Sure seems like you’re not a member of society if you don’t have a cell phone. Lots of entities won’t deal with you if you don’t have one. I think they’ll try to phase the CBDC regime in slowly. Cash will be allowed alongside it but then made more and more inconvenient and then some stores won’t accept cash … and it will get squeezed out. That would be a giant nightmare!
Most younger people seem comfortable with using no cash at all.
