If someone steals credit cards you can cancel them within minutes. If someone steals your cash, you don't have much recourse.
Totally disagree on security. Any form of digital payment information can be stolen by some spineless and faceless computer geek sitting at a keyboard in a third world country. If someone wants to try and steal my cash, they will have to confront me face to face and try to pry it out of my hands. The security of all this digital stuff scares the crap out of me. I’m never scared when using cash.
