Today I found out…somebody actually did that.
That is quite the effort. Good on them
I dont think so, It would be awesome though!
All in all i prefer cash over anything - I dont get why people pay much stuff via card. (yes its obvious more comortable then carrying all the heavy 100$ bills in your nasty dirty stinky wallet but common…)
it just creates a huuuuge Tracking Profile about you.
And that is owned by the bank.
the bank have to give info to the state organs (or even private companys)
there you have your #surveillance

Why? You can bet that if a cryptocurrency gets to be the standard, it will be surveilled and tracked the same way a normal bank account would be. The man won’t allow for an anonymous fiat to gain widespread acceptance

“The man won’t allow for an anonymous fiat to gain widespread acceptance”
“We’ll be using some cryptocurrency in some years anyways so…”
I was thinking of a Revolution of the whole finance system.
not just a change of the system how the banks move their money, and that…
People should be their own Bank.
not very likely but a good goal to hope for and work towards.
A switch of the banks to Crypro would in principle not change or move anything…
I sure hope we don’t switch to crypto as a currency method at any scale until we find a reliable way to sequester all the carbon that mining it creates.

Well, thats a huge amount of energy. given that its not used for everyday transaction of a big % of the population.
The people that do a lot of transactions are really few…
Imagine that getting mass adopted
The be your own bank stuff:
imagine everyone gets their mony directly on their personal wallet. not controled by any bank.
banks would be obsolete^
Most of this energy is consumed by mining.

Banks do a lot more than just store your money

Bot the Banks go a long with it/ support that!
The “Deutsche Bank” for example invested 1,8 billions in over 7 arms companys(2015-2017).
And the Fucking arms companys from germany are direct exporters to the war zones.
so its NOT “a countrys/corpo business”
And thats not just this one bank that is doing that…

Financing war is not the same as profiting from war. Still, lending money to someone who is buying weapons is financing a war. Both are horrible, but at different scales.
Regardless, as long es there is money, there will be banks or some other equivalent institutions holding capital and lending. Anything else is but a pipe dream

So you are saying that if somebody finances war they re not profiting from it?
They do that for the Profit
You can directly spend money or loan money to arm someone - i.e. finance a war. You can hold stakes in an arms company and thus indirectly sell weapon - thus profiting from a war. Or you can do both, which some probably do

Wirhdrawing cash and using it in the store doesn’t (might not) work tho, supermarkets know what you bought and the notes you bought it with and could easily give the bank both, which also knows the notes you got. I believe supermarkets are known to sell data about ppl, I guess it’s normal for any larger chain. And avoiding that by getting large notes split by small purchases in small stores is probably kinda like washing money and idk… I believe that the € is tracable and act like that. #Monero
