The Digital Cage Disguised as Convenience
Imagine waking up to discover that every dollar in your pocket has been declared obsolete overnight. For millions of Indians in 2016, this wasn't a thought experiment but reality when their government suddenly invalidated certain banknotes. This wasn't an isolated incident but part of a coordinated global campaign against physical currency. Cash isn't dying naturally-it's being systematically eliminated by powerful interests who benefit from its disappearance. Banks save money on branches and ATMs while gaining complete transaction visibility. Payment processors like Visa and Mastercard eliminate their main competitor. Fintech companies secure captive customers for their apps. Governments gain unprecedented surveillance capabilities. Together, these forces frame cash users as backward while portraying digital payments as inevitable progress rather than a calculated power grab. The pandemic accelerated this shift when retailers began refusing cash based on unfounded virus transmission fears, despite scientific evidence showing minimal risk. What's at stake isn't just payment convenience but fundamental economic freedom-the ability to transact without permission, surveillance, or corporate intermediaries.
