Start the Future

Cash is the bicycle of payments, not the horse cart

Pronouncing the death of physical cash has been a futurist cliché for decades, but these predictions,are often based on flawed mental models of the cash system and how it relates to digital money. In,this talk Brett Scott shows why cash is not an outdated 'horse cart of payments', and why it's far,better thought of as the 'bicycle of payments'. The cash system is certainly under attack, but in a future of climate change, geopolitical insecurity, cyber-attacks and digital burnout it stands to make a strong comeback.
