Step 2: Some stores stop accepting cash because of rounding
Step 3: Second wave of other stores join
Step 4: Fewer people carry cash as a result
Step 5: Cash Becomes More Difficult to Withdraw From Banks since less cash on hand means they need justification for any withdrawal over 500 in a day
Step 6: Wait 3 Years, but strengthen ID requirements while implementing behind the scenes biometric collection and AI identification for the purposes of “catching illegal immigrants”
During step 6, conservative Christians, normally fearful of the Antichrist and a universal mark for being able to be a part of society, accept this development because MAGA good, immigrants bad
Step 7: Regime change. The lower classes, upon having the little wealth they have and labor stolen even more, with increases in poverty and death, realize they have been screwed and elect pro-regulation big-government Democrats to save them.
The democrats ban privacy coins in a new comprehensive crypto bill. There is little protest.
Step 8: American New Deal. In an effort to “save America,” Democrats pass a bill with a huge amount of spending for the poor, as well as expansive banking regulations to ensure banks are “safe.” The public safety means more than 100 can’t be withdrawn in a day.
Step 9: 3 years pass, almost no one uses cash. The destruction caused by Trump’s actions and the changes caused by AI lead Democrats to enact UBI for all, a card with 800 a month for everyone. Each person gets a card. Additionally, all financial transactions must be linked to the card, and cash is banned. Rural maggats, many reeling from greater poverty, are happy to get UBI.
Step 10: AntiChrist arrives, wowing all before killing nearly everyone. Cashless MAGA Christians are impressed… Before they all are killed.
Yep… It’s just a penny. Nothing to worry about folks!

That’s some crazy ass shit. More proof that reality is simulated!
I don’t believe in religious stuff and Step 10 was mostly a joke, although that link is shocking.
To everyone who downvoted me, screw you!!!
