Remembering back, debit and credit cards were introduced. Employers started to pay their employees to their debit cards. Although cash was still the main medium for payment, because this was the first new payment option to choose to pay our expenses and for groceries. As decades passed by more and more people were using their debit and credit card to pay with and people got so used to it now.

The Rise Of The Cashless Society

In the last few years, things have changed. People are getting more comfortable with paying with their debit card, credit card, phones or apps instead of cash. This is a trend, that has been going on for quite some time now. It's not like we're trying to be rebellious here, but it's just what society as a whole is doing. We can't stop it though. We're all in this together after all. We've had enough of your "cash only" signs up at the gas pumps, we don't need them anymore! We don't need to count out all our change, either. We can just put it in the app or on our phone and BAM we're good to go.

Is it really what we want to do? It's not really up to us is it? You can't just make everyone go cashless. Nobody would be able to pay their bills or buy food! That's not how this economy works anymore. We still need to use some cash from time to time. We're not the only ones, are we? A movement has been going on for a while. It started with some large businesses asking their customers to go "cash free". Then it spread to some of the smaller businesses. Now it's everywhere and it doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon. The government doesn't seem to be against it either, which is scary. What kind of future are we creating for our children if we go along with this trend?

The Unknowable Future

What will the future bring? Will we live in a "cashless" society? Will we still use cash as a means of exchange? Will we still have a "traditional" economy? The world has changed and is continuing to change at a rapid pace. We can't really see into the future and won't know how things are going to play out. What we already know though is there is a tiny chip can be implanted under our skin to be able to pay for things what we wanted. Isn't it scary?

The technology is there, it's just a matter of time before it becomes the norm, rather than the exception. Already, many store aren't even accepting cash anymore. You can use your phone to pay for things, why waste the space in your pocket, that a wallet usually takes up when you can just use an app?

And if you're not using your phone, you're probably using card reader instead. Will this be the new way of life? How will it effect people, that aren't as technologically savvy? Or even savvy enough to know what's going on? All we know is these questions, and many more, will be answered in the future. We can't stop it now, or back pedal on the steps we've already taken. It's too late for that. The future has arrived and it is here to stay whether we like it or not. We are the future and we need to embrace it, even if some of us aren't exactly sure what it really means.

The Power Of Central Banks

The concept of "Central Banks" has been around for a long time. In some ways they are like "modern day kings" in that there is only one "King". There is no "Emperor" or "Empress", that any of the people can rally around. The rulers of this world are a bunch of self serving elitism, that have no care in the world for you. They don't care, if you live or die. They only care, that you obey their rules and pay your taxes.

They have been manipulating currency rates (and prices) for so long, that they practically own the world economy. The problem is they don't really have total control over it. They can only "manipulate" things to an extent before the system itself starts to correct itself. Stock markets around the world react positively or negatively to changes in the economy. The more "real" the economy is, the better the markets do.

There was a time, where the "Dollar" was the world's reserve currency, but that was a long time ago. You really want to know who runs the world? The people do. That's why we need to start thinking for ourselves. We can only do that though, if we know the "truth" about what is going on in the world.

The "truth" is actually pretty simple. The world is run by a small group of people that sit around discussing what is going on in the world and deciding on future plans. They discuss how to best improve their position of power over the people. They also create "memes", that become "common knowledge" like the conspiracy theories you've probably heard before.

The world is in a constant state of change and "revision". Sometimes a change is negative, but it's the only way to stay "alive". Nothing ever stays the same. The older a system, the more likely it is to be replaced or changed.

Banks In A Cashless Society

Think about how much your life has changed since the introduction of the credit card. It is accepted as payment for just about everything you do nowadays. In fact, you can't live without one. If you try to pay for something with cash, the merchant may accept it, but that's it. They are not going to accept cash as payment in the future. You won't be able to get ahold of your money at that point, if you're not careful.

Nobody ever expects the "bad times" to come. When they do come, it sucks. You lose all of your money. You can't get a job. You might even go to jail, if the government doesn't deem you a "threat". But what can you do? You were "warned" of this. You were told, that you needed a credit card to survive in the "modern age", but what does it really mean? It means that you have to "besides" everything else. You have to give up a large portion of your freedom in exchange for an "umbrella of safety".

Some people call them " advancements in technology". Others call them "social changes". Others still just call them necessary evil, that improve the quality of life for everyone. Maybe it's time you start thinking for yourself. As more and more people come to this realization, the "new world order" slowly begins to take shape. A one world government in theory under the guidance of the "powers that be" begins to form.

But it's a "theory" yet, as far as anyone knows. However, that doesn't mean it can't happen in real life. They've already got the plan set out for you.

How Can This Be Trusted?

The problem is, you can't be sure of anything. You've had your information "laundered" so much that it's practically the opposite these days. Market manipulation is a daily affair in the news now. The government itself is divided on whose "side" it should be on. In fact, US politicians have passed laws in favor of Bitcoin "getting out of control" and then being "put out of commission" as a way to combat it. They can't attack it directly, but they'll try anything.

The US government has been effectively put out of commission. It's practically at a stand still and is no longer a reliable source of information. You can't trust anything they say nowadays. The only thing you can do is arm yourself with the truth and make your own decisions. The "powers that be" will probably try to convince you, that you're brainwashed and ignorant.

They'll try to indoctrinate you with propaganda and lies. The only answer to this is to seek out other sources of information. When you're "outside the box" thinking, the truth will become clear. You're in the middle of the information war here, and you need to be alert at all times.

You just need your smartphone with you with other apps that use to pay in every store, isn't that cool. You don't need to bring your cash that is prone in snatching. But what if your phone is the one that got stolen. Hmm just saying haha

Being a cashless society is about being flexible, you can become stylish with advanced technology. However, this isn't everyone uses it or they don't have one. People with low income and living in poverty or people living in villages still use traditional cash. However, there is still a positive side. So, at least they keep physical currency still have value. I mean, the value of physical currency that printed by country government, remains a strong culture in traditional market.

The government don't care because they just don't care. They only care about the Taxes you pay.
