Dont think for a second that they aren't working overitme to eliminate cash. Look at how many businesses refused to accept it during COVID for "health" reasons. India actually DID eliminate it, briefly- but they jumped the gun on the technology and had to bring it back.
Big business hates cash because it costs them to keep it, pay someone to handle it, and deposit it. Banks hate it for the same reason. Government hates it because they can't track, tax, seize, or freeze it.
Financial freedom is anethma to the goals of the NWO, and cash IS freedom- so it must be destroyed.
