 Agreed. I use cash for as much as I can in non-online interactions. Parking meters where you can use cash are quickly disappearing here in the UK, which is a major bug bear of mine. Even worse, they require you to pay online by downloading an app. Even card payments at the machine are not allowed (or rather, there often is no machine). 

It just shows how you only start to miss something once it is taken away from you.

Before I discovered Bitcoin I was one of those people who thought cashless transactions are a great idea. Ironic really that Bitcoin enlightened me on this point but such are the rabbit holes that it sends us down.

To conclude - use cash and Bitcoin wherever possible.
