PayPal Predicts the End of the Wallet By 2015
BogenDorpher writes "As new technology emerges, one can safely assume that the days of carrying a wallet will soon end. In fact, PayPal believes that by the year 2015, no one will be carrying a wallet anymore. Instead, mobile payment methods will be taking over."
The broker for those payments isn't PayPal, what a horrible company.
Wallets aren't only used to carry money or credit cards.
Nice. It's a good thing I only use my wallet for cash, and not frivolous other stuff like a driver's license.
I read TFA and all I got was this lousy cookie
Not if PayPal is the middle-man.
Gone!
no one respects paypal, no one trusts them. they won't come clean and be a proper bank (and I use the term 'proper' very loosely).
who the hell cares what some microblog says about what paypal thinks? news flash: greedy ceo's dream of taking over the world. film at 11.
crap article to create panic (and page refreshes). this really should have been filtered, slashies.... please do a better job picking the greenlit articles next time.

Never Gonna Happen
The illegal market depends on cash too much. If they took away cash people would start carrying around platinum, gold, silver and copper coins again as well as having funds deposited in foreign currency and the US government won't let that happen. China will go paperless long before the US does.
