I still like using cash. Fuckers dont need to know my business. I only pay my bills with debit cards and checks. All store purchases I use cash.
I've come here to chew bubble gum, and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.

We have direct debit for most of our bills.

i have a HSBC rmb bank account. But, WeChat Pay now supports Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, and Discover. The only people using cash in China were foreigners. But, many places do not accept cash payments.

China doesn't have a developed financial system, so they need something home grown.

WeChat doesn't use NFC Like Google Pay and Apple Pay? Merchants scan the QR Code on the WeChat app to receive payment? I think that's how it works. Cause only a select number of places here accept WeChat for payment. While Google Pay can be used wherever debit and credit are accepted by tap.

What old Thiel is saying is that foreigners can now use those pay apps without having a Chinese bank account.

Businesses have to pay fees for credit card transactions. Plus tax evasion is a common practice. The hotdog guy that I know he pays a monthly fee for a debit/credit machine. I no like carrying cash. We are going into a cashless society. Digital transactions is convenient. In 10 years bums wouldn't be asking for spare change. They will have to find another way to make money.

You get money back at the end of the year if you pay for everything by credit card. We usually get two to three thousand bucks.
