Bitcoin is more damaging to surveillance than helpful. Cash is being phased every year.

The $10,000 limit in the USA was established in 1970, I guarantee it won’t be adjusted for inflation.

Nah. The blockchain is forever and there are all these breadcrumb producing onramps.

Its probably a lot easier to do a better job of covering your tracks with cash than with bitcoin.

Absolutely but the point I’m making is that I don’t see cash existing in the near future.

The cash economy is huge though. Probably not as visible as if you are more wealthy perhaps and frequent more upscale businesses, but at least in socal there are many many businesses that work on a cash only basis for a variety of reasons.

Truth, of interest
