The crime is the crime. There is no such thing as money leading.

Encryption is not as secure as people think.

- Cash is not traceable.

- Cash doesn't leave a permanent history on a blockchain.

- Cash does not charge a transaction fee.

- Cash does not require high tech electronics and a complex computer network to function

- Cash does not require permission from 3rd party verification

cash is just serial numbers that not everyone keeps track of yet.

Goldbacks have serial numbers? Hmmm

they do actually 😄

That was my point. They do.

Nothing is tracking the serial in a person to person transaction. Put it in a bank's digital currency system and it gets traced. Take it out, no longer traced.

So all they see are exit and entry people points.

I like cash, but keeping it in circulation without touching an ATM is not always easy. If not yourself, your counterparty will log the serial number at your bank’s local branch.
