Re: <nettime> In Praise of Cash 


This stuff needs to be repeated over and over again.
Just to mention the latest, and perhaps the most insidious entry in the war on cash: Bitcoin, all-transactions-always-public PoW hash system operated mostly by Chinese mints, touted to post-New Agers as the Next Big Thing.
The unique aspect of Bitcoin is that it represents a merger of two ideologies - one well described in the subject essay, and the other being California model of centralized-everything through middlemen apps, where middlemen middle between myriad aspects of the human existence on one side, and a single-digit number of fascistic monopolies on the other side.
