The Power of Cash: Why paper money is good for you and society (bu.edu)

With physical currency, it's harder to be deplatformed. I wouldn't say "paper" specifically, though in the USA coins top out at $1 for practical purposes.

When inflation brings the $100 into use as the typical bill for a convenience store trip, there may be a shove to the e-currency. It's already typical for groceries and gas. Expect the scare-mongering over $1K notes enabling bad behavior.
