You don't understand dude. It is about getting in nuts and bolts. Economy keeps people alive. If you want to replace it with something else, you will have to account for almost all the basic items.
Food, Water (public utility), Electricity (public utility), Health care (Public utility for a lot of poor folks).
What you don't want is a scenario where you are holding a plastic card which is not working. I have seen that up and close. Went to Singapore and my cards were not working. It was not fun... one single bit. And it was just an error. If government wants to shutdown a means of payment, well it will be really really really hard for the guy holding that.
Smuggler black economy does not scale exactly for this reason. It will be shut down by the government.
Does your electric company (most likely owned by government) will accept western union? Nope!
Does your trains (most likely owned by government) accept? Nope!
Does your public school (most likely owned by government) accept that? Nope!
Does your public hospital (most likely owned by government) accept that? Nope!
Does your public transport (most likely owned by government) accept that? Nope!
Also, what if the government bans internet? Like India is doing in Kashmir? Will all these digital bank account work? Nope!
And where they will get identifications in Nepal? Banking institutions require local addresses and identification. Try opening an account without SIN in Canada or SSN in USA. It will be really hard.
Fair point but economically it is ideal for them to have their own currency but its not possible, so they are tied into the indina Union ecnonmy by force... they cango ff grid and lmiit participation.
They can use Old demonoitied notes and start to burn them in Public Protests and social Media -- this would really kill off the Indian Union tourism and FDI apeptite...plus its not flag burning ...its simply doing what the PM Mooodysaid to do...Demonitise...
In Europe it is is different - I dont know about singapore so will take tyour word for it - same for North america..
same Us banks bu t int he Euopre they are like oipening a pack of sweets in some cases - harder in others so given...
They are under curfew so they have to smuggle and use black ecnomy anyway...idea time to use US Dollars...I wont detial on here but there are many ways to do this tactically and techincally....
There is no public transport - there are refugees and secret clnics in in undergound homes etc... it is basically auschwitz in the hills...
There are steps - the Kashmiri have land so they do not need to participate in the INR based enonomy unlike your sitiuaion in singapore- They have mountains hills and water and livestock, and ferttile countryside -
The sikhs can refuse to use the Indian Union Rupee currency at the Golden Temple on religoous ngroudns that it violates their relioiogin, even work moeny around via UAE, or other ways ...it does not require everyone to do it...its simply reuiqres it to be a thing that people ARE doing ...thats all... people will follow suit when they get fed up with the government ...and opression...llike Brexit..
eople got fed wup with austerity they voted Brexit in the masses in Dec 12 for the UK !
They cant lock
everyone up - there are foreing countries who are heavily invested there - they will want the RSS Nazi shit to stop affecting their investments...
local businesses and hotesl collect foreing currency anyway, and they will be hard hit by lack of Tourism - the sight of locals burning currency affects tourism very hard....
Look at Brexit - the mere threat of it in 2016 sent all of the eastern europeans left the UK and although the GBP went weaker- the Euro fell flat - Grexit greek exit threats nealy collapsed the Euro - the indian union ruppe would not be able to susatin any single republic come evenclose to exiting...regardless of if it does or not...
Once the currency has collapsed the tryrany collapses -.
