As physical currency around the world is increasingly phased out, the era where “cash is king” seems to be coming to an end. Countries like Indiaand South Korea have chosen to limit access to physical money by law, and others are beginning to test digital blockchains for their central banks.

The war on cash isn’t going to be waged overnight, and showdowns will continue in any country where citizens turn to alternatives like precious metals or decentralized cryptocurrencies. Although this transition may feel like a natural progression into the digital age, the real motivation to go cashless is downright sinister.


The unprecedented collusion between governments and central banks that occurred in 2008 led to bailoutszero percent interest rates and quantitative easing on a scale never before seen in history. Those decisions, which were made under duress and in closed-door meetings, set the stage for this inevitable demise of paper money.

"Well, I was cooking for a customer, and we got a big jolt and he goes earthquake and I said, 'Yeah, it's a good one.' And I was next to the sink and I had it full of dishes and you could hear the dishes at the bottom of the sink clink together, clink, clink, clink, clink,, and the floor was rolling," Poppa Joe's Café employee Patricia Galbraith said.
