I can imagine the "will you be using the mobile app?" question to get cheaper food is going to devolve into the Mark of the Beast and someday no one will be able to buy anything without using the apps (lemmy.world)

Once Elon evolves X to the everything app, we will finally enjoy what is what you describe and what is already the case in China.

I was there a month ago and we were driving through some rural area and the bus stopped so people can go to the toilet. There was a seller selling dried fruits in small plastic bags. I wanted to buy some and I had some cash on me, but the only way to pay was to use WeeChat and the QR code he had there.

Oh hell nah. We as a society really need to collectively understand the value of crypto is not an investment. It was made to be a tool to combat stuff like these everything apps from ever becoming mandatory.

I swear on my life if we ever have to use an everything app in the US I am going to jump off the nearest bridge. Bad enough already with how much the banks control our money and where it can go. We do NOT need another third party getting in the way.
