Would Taler be more resilient than a typical EMV/AmEx card? It's designed as an online payment system but it's less centralised, so that could help.

It's already an attractive project due to its privacy feature, and due to it being more regulation-friendly that cryptocurrencies. If it's resilient enough it could act as a digital cash.

To me Taler is not a cash alternative, but a card alternative, besides cash. It's better then cards, probably for everyone involved, but it isn't better than cash.

Cash alternative

I don't think replacing cash is a good idea
