If you give a £50 note to a butcher, who then buys from the baker, who then buys from the candlestick maker, it’s worth £50 to each of them, and after 50 transactions it’s still worth £50
If you pay by card, the bank takes 1.5%, 3% or even 5%. The butcher, baker and candlestick maker all have to pay the bank for the privilege of transacting, and by 50 transactions…
The bank has the whole £50 in fees.
This is the real reason they want a cashless society.
Cash is freedom, but it’s also trillions the banks can NOT take from you
