Bitcoin is a Potent Weapon in the Coming ‘War On Cash’
What do you mean by ‘War on Cash?’ It means the phasing-out of physical currency, making all money electronic. You would no longer have the ability to withdraw, spend or hold cash in your hand. Your money would ideally be kept at an account with your country’s central bank. Banks would still lend money, but would no longer need to hold deposits. No country is seriously pushing for an outright ban on hard cash just yet, but a number of stalking horses have appeared.

I Saw the Future in Las Vegas, and It’s SkyMall
Like any good American child, I dreamed that adulthood would mean living in a house filled with stuff from the SkyMall catalogue. My dog would eat from an elevated dog bowl and play in a yard stalked by a garden yeti. I would offer my guests an all-edge brownie, and perhaps a drink delivered by Roswell, the alien butler.
