e-currency is all but inevitable. I almost never use cash, and increasingly it's only used by old people, paranoid people, criminals, and in other countries as a store of value.
I feel that anonymity is overall a bad thing when all things are considered, so perhaps transactions will be traceable between parties.
It's really silly to need to carry anything at all to make purchases. Once my identity has been confirmed by multifactor authentication, the e-transaction should be approved. No cash, no cash robberies, and a reduction in criminal transactions.
