A lot of businesses these days don't accept cash, for various reasons. Having to fund and keep varied denominations of cash for change, burglary risk, extra time it takes, few people pay in cash, etc.
As for the palm thing, meh....there are conspiracy theorists every time new tech comes along.
If new technology is disturbing to someone, they can move to a small town. The stores in small towns can't afford new technology, so it's a step back in time somewhat. And cash is more accepted there.
I was reading online of someone working as a cashier 7 years ago and they had an option to use palm scanners or put a pin in. The supervisor pushed everyone to use the palm scanner. He was the only one that refused to use the scanner and used a pin when counting . Later on the store got rid of the scanners because the company was collecting DNA. Enough people might fight back from using this tech. Instead of moving have the people refuse to use technology that harms their privacy and in order to stay in business they will have to get rid of the scanners. You protest businesses or boycott any business that uses this device.
Just because you can use a technology does not mean you should. Lots of technologies have not taken off even though they came out.
When we go to full digital currency, how are you going to keep any emergency money at home, for "just in case".
How do you keep a "cookie jar" of digital currency?
What if the digital currency expires? China has a currency that expires . This will prevent people from saving lowering their purchasing power to become dependant on the state. We don't want all currency to go digital period. You would not be able to sell to a neighbor. It could prevent private sales. It is obvious it will take all the power away from the people and give it to the governments.

That is precisely what the government wants. Everything they want is in their best interest not ours. We are becoming cattle to be slaughtered. The goal is to bleed of dry of every red cent, and leave nothing for us.

I can't see why so many are blind to this obvious agenda. It's frustrating because so many people don't see it and they call people crazy or paranoid for who does see it. Corporations are working with government to accomplish this they are using businesses to take away our rights.

^Do you have *anything* to back up that claim, other than paranoid speculation?
Why can't we just jump to the devil's mark and skip the in between steps?
It has to be incremental if you go to fast before social conditioning way more people will reject it. Ever heard of the analogy of putting a frog in boiling water it jumps out right away. If you put the frog in cold water and slowly turn up the heat the frog does not realize it's being slowly boiled and never jumps out of the water.
Can't the devil get your DNA off of cash? Or what about the security cameras - can't the devil track people with those images?
I think the safest thing to do is to live deep in the woods, off-grid. The devil can't find you there. And don't give up your government name - that's just the tip of the iceberg.
P.S. And just remember - just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you!
I can't think of any reason where recording your palm is not crazy sounding for buying a bagel at Panera bread or some food at whole foods. We have cash and credit cards. Everything can be hacked. It's like using the logic well we have no privacy as it is might as well give the business everything they want. The same logic is used well if a criminal is going to get into my house if he wants to why have locks or even lock the door?
Ya they are using the palm scanner at Panera bread as a loyalty program.
A palm scan to buy food should sound crazy to any reasonable person.
