This might sound a bit far fetched but :

Wouldn't removing cash create:

1. Some sort of kill switch that allows those in power/with control to just "turn off" dissenters(not taking into account those sponsored by other entities);

2. Some sort of underground markets for other means of transfering money like gift cards and such;

3. create a parallel economy via some sort of bartering system in countries where digital means are not exactly widely adopted in rural areas;



Yes to all of these.
