That’s how 99% of money already is. Most transactions are also handled digitally even if there’s physical currency.

When the power goes out, 100% of transactions will be physical. Not to mention the barrier to entry. Good luck being homeless and having to jump to 20 more hoops to use money. Purely digital money is such a bad idea.

This is true, but also the alternative in a state that allows any digital transactions is corporate control. So if there is to be any digital transactions, and money is just numbers on paper or a computer anyways nowadays, it’s better to have it centralized under a commie-run government than the capitalists.

This is something capitalists would not adequately plan for. I have the utmost faith that China will address this possibility in a strategic logical way
