You must be delusional if you think anything good will come of digital euro.

It will be nothing but a mass surveillance tool. And another step towards the abolition of cash.

    As opposed to Visa/Mastercard?

    Currently, there are only concepts and promises. They promise the wallet will be p2p, anonymous, and non-traceable. We'll see if that's the case.

    There isn't much more they can surveil with a digital euro that they can't yet with how banking works today. Everything is controlled.

    So, between a controlled banking system and a controlled bankless/facilitatorless digital euro, I'll pick the one that doesn't give away my money to the financial world.
