Digital payments seem to be in the rise lately. More people are abandoning paper money (cash) in favor of credit/debit cards, and even crypto. Paying with cash is a rarity these days. Especially where I live. I'm beginning to wonder if cash is still King. Countries worldwide are already planning to launch CBDCs of their own. So cash's days are numbered. Am I right?

Feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks. Smiley
As a Nigerian living in Nigeria, Cash is still very much the king. I could even add that Cash is the emperor  Grin We pay for 90% of things with cash. Even after my country launched their own CBDCs almost no one uses it. Unfortunately because of how disorganized the country is, citizens have to buy their own currency from cash merchants.
