, you won't. I want this car, and I want to pay cash. Bernie: No-one wants cash. Who wants cash? Bernie doesn't want cash. Sam: Well, I want to pay cash. Bernie: Hey, you give me cash, you put me in jeopardy. Oh, no! No! You risk my life! You give me cash, someone puts a knife in my back. They cut me open, they leave me bleeding. // And then, of course, as if to prove his point, Bernie the salesman pulls out a gun from his coat pocket, and he robs Sam and Claire of all their multiple thousands of dollars in cash.

I make a point at restaurants to always tip the waitstaff in cash even if the house gets paid with a credit card. I leave it to them to decide if they want to share their tips with Big Brother.

Stop trading. Start sharing. Watch the wheels of the machine falling off.

Pre-65 US silver coins are dirt cheap right now. I'm stocking up!

"Barter, trade, use cryptocurrency, use cash, anything that keeps your transaction between you and the person you're transacting with."

I have used cash wherever possible for at least a year now. Once you get in the habit, it's easy to maintain. I do a big shop every two or three months (supermarket etc.) and make a cash withdrawal from my bank beforehand as part of the routine.
