The following report is by ZeroHedge:
As Statista’s Katharina Buchholz details below, While some nations in Western and Northern Europe as well as in the Americas and Oceania have shifted to more card payments, much of Asia and Africa continues to run on cash.
You will find more infographics at Statista.
There are also notable example among highly developed nations to the card payment trend: In Germany, 73 percent most recently said they had paid in cash in the past 12 months, while only 56 percent had used debit cards and only 18 percent had used mobile phones for payment. The results of the survey were similar in Austria, Poland, Italy and Spain as well as Japan – another stronghold of cash payments.
According to Statista’s Consumer Insights, respondents in English-speaking nations, in Scandinavian and Benelux countries as well as in Brazil, Chile, South Korea, Russia and France preferred card payments.
Despite popular belief, debit cards were more popular than credit cards in the U.S. and also across most other nations. Denmark, France and South Korea emerged as the biggest credit card lovers among the 38 nationalities in the survey and were the only ones using the type of payment more than all others methods.
The U.S. was also not the biggest nation of check users in the survey.
While 13 percent of Americans said they had used them in the past 12 months, this was topped by 14 percent of Swiss people, 16 percent of Indians and 20 percent of French respondents.
The only country in the survey where mobile payments had overtaken all other payment types was China, where 67 percent had used their phones to pay in the past year. India, Indonesia and Nigeria were two more countries with high rates of phone payments – in the case of India and Indonesia even overtaking debit cards.

This is one of the reasons why I have said that while the world is racing towards the mark of the beast at blistering speeds everyday, we are still a bit a ways off. The best I can describe a lot of these end times movements is this: on the “macro scale” we are knocking on the door: on the “micro scale” we still have more to go.
[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:16-18
That being said, we know that nations are working hand over fist to phase-out cash and usher in CBDCs and digital IDs; and therefore as physical tender around the world continues to be devalued by the day and eaten alive inflation, and the economies of the world eventually go cataclysmic, the rollout and acceptance of CBDCs will become more pronounced.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I need to start using cash more often, as a true believer we MUST hinder the Antichrist system before the catching away.
Also brother Jacob,
You think you can write a report on Charles Stanley’s death? If not, that’s alright, I know you’re super busy.
Doubtful to be honest.
No worries, I understand.
Charles Stanley was another greedy mammon worshipping wolf on TV (TV yeah say no more) and he was also a Freemason and I have proof of that.
He has graduated to his greater damnation and it is just.
I just heard about the USA possibly defaulting by June 1st: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c3XSHNCDNU
They’ll probably wait to the last second to raise it to create hysteria.
And once again America prove, why no one should trust in America. Today America is headquarters for “Nazi death cult” The USA is a weak as it has been in a very long time. No leadership and its sad to watch when a real-world emergency happens, all of America pious and self-regarding talk implodes in a pile of dust. The stink of failure is hard to throw off when it is a American regime.
