This topic is interesting so I decided to open the link for further details but I couldn't, why is that? Seems there's an error. Because of that I'm force to browse Google and search for related articles. Anyway, it's fine.
According to what I've read, Sweden is the first countey in Europe who used banknotes (1661) and also will be the first one who will be an official cashless society by March 2023. Just wow! It seems that Sweden are more advance to the world, I guess as advance as the aliens. Just kidding Lol.
Furthermore, a certain part of the article made my jaw drop. Here it is,
Both banks and government encourage citizens to adopt the cashless economy.
Am I dreaming? Please wake me up. I can't believe it, their banks and government (which are pro centralization) are the ones who encourage their countrymen to embrace digital payments. That was so amazing.
I thought pursuing mass crypto adoption or let's say cashless society would become a bloody battle, many will contradict which soon lead to destroyed unity but I was wrong. Sweden is the proof that you can attain such thing without getting any forms of chaos. I hope the rest of the countries will become open minded like them.

I think we are still far from the cashless society because there are still many peoples using cash money.
Even there are peoples who doesn't have any bank accounts nowadays.
At least they must know how bank accounts and virtual money works, so they can transact each others cashless.
It doesn't really matter now. If Sweden did it, of course we can as well. The bottomline, cashless society is feasible.
