They have now rejected the cashless agenda. All shops are now required by law to accept real physical cash as a form of payment.
As long as payments are under NOK 20.000 ($US 1880 or about NZD 3,000), shops cannot refuse cash payments. Those that do so will risk being fined.
The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection even recommends people to have some amounts of cash at all times in case digital forms of payment stop working.
Just recently that was the case, after a software update caused computers all over the world to crash, affecting banks, airports, supermarkets and more.
As many as 600.000 Norwegians are not digital, especially many elderly people.
With the World Economic Forum having pushed a cashless agenda, Norway is going the opposite way.
It is important to have cash. Because in a cashless society, it would be very easy for a tyrannical government to control who can buy and sell, monitoring every transaction.
There are people, I am one of them, who have been conspiratorially theorising (just made that up, seemed appropriate) for over 40 years about what what would happen in a cashless society, now it is mainstream.
The Bible had been at it even longer, in Revelation 13,16-18,
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
