A woman in Tennessee refuses to leave the branch in order to deposit her cash. The branch refuses to allow her to make a deposit of cash within the branch. The woman threatens to withdraw her $200,000. I suspect many others will do the same in the near term to choose banks that want to use cash.
Wells Fargo, after its massive credit card scandal, seems to be the first "Hoover Bank" up over the berm in the war against private non-digital transactions.
My recommendation to my family and friends is to find a bank that supports the America First agenda, promotes the use of privacy-enhancing cash, and plans to perform traditional banking long into the future.
As a technologist, I have evaluated the efficacy of digital currency. Because of the state of computers (
every device is broken and exploited by design to enable Artificial Intelligence panopticonic imprisonment of society writ large), the nebulous nature of digital currency's creation and management (new anonymous banking conglomerates have formed promising
anonymity they can't deliver), and the irresponsible method used to originate the currency (mining Bitcoins, for instance, is thought to take as much energy
as is consumed by entire countries in Europe).
