IS CASHLESS COMING TO THE USA??

Over the past few months we have all heard numerous reports on a “cashless” society.

It is clear that what has taken place in India, Austrailia, and other countries will eventually lead to our doorstep. Some banks in the US have already begun setting up “cashless” sites in larger cities. There seems to be a big push for this around the world.

Even on TV and social media we are seeing ads for quick pay, simply by swiping your smart phone you can pay at the register. There are even rumors of eventually being able to walk into a store and as soon as you take an item of the shelf it subtracts it from your bank account on the fly. This is truly concerning when you consider the type of control and security issues that this may lead to.

REAL WORLD ISSUES

In todays society the threat of identity theft or someone hacking into accounts is a real issue. Imagine if the only wealth you had was on a server, in digital form, and someone hacks it. Everything you work for or have saved can be gone in an instant. That is what a “cashless” society would be facing. At this point in some of the affected countries nothing can be bought for over $10 cash.

This means everything we purchase would be on record somewhere at all times.

 BIBLICAL ISSUES

There is also the debate that this will bring upon the “mark of the beast’ in the form of an implanted chip. This is very possible and frightening. You would not be able to do, buy, or sell anything without this biometric chip. There is also the fact that if you are caught breaking the law or in some countries found to incite violence, dissent, or dissagreement with the wrong people your chip could be “turned off.” Meaning travel restrictions, you wouldn’t be able to buy food, or access any public system requiring your chip to work.

I got into a philosopical argument just the other day about the implanted chip issue. My coworker said ” That will never happen, My family and I would never take that chip.” I calmly asked him “what if it came down to feeding your kids?” Then I had him take out his bank card, and pointed out the chip to him.

My response was clear. Not only is this a possible future, it has already happened and is now growing. This is an issue we all need to monitor and be aware of.
