But to cats like me and Sebby, swinging free and easy in our Hickey Freeman suits while surrendering to the soft alcoholism that is our genetic lot in life (thanks, Great-Grandpa Seamus, you spud-digging evil bastard!) by swilling Woodford at the Brigham Young Atrium Downtown Omaha with a few divorcees after yet another meaningless corp rep deposition ... uh, where was I? Oh. Yes, Comrade Slothrop, to cats like us, cash is king sometimes.

It's the simplest logic. Anyone wishing to erode your privacy or further monitor you, in even the smallest fashion, is taking something significant from you, which makes him an enemy (or at least adverse to your interests). The best advantage you have with any enemy or person acting adversely toward you is what he doesn't know about you. We all rarely use cash, but in what circumstance is there ever any benefit to conceding a possible advantage? You never know when you might need it, or benefit from it. Options = Strength. Giving them away is illogical.
