Cash-less society.

...what a drag that'll be. And it'll be.
-you cant build that deck for your neighbor in cash. -you cant buy drugs in cash. -you cant borrow $50 in cash from your buddy. -your debit card won't swipe at the gas station..and they don't take cash anymore.
A cash-less society would simply suck!
My point is...could any of you guys fathom NO cash in your wallet? Or for that matter NO coins in your pocket.
Hey baby...i got like 513 credits on my card...

No problem. I hardly use cash on a daily basis anyway, and if it does go away there's always gold silver and to barter with for off the record transactions.

Haha, yeah how would you buy drugs?
Guess it would be back to the barter system... "Can I suck your dick for some crack?"
Although that probably already happens frequently.

When there is a cash less society, it'd be so easy to prohibit someone from buying anything.
"You are not authorised to purchase gold" "You have exceeded your monthly fuel/energy allowance" "You are on the (terrorist/criminal/sex offender/climate criminal) database, your account is frozen."
A cash less society is the perfect tool for controlling the masses. On the plus side, mugging for cash will cease, whilst mugging for anything of value will skyrocket.

FUCK THAT the world would be BEAUTIFUL & NATURAL with no money fuck money,money isnt SHIT..the paper isnt worth a damn thing its the GOLD STOCK in some fucking bank somewhere
either way, a world of TRADE is a lot better than a world of money leaving no JOBS, building everything for yourself growing your own crop stitching your own loincloth i mean eventually,if man kind sticks around long enough.. everything will be over prised there will be no need for money at all & shits just gonna turn out that way anyway and I FUCKING WISH we could just quit the bullshit,& live it naturally now.

It's not that there would be no money, it just would all be digital. And what gold stock? Our money isn't backed by any commodity.
I think the best thing would be having honest money so that the government can't keep raping us with inflation.

A barter system would completely destroy millions of peoples livelihoods (including my own). I was a pizza driver... in your system I would get paid in pizzas and tipped in random trinkets, then have to trade that stuff for gas and rent before it spoils? Now Im a tutor... what would the college pay me with? Education? 
I hope you barter people are kidding because, seriously even little kids know better than this...

I think they mean because of the greed it creates. Instead of just getting what you need to survive, you're compelled to collect as much wealth as you can. That wouldn't be as easy or desireable to do using a barter system instead of money.
