Germany's Central Bank President: "The Eurosystem is working hard on the introduction of the digital euro... or CBDC." Sounds innovative on paper.

Withdrawals frozen. Wrong opinion? Wallet disabled. The US literally banned this as a surveillance tool. Europe's sleep-walking into a cage.(Lark Davis)
