As someone who worked in shops for many years, cash is disgusting and should be burned!
Think about how digital movies and games are routinely locked and blocked. Do you want the government to be able to do that to all of your liquid cash?
I get your point, but if your government is already screwing up the economy - hoarding physical cash is no better. See African countries and India's 2016 cash crisis: massive queues at the bank for worthless paper.
It's not about hoarding cash. It's about privacy and surveillance. Cash is the only truly anonymous means of payment.
