Digital I.D

[Neath_Jack]

True, I'd rather lose 30 quid cash, than my phone. I think you know where I'm coming from though.

I don’t no, do you shop online? Got your bank card on your phone? It’s already happening or has happened. I know there are some folk out there that don’t shop online or have their bank details on their phones, but I’d imagine the number is relatively small to those that do.

Nobody likes change, but it mostly happens anyway.

Only other place for me is the hand carwash, the Albanians haven't gone digital yet.

Ah yeah I forgot about there

But I will say this one is very contentious.

This thread triggered me in to remembering to draw cash out tomorrow. The car needs a wash

Only tended to use cash when getting a taxi. Since the introduction of Uber that's gone out of the window.

How cheap is Uber though! Fantastic

The devil will be in the detail here. As we all know, our digital footprint is already everywhere and I’m familiar with some of the safeguards that will underpin this if it happens and they are very, very strict. This should be welcomed by the patriots who are most vocal about who lives, works and access services here. It won’t be though. I reserve judgement for now.

That’s not the sort of place to go contactless for a number of reasons.

BOGOF for cash in there it was. Apparently

Game changer for Swansea.

This thread just shows how resigned we are to Corporate control.

Im instinctively against this but the World has moved on (sadly) the fusion of State and Corporate control is now pretty much complete.

I’m not a luddite but for me the pace is leading to a loss of control and freedom. I like to help micro businesses with cash if I can. I also think it’s essential for elderly people.

Soon our lives will all be controlled by that little thing in our pockets. I society is poorer for it personally.

I found a £10 note on the pavement last Sunday. Is there a digital equivalent?

You could try exchanging it for goods and/or services. It may catch on.

The patriots seem to be the ones most against it on twits. All about the government controlling where we go and what we spend our money on.

They’ll be back to shouting at hotels soon enough though.
