“If we want the digital Euro to become a success, we need a clear and convincing narrative of why we need it in the first place. People need to see the benefits of a digital Euro in their day-to-day lives. The European Central Bank and the European Commission have yet to make a compelling case of why we need the digital Euro and what added value it will deliver,” explained Markus Ferber MEP, the EPP Group Spokesman in the European Parliament’s Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee.

    being a pessimist here for a second:

    once this reaches a more mature stage, there will be somebody claiming it would be used when selling drugs or other illegal activities and those privacy concerns will go out the window :/

      I think that’s not that pessimistic.

      I don’t expect there to be good privacy straight from the start, no matter what they say right now.
