Nowadays, no matter how advanced internet technology is and digital currency is constantly changing, I still use paper money. I will plan for the unknown. When my mobile phone is out of power or an accident occurs, the money in my wallet will become the most important thing to help me, but we can see the difference between ten years ago and ten years later, I have to say that digital currency makes us now The world has changed dramatically.
Everyone may have their own preferences. I spend money more digitally than cash but as you said, it's different in your case. As far as losing money goes, it's much safer in a digital wallet than it is in cash.
If your mobile phone is out of power, it only means that temporarily you are unable to access funds. In the case of cash, there are much worse scenarios and digital money might be recoverable while cash isn't. You cannot go to the bank with a mutilated note.
Since the corona virus, I have seen a growth in online transactions and people try and avoid interacting with others physically. This is also the reason why we have seen so much talk about Bitcoin and blockchain technology for the past 2 years.
