Cash hasn't been king in a LONG time.
Physical theft is much more likely to happen than digital theft. Your money is almost infinitely safer in a bank than under your mattress or in your wallet.
Last year I was selling a large item for around $2000 at a yard sale I had two interested buyers. One walked up offering $200 less saying "cash is king", the other guy offered to e-transfer me the exact same amount that the other guy offered. I sold it to the guy that saved me an extra trip to the bank.
Credit cards are better anyways if you get rewards. I've been on countless flights and cruises for free just for using credit cards for most things even though I always pay off the balance.
