Only Boomers think that it's not secure or the "govt will steal my info"

And only millennials think pulling a tiny plastic card out of your wallet is a chore.

I’m Gen X so allow me to offer a middle ground.

The security question is valid. It’s one more company in the “information chain” with your financial information, even if it is “tokenized”. I would argue tokenization actually makes your financial information more secure, but the point is valid to a degre.

And yes, it’s pretty simple to swipe/tap a card, but squeezing my watch twice, holding it close to the terminal and walking out the door with my stuff makes me feel like Dick Tracy. Which should appeal to Boomers.
