I’ve been paying digitally for a long while and never felt the need for a leather wallet in my pocket. I usually roll up a 10 to 20 dollars in my fob pocket just in case and i usually just forget about it.
Am i the only strange one here
Edit: In india we have UPI and only banks and governments gets the data if using the bhim app by NPCI and even local street vendors have those
Nope.
Phones crash, apps screw up, Google arbitrarily decides your phone isn’t “secure”, batteries go dead, cell networks are sometimes unavailable (wallet app requires internet), merchant payment networks occasionally go down, etc.
I don’t use digital wallets since the only options are Apple and their walled garden or Google who uses every transaction to profile you for targeted ads and deems your phone insecure should you do anything that might keep their eyes out of your life. But even using my “old school” debit card, I still feel much more secure always having some cash on hand for emergencies.
