Re: How much longer until paper money is no longer in circulation?
I bet you that your predictions would turn out wrong. Paper money has been in existence and use for over a century(thats a 100 years). We have gotten familiar and used to the paper money that any other means of payment would be scrutinized thoroughly and initially would be distrusted by most people.
Paper money will almost definitely still be in existence and use in 10 years. Besides, what other means of payment is as widespread, known and accepted as the fiat system? None that I know of.
In 10 years from today, we would still be using the fiat system. There may be other new and innovative means of making and receiving payments, that doesnt mean the fiat system would be completely abolished.

In a decade, things will remain most likely the same way as they are right now. But set yourself forward 4-5 decades from now, and paper money will no longer exist as a standard means of payment. Our society is advancing quickly by making good use of technology. With CBDCs, governments will be able to reduce waste and gain more control over people's finances. They won't be able to do that with paper money, though.
The advent of crypto/Blockchain tech has raised the bar of the way we pay for goods and services. Central banks and mainstream governments became interested in the tech after the industry grew quickly in popularity. Exactly when will paper money cease to exist, is a mystery. I wouldn't worry about this, as long as we've got decentralized cryptocurrencies at our side. Just my opinion
