So...according to this thread, Trump arranged for a loophole to provide $2T assistance to Americans via US Treasury debit cards, and Pelosi, seeing the attachment, becomes enraged and storms out of the room.

BUT

According to evidence the bill attachment was introduced by Tlaib https://tlaib.house.gov/sites/tlaib.house.gov/files/Automatic%20Boost%20to%20Communities%20Act%20.pdf

What's really alarming is this section:

In the long term, the card infrastructure should be converted into a permanent, Treasuryadministered digital public currency wallet system, to serve as a privacy-respecting “eCash” complement to universal Fed Accounts and/or Postal Bank Accounts for All.

This sounds an awful lot like UBI. Also, maybe it's only specific to this bill, but Patriots, we absolutely can't accept an all-digital currency. It will be our DEATH

Does the implementation of a digital wallet system eliminate all cash currency?

No - we have cash and digital wallets now. However, TPTB are pushing cashless, usually rationalizing it as a means to prevent dark money transactions and/or to increase "financial inclusion." .
