Yes, and I think when they're ready to do it, it will happen all at once, without warning, and without going back. Like in Canada when the penny was killed in 2012. One day they made the announcement, and the next day you couldn't find any pennies anywhere, not in cash registers, not from the bank, nothing. Within a few months none existed except in coin collections. I was shocked how sudden it was, and I'm certain it was done that way on purpose. When they're certain enough of us will acquiesce to a cashless world, they'll snap their fingers and it'll be in place within days.

"it will happen all at once, without warning"
+1 for this

and it's sad how a handful of old elite billionaires call the shots on the future of the larger population.
