And a long standing tradition that makes people comfortable doing what they have always done.

Define long standing tradition; modern money hasn't been around for all that long. Then again, neither has America, even tho it feels like both have been around forever.

Long standing as in cash money has been around for centuries and bit coin/electronic forms of currency have only been around for decades. i own a staffing agency, and i find it truly amazing how many people still want paper checks and will run to a liquor store or check cashing facility to turn them into cash.
