I was speaking about frilly credit card features that force us to play a complicated game where we pay more for stuff and then get some money back by signing up for the right "reward" card or collecting points or miles or whatever.
Obviously, I'm not suggesting that everything should be cash. Electronic payment systems (credit/debit cards, wire transfer, Paypal, hopefully Bitcoin) are essential of course. (Often badly implemented, but essential.)
