I've started using cash again this year after like a decade using cards (and even a stint with my phone). Unfortunately crypto has failed as a realistic alternative so cash needs to survive until something else comes along.

My colleague was very big into crypto; he ended up with a VISA linked to his crypto wallet and was very proud that it “couldn’t be tracked”.

I think I broke his heart when I pointed out that the specific card number could be tracked every time he used it. The bank of the seller could see every time he used that card.
