We need cash but these are just silly reasons and hurt the idea more than they help

Debit is cash but

We can tap for yard sales and homeless people

People include gift cards in birthday cards or etransfer

You could do that for your child’s teeth

Oh no, what will i do without a ceramic pig

Last 4 points I’m sure you can figure out also aren’t true

And if you’re worried about being tracked then surely you don’t use a phone/go online/appear in public
