Thanks @spiritualmax for an informative post. Firstly I have to declare that I know very little about crypto-currency, I'm new to Steemit, so I hope you will forgive my ignorance. However I think it is absolutely vital that we maintain cash of some description. It seems likely to me that we are moving towards a cashless society but one that continues central control of the monetary system. There will undoubtedly be some form of government backed 'Fedcoin' type currency in the near future. The purpose will be to ensure that the blockchain currencies become centrally controlled and I anticipate legislation will soon be forthcoming to build that currency (and possibly outlaw others.) Therefore, in my currently uninformed opinion, I think some form of cash will be vital in the struggle to establish decentralised, voluntary exchange and continue to fight the bankster hegemony. All the best.

I think we'll have a gadget of sorts that serves as the cash... swipe, done paid... much like cards, but on steroids.
Probably something of the sort. But I'm a big advocate of counter economics. While block chain technology offers that possibility in a digital form if legislation is passed which dictates which crypto can be used as legal tender, and I reckon that's a strong possibility, counter economics is going to be a real problem without some form of cash to exchange. Honestly I don't know enough about it yet but am very interested in finding out more.
