It's not bad at all to be engaged in a cashless society. Nowadays with the mobile networks upgraded and the subscribed package fee dropped, people can pay for everything wherever there is a QR code. If it becomes reality that being cashless prevails, it also saves resources and energy. Everyone's money seems digitized, from a bank account and personal wallet, however cash will still exist and play an important role in our life. Maybe in the future everything will be digitized like what's depicted in those Hollywood blockbusters. Cash will withdraw from our life eventually. Maybe in the future human beings will go back to their original trading style, things in exchange for things.
