A friend of mine is working for a VC funded company that is building a method of tracking ALL digital transactions using blockchains. The goal is to make the money completely traceable throughout its entire history... so when you get a wire transfer, check, credit card payment or whatever else the amount will be traceable in ways that allow someone to see the entire life of each penny. The two most interested customers for their product are the US government and the banking industry.
"Cash" will not exist within a decade or two...
