This is honestly the perfect peaceful protest against monetary dystopia.
Carry cash with you.
If you find a place that says “card only - no cash.”
Insist on paying in cash.
They cannot stop you. It is “legal tender” for a reason. nostr:note1cqxnql6dnjxv9xnmkw2lgdggwnsnqksg50eacgc4c4ucr6d3c6hqa5x956
nostr:note1r668fzsyt86n5ln8d469kyj88vxzxn9a7dhfs6jdy3mmnacle73q6r7wth I left a whole shopping cart at the register during the #scamdemic
Not sure what the law in the USA is. But in the UK if a business rejects legal tender you can walk off with the goods without needing to pay. It’s one of those old by laws.
If everyone used cash in these cashless stores they could a lot of free stuff if they knew about this law. And it would force these new cashless stores to accept cash again.
That’s an interesting point. Inspires new shopping habits.

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.
Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.
It wasn’t until recently that I looked up the law and found out I was mistaken businesses in the US can refuse to accept cash unless there is a state law that says they cannot. I personally haven’t checked the state laws yet.
First, is not the right of the debtor being violated by the business forcing a citizen to pay debit in non-cash form? Just because your a private business doesn’t give you the right to violate the constitution.
Second, business is forcing customers to have bank relationships is imposing on the persons right of privacy.
Where is there anywhere in the constitution about money?
So walk out the store then throw cash back through the door
Paying only with Cash. Bank balance 0.
While I understand the sentiment regarding paying with cash, a business owner is under no obligation to do business with a customer and vice versa.
If I choose to only accept Bitcoin for transactions it does not give you the right to throw dirty fiat in my face and abscond with my merchandise. That would be theft.
The only remedy to the problem of merchants not accepting cash is to voice your opinion and then do not do business with them.
The free market will work itself out in time. No laws are necessary.
Free market obviously doesn't work like that, because humans are too stupid & ignorant.
We have trillions of tons of proof for this statement, when we look at how people get screwed over by #Google, #Microsoft, #Amazon & #Government all day long, every day & yet many people do not even realise it. They just accept shit, mostly without even protesting or saying anything against it.
If that wasn't bad enough, most people suffer from collective amnesia.
Remember when the USA wanted to basically end the freedom of the internet through ISPs? Yeah, like everyone forgot about that & is going about their days, like that never happened. Fuck people & their stupidity & daily loss of memory.
There are hundreds of videos already just by a single guy #LouisRossmann, who has shown in so many cases, what kind of shit companies pull & people simply don't get it, they too often believe in corporate propaganda, like for example, that giving you the possibility to repair your car basically increases chances of you getting stalked & raped & possibly killed. Yes, that's literally what they claimed will happen, if you are able to repair your bought car. 😂

It's getting to the point where anyone who is stupid enough to live in a larger US city is begging to be spanked anyway. Conditions there are sliding down fast below the standard of former "second world" and "third world" countries, as far as crime and corruption goes.
And don't get me started on the nuremburg code violation that has just been swallowed everywhere. I was just glad that I was able to wait that out in Bulgaria, where enforcement was extremely slack (because the cops also agreed it was bullshit, as did more than half of the population, they had the lowest vaxx rates in EU).
I personally think that we haven't seen nearly the worst yet, either. Wait until the cropdusters show up with viral particles and the DEWs being used on you when you violate the climate lockdown, stuck inside where the many kinds of legalised slow poisons are filling your air with cancer and immune system disruption.
Like the "it's going to get much worse yet" memes.
Find your refuge, and get your ass there as soon as possible. Next year is gonna be a doozy.
That's not true.
According to united states federal law and most states, being legal tender means it can be used to settle debts, NOT that you have to accept it.
Right from the fed, this came up a lot during 2020.
In the USA, AFAIK, legal tender laws have been updated/changed. Worse, legal tender refers to paying “debts” as opposed to offering to buy something you don’t own.
What a legend ⚡️

not in Australia. yes, its legal tender, but its not illegal to refuse cash. as always in Oz, terms & conditions apply lol!
You're so lucky guys. Feels like EU is just over it. In the Netherlands you can't even buy a sandwich at a stop shop with cash anymore. They're processing this change towards dystopia quite fast.
I agree that a free market would resolve itself over time.
Unfortunately we dont have a free market.
Just my 2 sats...
That's a dick move.
Imagine someone walks into your store, and insists in paying with bcash, when you tell him you don't want it, he takes the goods anyway and leaves you with a shitty currency you don't want.
Bcash i not legal tender.
It's amazing seeing legal standards created centuries ago, confronting the latest technologies, in real time.
Thank you monarchist, likely racist, elitist court lawyer-priest or judge from 16th century typhoid europe.
