Thought of this more recently. The amount of control tech has over credit or debit cards is dangerous. Not to mention a power outage leaves you with nothing. Or if someday companies decide you can’t use their credit card certain ways.
Its kind of unfeasible today, but maybe we should be using cash for every possible thing…
I’m of the opinion that it can be worth it to throw a few stale and sterile bread crumbs out there, curated, in order to divert, that’s better than trying to be a ghost. Depends on your threat model.
Use a card for innocuous things. Gas. Occasional groceries. Airplane tickets since it’s toured to your ID anyway. Things like that where using cash doesnt really get you any benefit anyway, or where it’s vanilla enough that it just makes you seem like any other person.
Happy cake day, almost same as mine!
And yes good idea. Good to poison the well too.
Thanks!
