Just last weekend, my city of half a million near Tokyo held a local craft beer fest. Cash was not accepted. Purely a cashless event. This will be implemented by varying degrees here and there long before 2030. Hell, it already is. Beside the cashless craft beer event, I have encountered QR Code Only restrooms and QR Code access controlled, by lottery outdoor events. You have to apply to the city office for a rationed ticket in the city park, those who are drawn receive the e-ticket that has the required QR Code that will display on your idiot phone that is then read at the gate to allow entry. Some process when departing the event. So your city knows exactly when you arrived and departed and so does anyone else who they allow access to the data. But nothing to worry about, I’m sure.

Wow.. wonder what could happen if they got a bunch of their "dissenting" population together at such an event. Crazy.

Not enough open dissenters exist. At best, they are “good Germans”.
