The US government is making the use of cash extremely difficult:

And now the French government is doing the same:

The pretext for doing this is to allegedly prevent criminal or terrorist activity, and so it may.
But a secondary effect is that it steers us into a cashless society, eliminating another thing which governments used to do - issue and control their own currency - replacing it with phony electronic fiat currency with no intrinsic value.
Is this a good thing? I doubt it. But we are clearly going in that direction whether you like it or not.
Democracy? Don't make me laugh.
