RE: Is cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Steem Going to One day totally replace Physical Money?
It looks likely that we will move to a cashless society. it's an idea that has been discussed and experimented with fr decades. Recently some banks and politicians have been pushing for it saying that cash is enabling criminals ( https://www.treasurers.org/node/316742 ) but many see that as them wanting to retain power by ensuring every penny spent and earned is traceable and taxable.
Perhaps as they push for their version of a cashless society more and more people will be attracted to cryptocurrency.
I think your right regarding criminal activity, if its all non physical it will stop a lot of crime that is perpetrated to get large amounts of physical cash. If every bit of Cryptocurrency is traceable and track, it will make crime a lot harder to be worth while.
criminals are just as active with credit/debit cards and cryptocurrency and will always find ways around security measures (that's why it's a constant fight to improve security measures)
