I wouldn't go so far as that! I have a wide selection of traditional
credit cards, and not very many smartcards. Almost all the smartcards I
have are either in my phone or my TV. I do have a Mondex card, but I've
yet to activate it, let alone use it. I have never used a smartcard for
a financial transaction. I do use credit cards frequently, though.
Cheers,
Ben.
