Welcoming a cashless society, or not?

If I'm still able, and when the time draws near, I will go out and rebury what I have recovered. Nope,, no maps.

Bury it in all in your yard and only will metal detectors to family.

The money changers are still in operation. They want a form of exchange that won't fly off their tables everytime Christ comes through in a tizzy.

I wonder who owns these companies?

.... you will neither be able to buy nor sell".. ....

And to think that as recently as 50-ish years ago, that saying made almost no sense. It was thought to be "symbolic" or .... various attempts to explain it. But now .... strangely, yes: We are entering into a cashless society, where that old saying can have a literal meaning. Kinda eerie !

Even if all coins ceased tomorrow, with research there will be enough areas to keep metal detector enthusiasts busy for several lifetimes. -- Just look at hard-hit civil war sites that still produce today.

Then there is jewelry... As long as it exists, there will be those who detect for it.

Caches; as long as there is something of value that has metal content, there will be something to search for.

Meteorites; if you've ever flown anywhere over the western USA you will quickly realize just how much land there is out there to search.

Native gold; even the hardest hit nugget areas still produce.

You get the idea... I seriously doubt that metal detecting as a hobby will cease in the next 100-200 years. It may drop off to a small core, but it has always had ups and downs, usually in tune with gold and silver prices. (And a few reality TV shows in recent years.)

Yep they ruined it for future generations. This is a hobby which will die out completely in the next 10-20 years. Unless the price of rusted iron and aluminum goes through the roof.

..No the old timers did not ruin it .. What ruined it is all the new ones out here detecting any one that came in after 2000 is a new B to me..

If ya gonna go cashless, I'd opt for a *privacy* cryptocurrency coin like Monero, where sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden. Unlike Bitcoin where the all that info is on the public ledger. (but Feds hate that more then cash)

I like all things futuristic, like a cashless society, robotics, artificial intelligence and posthumanism (going beyond human). In stead of being paid in cash we could get paid in UNITS. Things would cost X amount of units. Of course you would have to be in the system. LOL Most of us older folks won't be around to see it all kick-in.

Dollars, Rubles, Dinar, Francs, etc are all just units with fancy names.
