Cash, at least in europe. In my opinion that decision would mark one of the most epic political fails in recent history but I fear, that's what's going to happen.

I just hope that something like GNU Taler (which keeps buyers' privacy and forces sellers to report their earnings properly) becomes the norm, as opposed to the proprietary plastic card transactions we have now. I myself am guilty of switching to that system because cash is just insanely inconvenient, but I also recognize it's pretty bad.

Why would it be a failure? I loved never having to carry anything but a phone in China.

Because iso/power failures, lost/broken devices, let alone the government doesn't need to know every transaction, the inability to gift a displaced person $20, or money in a birthday card.

I don't know about DVDs, nearly 2 decades ago I thought optical media was dead and yet somehow it's still here.

I am with you on physical media, and it is sad. Physical media is the only media you really own.
