#AskAFuturist: When will we see the end of cash?
"What year doth dosh disappear forever?" This was the precise question asked on Twitter by Sandy Lindsay MBE. Here's my answer.

Archive Note
The archive of posts on this site has been somewhat condensed and edited, not always deliberately. This blog started all the way back in 2006 when working full time as a futurist was still a distant dream, and at one point numbered nearly 700 posts. There have been attempts to reduce replication, trim out some weaker posts, and tell more complete stories, but also some losses through multiple site moves - It has been hosted on Blogger, Wordpress, Medium, and now SquareSpace. The result is that dates and metadata on all the posts may not be accurate and many may be missing their original images.
You can search all of my posts through the search box, or click through some of the relevant categories. Purists can search my more complete archive here.
