Some people already live in a cashless (and moneyless) society already - the homeless and those who are incarcerated. Also children. They tend to barter and trade for stuff. It's not that crazy of an idea, most people figure it out.

The US isn't a country where something like that would work. Cops would probably be ordered to arrest anyone who tries to do business that way.

Marketplace is illegal now? Also, if everyone is cashless, don't you think garage sale people accept cashless?

This is so myopic. Most of the world can send money via email. None of those things in the bottom will go away, save for a few tangibles. The gestures and transactions can still absolutely happen.
