What's particularly amusing about the demand for cash is that cash is issued by the Government as tokens, who can turn around at any time and declare that a particular token is no longer cash.

But apparently that's very different from the fear that they can do precisely the same with bank accounts.
It's nothing more than the gold coin mentality in a different guise
