I learned ACH is Automatic Clearing House but didn't see the definition of NFC.

Reading about digital money made me think about the IRS tax form line
that asks if the person/family use BIT COINS.
I heard a family member in another State tell me of a (I think)
restaurant that does not accept cash.
I couldn't eat there, Coins and Green Back Dollars are what I'm use to. Checks too.

Yeah, Checks are more or less dead except for utilities and
intra-personal payments. Hell, most places won't even bother with ACH because of the risk of it bouncing.. and god forbid ChexSystems get
wind of a bounced check, then there goes your chances of opening a bank account anywhere.
I personally am preferrential to debit cards, and using things like NFC payment with my phone - primarily because I do not trust myself with
cash, and would rather limit my physical attack surface for people who wish to rob me.
anything outside of a speculative way to make money.. and even then I
only plan to do so when it drops again.. and hope it climbs back up
bigger than it is now.
