I was wondering... how much does a credit company know if I pay with my cc? Do they know every detail of my lunch menu? If so, that does have something to do with privacy, I'm not very comfortable. If they just know the total amount I pay, then I wouldn't mind too much, though.

They would only know things like location, time , amount. With this data you can build a pretty comprehensive profile about your whole life.

Good. "Fight against the cashless society!" is a bit weird motto, coming from Monero supporter, though...

If we could have physical Monero cash I would be for it. I am for any honest form of money, blockchain is just the easiest way to accomplish this without the state being able to stop it.

I really don't like cash.

It's just too vulnerable to theft and robbery.

I think Monero is better than cash. Would love to see that get more use in these kind of settings.

Cash still should always be an option. Many people do not have access to anything but cash.

Why is this so heavily down-voted in monero.town of all places?...
