Can you carry cash?

There are signs that some forces are working on it becoming illegal to use cash in the US, probably in all other countries too.
It is easy to go overboard in all the conspiracy-thinking, but there is clearly something to this.
It was foreseen by the way in the 1984 (!) SF novel Neuromancer, in which is it casually mentioned that using cash is rare, and only really used in the criminal underworld.

If I know the powers that be on this planet, Bitcoin will be declared an illegit currency. This does not have to have any legal power or merit in order to remove the trust in it from 98% of the population.
