Cash should never be got rid of entirely, but surely it should be up to the business if they want to take cash and then the free market decides if that decision costs them customers or not?

Citizens should have right to privacy. Cash, monero etc are important.

Then this people that seek privacy can go and shop somewhere that does take cash to maintain it, but if the market shows that they're not the majority they can't expect every shop to cater to them. It's like me expecting all restaurants to go fully veggie because I personally don't eat meat.

More like having a veggie option at every restaurant.

Which most of them do as the market has shown it's worth it. Does the market show enough people want to keep paying cash because it seems to just be nutty conspiracy theorists on twitter moaning about it.
