The Dankort system, the almost universal card
payment system in Denmark, is down this morning. It’s mindboggling to think of
all the small and large disruptions this creates – paying for transportation for
instance.
It’s striking that with such large systems,
you get equally large disruptions. Suddenly, in a glitch, money in general is
out of order. That’s huge. Enough to make you consider carrying cash around.
But then again, you can’t pay for a train ticket using cash at my station.
