Even where on-line transactions are done between individuals, it's not an electronic crypto-currency being used, but good old dollars in the bank.

I've made plenty of cash transactions as I have never had a check book. In fact, I just paid half of a new roof in cash for my house. I'll pay the other half in cash upon completion. I paid cash for my truck ($6k) and Prius ($13k). My grocery store (Winco) accepts debit or cash only. I use debit.
At $3/gallon for petrol, I make 6 cents back by using a credit card (2% back). As a bonus, I don't have a pocket full of change getting in the way of useful stuff like keys, cellphone, wallet. I used to pay cash at Arco a long time ago to avoid the extra fee. No extra fees at Costco, AND they have the cheapest fuel.
