Physical cash is on its way out and won't be missed, but even in an all-digital future the option of anonymous, untraceable consumer payments must remain, Executive Editor Marc Hochstein argues.

But regulations and the industry's conservatism augur poorly for payment privacy, and a frank and open debate will be required.
