Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse
I cant see anyway of avoiding joining the digital money system even in the most modest way. Imagine living off grid, without mortgage or rent, not watching TV, with a private income and / or tangible savings, generating your own power, water supply, drainage and growing your own food, (phew :o ) yo...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse
Cashless is definitely coming. No doubt. It will take a while but come it will. Sadly you are unlikely to have the choice to avoid it. Your right to insist on paying cash is only as strong as the obligation of merchants to take it, which is less than earlier decades. Shops can choose not to take yo...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse
Just because it's there doesn't mean I have to use it. Yes, I am stubborn, bloody minded, intractable & utterly relentless! The latest articles about the virus surviving up to 28 days on modern bank notes seem to fit this narrative/plan as well. Barter still exists. And there will be more, I th...

Re: 2020 Potential Economic Collapse
Numerous countries and central banks are all about to launch their own versions of digital currencies, ahead of doing away with cash. The trend is clearly there and developing quickly everywhere. Will these new crypto currencies be introduced overnight to 'solve' some urgent banking problem, presen...

Re: Tiny house
Only contribution I can make is that I live deep in the country. And I can tell you that wherever you are there are always eyeballs on you! Nothing moves without somebody seeing.. and the lonelier the place the more any movement stands out. Farmers, gamekeepers, poachers and pest control people are...

Re: Gadgets everywhere
And, cbp125, I agree.
Where I go & what I do is my business. One of the reasons I tend to stick to cash.

Re: Gadgets everywhere
Wow! I never considered surveillance in that way! I just keep the lid on technology’cos it’s more to go wrong if I am honest. I do get concerned when I visit some websites, and I get pop up adverts for fishing tackle I have viewed or bought on eBay. I am doing my best to cure that - cookies etc. Pu...

Re: Gadgets everywhere
My Dad would direct using the local pub names (of which there were rather more 40 years ago) While another friend always navigates by the churches. God alone knows how they would have coped if they had ever had to direct each other.... It's insanely funny. We can get where we're going - well, we've...
