Busking goes cashless with 'a world first' for London
Found on BBC News on Sunday, 27 May 2018
London has introduced a contactless payment scheme for buskers in what the organisers claim is a world first.
In addition to tossing loose change into a box, passers-by can use card readers to make contactless payments.
"Now, more Londoners will be able to show their support to the capital's brilliant, talented street performers," said London mayor Sadiq Khan.
No cash means no privacy. Plus, spending a cent cashless feels not different from spending thousands of cents cashless. People will lose the feeling for money and spend it more easily. On the other hand, that's just what an economy based on infinite growth wants.
