Great to see this dialogue!
In general, technology can assist to make our lives easier. How we use it and
in the situations we use it, will depend on us.
Technology always comes with its pros and cons and doesn’t take away from the
actual solution being accessible, which in this case is currency!
Technology is a choice and it depends on the people who find it useful. I think
this is true to all things technology.
