The lesson never started SP

Show me where I said obliged ?? Which  businesses accept only Crypto ?? 
What’s up anyway SP last night you were all for fighting the good fight and defending people wanting to be whatever they wanted to be, tonight you seem to have reverted to nippy bitch mode, attempting to make a point over the use of cash, statistically it’s the older generation or those with less who use it “ not crypto”. Not a very sympathetic attitude you are putting out. Or is it just the fact it was me who posted it 😂. My own opinion is that cash if tendered should be accepted. 

I am a firm believer in cash, I like to have a wedge of it in my pocket. Crypto currencies are good for buying things online as there is no middleman, at all.

 

There are some online pharmacies that will only accept crypto based payments. 

 

Blockchain technology is here and established whether you like it or not.

Is that what you say JohnsonD?

 

Relentless attempts at political point scoring. Or it could be that your posts are a reflection of your astonishment of how the world works because you've been living 50+ years with your head firmly planted up your own hole. Not sure which it is.

 

Businesses not obliged to use cash has always been a thing.. I am guessing the only reason you mention it is trying make a political point... but forgetting that ALL previous governments have similarly not enforced that as a law. A child like attempt at political point scoring, do be a good chap and try better

I like to keep a healthy thickness of cash on me as well, but more of a just in case of a technology absence or failure. I prefer card due to ease. I always offer the merchant the choice of cash or card, if it's a small company or trader, sod them if it's a big company. I'm often surprised how many choose card over cash, roughly half i'd estimate. Even the weekly fish delivery man wants card, he's got one of those mobile readers.

 

I'm starting to feel out-of-date even by using a card. A lot of people around me just use their phones these days. That's a step too far for now.

Well I don’t use online pharmacies and have no idea or wish to know what blockchain technology is. So cash all the way.

Fill yer boots:
You might as well get used to it as it's here and it's useful. I will eat my hat if blockchain technology isn't being utilised in your sector by 2026.

• Food safety: Walmart uses blockchain to trace the origin and journey of food products2.
• Anti-counterfeiting: Companies like Chronicled utilize blockchain to verify the authenticity of pharmaceuticals2.
• Logistics optimization: VeChain integrates blockchain for supply chain optimization2.

Healthcare

• Secure patient data management: Blockchain encrypts and securely stores sensitive patient information1.
• Credential verification: Learning Machine uses blockchain for secure issuance of digital diplomas2.

Government and Voting

• Digital infrastructure: By 2025, government adoption of blockchain is projected to reach 90%7.
• Secure digital voting: Blockchain creates immutable records of every vote, enhancing trust in election results1.

Real Estate

• Property transactions: Propy uses blockchain for secure and transparent real estate transactions2.
• Land registries: Countries like Georgia and Sweden use blockchain to manage land registries5.

Mark I could be getting paid by blockchain or mushroom’s at some point as long as what goes into my account is pounds sterling I really don’t care or feel the need to know anything about it. How will I get used to it ??? Will Joe average on the high street ever know the difference between blockchain and whatever is or has been used previously 🤔 “ or jill if he chooses to identify as such”. Lot to be said for some good old fashioned face to face cash dealings way back when.
