Any of you going back to cash? - We've all seen those charts showing that cash usage is dropping rapidly in Australia.

Same here - I've been using only card for everything because it's so much easier to beep a plastic card (or phone) instead of carrying papers and metals around. But card surcharges have been getting ridiculous. Some places charging 2%?!

I am very much not comfortable paying 2% of my after-tax salary to tyro or visa or whatever, so I started paying for everything in cash. I do have the occasional shop that won't take cash, but tbh it's rare. I also have a very conveniently placed ATM just outside my bike ride to work so I always make sure I have a bit on me.

It's also a reminder of the tangible form of money, and makes it easier to follow how much I actually take and spend.

Anyone else doing this? Or am I a dying breed?

Berkshire is hoarding so. much. cash.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can ... See More rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.

Buffet indicator is showing some wild times ahead perhaps, combine that with Berkshires record high cash hoard of 30%... chart via barchart.com / Longtermtrends
