Cash and goods are useful in areas without internet(lots of that around me sadly).
Strange, but in 3rd-world Rusiia, we have internet nearly everywhere, even in a village shop in the middle of taiga you could pay with bank card using shop's internet-connected terminal. And higly probably upstream will be optics line from nearest city, not even that shitty ADSL. Very few places is without internet, and even there you could use old geostationary satellite two-way terminal to get not very fast, but working good enough for banking internet.
It's not the first time when I hear about the problems with internet in US. What's wrong with US that it have problems with internet connection? Don't you have a lot of small internet providers that will happily pull the dirt cheap optics line to any place where could be a customer?
I find I can’t stand behind a system that has mysterious origins, players who manipulate values similar to the existing bullshit filled market, and currencies that have little applicable use in my neck of the woods.
Right now you are using internet, that has mysterious origins, players who manipulate not only values, but your mind and bells and whistles that have little applicable use in the woods. And seems that all that does not make you uncomfortable, and you easily use that system for your own good.
Technology can't be evil or good. Everything depends on how you use it. Any technology could be used for your own purposes regardless who create it and how it used by others. That's the thing that makes everything much more interesting even in our clown world.
