The U.S. is also racing toward a cashless economy, but the risks are clear:
From power outages to trading freezes, the message is undeniable: when cash and control
over your assets disappear, so does your financial independence.
Yankee Stadium’s Reverse ATMs: Cash isn’t accepted at venues like Yankee
Stadium. Instead, patrons must use reverse ATMs that charge fees to convert cash
into prepaid cards, making consumers pay extra for their own money.
Hurricane Sandy (2012): During power outages across the East Coast, electronic
payments were useless. Only those with cash could purchase food, water, and other
necessities, leaving others powerless.
Visa Outage (2018): A system-wide crash left millions of Americans unable to pay
for groceries, gas, or meals. Businesses lost revenue, and panic rippled through
communities.
Robinhood Trading Freeze (2021): When platforms locked investors out of buying
stocks like GameStop, it exposed a harsh truth: digital assets—whether money or
stocks—can be restricted in an instant, leaving you with no control.
Banking App Failures (2024): In March of 2024, widespread outages locked millions
out of their bank accounts. With no way to transfer funds or pay bills, the fragility of a
cashless system was on full display.
