Wallet in a cashless society? Are you stuck in the early 2000's?

Now, cashless means Phones+NFC, which means when your wallet, a.k.a your phone, gets stolen you get taken somewhere until you allow access to your phone and banking apps where there should be an easy 10~30k in savings + loans they can extract

People have savings? Sounds like the 90s.

You think people don't have and use credit and debit cards anymore? Really?

"Taking you somewhere" is far too much effort. They can just watch you enter your passcode on your phone in a bar, then swipe your phone from you and gain access to all your accounts.

Where you getting the 10k figure, and how many people do you know who would have thay on hand.

Here in Brazil most better-off people have access to that in easy-to-contract loans in banking apps like Nubank, etc

This scenario is of course impossible if you only carry cards or money 🤷

Banking app access ransom isn't the same as the good old ransom family for money, the risk/reward ratio is so much better
