Denmark is pretty much only cards, but debit cards at this point, well above 80% for retail is card payments.

I normally have a few may 100 to 200DKK in my vallet, because the credit/debit card system do still fail. I haven't run into anything in the last few years where I could pay with card or mobile payment.

Between my debit card and Mobilepay, I haven't used cash in nearly 2 years living in Copenhagen so I finally ditched my leather bifold wallet and made a slim card holder out of an IKEA bag. It's only been a month or so, but so far no regrets.

It’s come to the point where I wouldn’t even think twice about ordering a hot dog in a stand with no cash on me. It’s 99.99% chance that they accept card, because if they didn’t they couldn’t sell a single hot dog as no one has cash.

Where exactly, because I've been to ask the Scandinavian countries in the past couple of years and I paid taxis with cash in all occasions

For everything else, yes, mostly cards

Well. yeah if you aren't using any app to get a taxi, maybe. Still 90% of Taxis in big cities take card for sure. Even the more sketchy ones have the card machine, but it always seems to "not work" when needed...
