    This assumes the supermarket doesn’t track everything

      They don’t. It wouldn’t benefit the corporation in any way. They’ll only do what makes money and that would cost money with no return.

        What if the government pays the supermarket to do it? They’d have a financial incentive, then. I could imagine this scenario in a high-security authoritarian paradigm.

          And this would be different from Bitcoin? You know you can track it pretty easily, right?

            Not if you make any effort at all to not be tracked

      Eh… You think cashiers write down all bill numbers or something?

        In my country, it happens that machines are handling paper money. Cashiers are just unauthorized to do it. I bet downvoters come from reddit

          No, downvoters are just not paranoiacs.

            Also, everyone comes from Reddit.

            This is a Reddit clone.

            That said, they do broadly track movements of physical currency. It’s one of, or was one of, their primary tools against counterfeiting, tracking large cash robberies, money laundering, etc.

            They might not know “This bill was held by Person X and they spent it at Y which spent it at Z” but they do know “Person X had this bill, and it showed up again in region A. If more with associated numbers also show up in the area Person X is most likely there.”

                Besides over a century’s worth of public records of investigations into financial crimes and bank robberies?

                This must be some zoomer blind spot because this is just common knowledge to anyone that grew up in a cash economy and had a proper taste in fine art (aka heist movies and pulp fiction)

                  GPS tracker, bunch of tweets, website that nobody knows…

                  I asked for a credible source and have yet to see one 🙂

                    Oh, you’re not naive, you’re just dumb and lazy.

                    Well, good luck with that.

          Yeah so cashiers still handle the cash in US with drawers and having to even out and everything. this is likely why you are getting so many u r crazy replies. I imagine the us will get like that eventually. Myself I almost exclusively use cc so im like an open book.
