Actually, I dislike carrying much cash, and I don't want NFC either. I don't want any payment system i can't authorise/use a PIN on at time of sale. I wouldn't walk around with $500 in my wallet for me to lose, I don't want an unauthenticated NFC system either than people can spend without intervention.
