6-14-96: NYT ad for The New York Times Magazine:
Cash is dirty.
Cash is heavy.
Cash is quaint.
Cash is expensive.
CASH IS DYING.
"You believe in banks don't you? That's good, because
ultimately money is backed by nothing but your own
confidence, habit and faith -- a form of faith as powerful
and essential to modern life as any religious belief. The
coming digital era will make this plain to everyone, as
never before."
(Continued on Sunday)
From "Dead as a Dollar" by James Gleick ...the cover
article in this week's issue.
---------
Yes, the James Gleick whose co-founded Pipeline is near
dead as a dollar. Hope his multi-million-dollar PSI-buyout
lives.

And will remain as long as it still is. E-cash is a great idea,
and I hope to see it _really_ working soon, but it will not be anonymous
anytime in the forseable future.
Also, people won't trust it. Not the people that read this list, I
trust some of the people here, and if they say it works, I trust that. Not
just one, but _all_ of the group I trust. No, people like my parents and
other relatives. People smart enough to read the papers, and smart enough
not to trust everything the "experts" say.
Cash is easy, cash is plentiful, you can hold cash in your hand
and KNOW that you have it.
