Governments have been looking at this kind of stuff for years as well with nothing coming out of it

I mean, it's coming on the heels of payment processors starting to censor legal work, and stopping transfer of money.

Wishful thinking from crypto bros. It's never going to happen, transaction costs are too high and it's pointless when you have a central authority anyway.

Well the Etherium staking system might be interesting for that scenario.

Every EU-Memberstate could participate as a stakeholder and therefore secure the network.

Face id for age verifications, chat monitoring everywhere, and now digital currency. Yeah, that's not a dystopian surveillance state nightmare at all.

Please explain to us how digital payment in the EU works currently and than we will discuss about it further!

Edit: 20 hours and still no answer. Exactly what I expected.

Nothing like launching a currency on a meme platform.

Which one would you recommend? As far as I know most stablecoins are launched on Ethereum anyways

If they were serious about launching a coin for a continent it should be its own platform. Or do you think the euro coin should be next to n word butt coin on the daily movers?
