China. I have a few cash in my wallet but haven't spent any for years. Everything is now done through digital payments either Wechat Pay or Alipay, and all shops in the country accept them.

You only realize how precious cash is when you need a red envelope. XD

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For me, the answer is no, I don't care about this at all.

Would you also not care if that dataset gets leaked to the internet some day?

I wouldn't be happy about it. But as others have mentioned this specific data is way less sensitive for me than my email, actual bank data, photos and much much more. The quality of life vs risk ratio is heavily skewed towards electronic payments in my case.
