        @auchenberg …& all transactions tracked. No opt out of a bank account. More power to banks. Felt Orwellian to not have choice. Didn’t enjoy.

        @aral Then you have a choice to enjoy your dinner another place. I understand business's who doesn't want to deal with cash. Too expensive.

        @aral @ncilla never thought about this scenario but yep seems to be the future - Bitcoin may come in very late.
