- unimpressive 14y agoWhy is this being downvoted? Besides the "reliable" typo geezer makes a good point. Cash doesn't require electricity, or run out of batteries, or require an Internet connection, nor can it be cracked/hacked/etc. From a pure usability standpoint, cash would seem to be the more convenient option. (I'd rather be robbed of my wallet than forced to make large transactions out of my Networked bank account.)
