Digital-only payments failings, SWE

Sweden's foolish campaign to push everyone into using tracked digital payments instead of anonymous cash is unjust to everyone who uses the digital system. Ironically, it has also boosted fraud.

A digital payment systems fraud can steal far more money than a small store would ever have on hand as cash. Thus, leaving cash has magnified the danger from crime.

If they were using GNU Taler for digital payments, instead of BankID, that would fix both problems. A Taler payment never reveals the payer's identity, and does not enable fraud against merchants.
