    I get your point, but if your government is already screwing up the economy - hoarding physical cash is no better. See African countries and India’s 2016 cash crisis: massive queues at the bank for worthless paper.

      It’s not about hoarding cash. It’s about privacy and surveillance. Cash is the only truly anonymous means of payment.
