Digital payment methods are on the rise worldwide, and despite their love of cash, Germans are also
increasingly making contactless and mobile payments.
At the same time, the use of cash is becoming increasingly difficult.
Its use is restricted to combat money laundering and crime, among other things.
Banks are also reducing their ATMs and stores are restricting cash payments, while at the same time more and more digital
payment systems are being introduced in the name of progress.
As an important component of payment transactions, cash is essential for the functioning of our society.
The vulnerability of purely digital payment systems was recently vividly demonstrated by the faulty Windows update.
One such update was enough to paralyze millions of PCs worldwide and thus entire airports, authorities and even banks.
Cash, on the other hand, ensures that payment transactions function securely and independently even
in the event of technical or digital disruptions.
In addition, cash allows anonymous payment, protects against commercial surveillance and is easy
for anyone to use without any technical hurdles.
In this sense, cash is also printed freedom.
In a nutshell, you could say that if we didn't already have cash, now would be the time to invent it.
But what are the underlying causes of the one-sided and strong trend away from cash - despite the dangers mentioned?
According to German business journalist Norbert Häring, this development is no coincidence.
In his opinion, there is a huge international network behind this, at the center of which, significantly, are
organizations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the World Bank, the IMF and thus the global financial mafia.
It certainly does not use its power to make it easy and convenient for people to pay!
As shown, for example, in the program "Digital central bank money - the end of freedom!" , these circles are in the
process of setting up new digital payment systems worldwide.
However, cash still stands in the way of this implementation.
However, you can see from numerous examples below that plans to implement purely digital payment systems often fail.
This is because many people intuitively reject digital payment systems.
They therefore held on to cash - no matter what the cost - and ultimately brought down a new digital payment system.
At the same time, the weaknesses of such payment systems are also becoming apparent, e.g. as a result of IT breakdowns.
As a result, and due to the hostile attitude of entire sections of the population, governments suddenly changed
their cash policy and, for example, enshrined the right to pay in cash in their constitution from scratch.
Here are some very encouraging examples:
1. cashierless stores close due to lack of customers
Cashierless supermarkets promise shopping in passing without the hassle of waiting at the checkout.
The pioneer of this system is the online giant Amazon, which made headlines years ago with its cashierless "Amazon Go" stores.
This payment model works via video surveillance with facial recognition.
Customers' every movement is monitored by countless cameras and sensors.
The systems automatically recognize which goods the buyer is taking.
By checking in and out via smartphone at the store entrance, the video surveillance system then links the purchase to the
account holder and automatically debits the calculated amount.
This involves collecting countless biometric data and information about each individual customer, making them not only transparent
in the truest sense of the word, but also predictable.
In addition to the many data protection problems associated with this technology, there is
also the risk of individual price manipulation.
For example, the price of "frozen pizza" can be raised for singles at the weekend.
However, many people obviously see through this system and intuitively avoid such supermarkets.
Amazon has announced that six such stores will be closed due to a lack of customers.
This shows how each individual can contribute to stopping such systems of rampant surveillance and digitalization.
2. governments strengthen cash acceptance
Contrary to the global agenda to abolish cash, the Norwegian government wants to give those who do not want to
use digital payment options security so that they can continue to pay for goods and services with cash.
The Minister of Justice and Public Security, Emilie Enger Mehl, explains that a fully digital payment system can also lead to a
complete shutdown of the economy in the event of a crisis: 'A purely electronic payment increases the vulnerability of society.
Cash must therefore remain available in the event of a crisis.
A law should therefore ensure that all goods and services can continue to be paid for in cash.
There are similar efforts in several European countries:
In Slovakia, the right to pay in cash was enshrined in the constitution in 2023.
In Italy, various anti-cash measures were ended in the face of resistance from the EU Commission and the upper limit for cash
payments was raised from € 2,000 to € 5,000 on January 1, 2023.
In Sweden, the government even wants to restore the cash level of 2017 by law and make it binding for the future.
As a former stronghold of cashlessness, this means a huge turnaround in monetary policy for Sweden.
This shows that the fight against the abolition of cash is far from lost and that the tide can turn
quickly if people persevere in holding on to cash.
3. cash abolition in Nigeria fails resoundingly
According to the German business journalist Norbert Häring, Nigeria is a favorite guinea
pig of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
According to Häring, many things are being implemented and tried out in Nigeria to bring
populations under total automated surveillance.
For example, the eNaira, Africa's first digital central bank currency, was introduced
there in October 2021 to end the use of cash.
However, acceptance of the eNaira among the population was so low that one year after its introduction, only less than
0.5% of Nigeria's inhabitants had accepted this new currency.
In order to force the population to accept it, Godwin Emefiele, a vehement opponent of cash and governor of the Central Bank
of Nigeria, withdrew large amounts of cash from circulation.
He also introduced daily withdrawal limits for cash, which caused existential hardship for many millions of Nigerians
and led to a massive slump in sales for many companies.
But the Nigerian population remained steadfast, which ultimately set the courts in motion.
On March 3, 2023, Nigeria's Supreme Court finally upheld a lawsuit against the central bank's monetary
policy, forcing it to halt its plans to abolish cash.
At the next election, a new president was elected, who then removed Godwin Emefiele from office.
Emefiele was arrested shortly afterwards and is now charged with abuse of office amounting to 4.5
billion and fraud amounting to 2.8 billion dollars.
According to geopolitical analyst Nick Giambruno, the rejection of the eNaira was a symbol of the
Nigerian people's deep mistrust of the ruling elites.
The success of their concentrated resistance is also an extremely impressive prime example of the
enormous forces that a people can unleash when they are one.
All these examples clearly show that nothing is impossible.
All the bad developments, including the abolition of cash, can still be stopped!
The key is for the population to see through the evil plans of the global string-pullers.
From this then arises the unity in resistance that must inevitably lead to the failure of the evil machinations
and to the positive changes that everyone longs for.
Education is therefore the order of the day!
Only those who see through the evil plans of the string-pullers in the background will not fall for their lies.
Let's use the time, because it's not too late!
