There’s a post going about social media about how going “all cashless” is a bad thing.

Well, It Depends™ on what you “switch” to.. all digital credit (ADC) or a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin (BTC).

With all digital credit, payments can be delayed, returned, held, returned, or even reversed.

With BTC once any amount is sent to a bitcoin address, it CANNOT be undone, reversed, or changed.
No bounced checks!
No overdrafts/returns!
No more “Check’s in the mail“!
