Once the government no longer has an armed citizenry to worry about, it is able to move to other forms of control and the control of money is got to be #2 on the list after firearms. Restricting freedom of speech and religion, peaceful assembly, due process, etc are very easy when the government has total control of your money. Think your neighbor will turn you in for illegal firearms and ammo or hoarding food and resources if the government threatens to turn off their money?

Control (restrict) weapons. Then money. Then comes information. As evidenced by recent leaks, mainstream media is already an arm of the democratic government leadership in this country. So you just need to restrict "rogue" communications, starting with the internet.

Justify it by all of the "self radicalized" terrorists who got their crazy ideas from these dangerous "unregulated" internet sites. Eliminate the anonymity of internet postings, and then employ various levels of harassment for anyone posting "radical" ideas. Once done, use similar tactics to shut down any radical / anti-government ideas that might be espoused in churches and other public places.

Complete and total population control has always been the goal of every totalitarian government. The one we have now is no exception.

Count me as one who is opposed to a cashless society. If people are afraid of getting robbed, then they are free to not carry any cash. But just like with guns, those people don't get to force their ideas onto me. And those same people better not wear any jewelry, or expensive shoes.

The only way I could see this working is if there was a truly anonymous electronic currency that could not be controlled by any government. Something like bitcoin. Otherwise, the government can come and take my cash at the same time that they come take my guns. That will be right after I have delivered all of my bullets to them, at high velocity.
