The European Central Bank is eager to roll out the digital Euro which may have drawbacks for citizens of the European Union.

Abstract: 
-

Excerpt:
"As we warned back in 2022, the mass development and rollout of central bank digital currencies would represent (and this, I believe, is not hyperbole) a financial revolution that threatens to radically reconfigure the very nature of money itself. And let’s be clear: this will not be a bottom-up revolution. There are no European citizens marching in the streets calling for a digital euro, for the simple reason that most people already believe they are using a digital euro currency every time they pull out their card or mobile phone."
