The irony that the bottom screenshot is literally misinformation …
people like you will actually wait until the very day that such a thing happens, THEN you will complain. How sad.
Yes because governments have not and will not ever abuse their power
You can’t justify misinformation with “well it cOuLd happen”, it’s still perfectly capable of giving people the impression that that is a real thing
Its not even misinformation. It is speculation of the future
If this picture actually makes the rounds I give it a week before it starts being shared without the top half…
And without the 2026 year
the hell is “digital euro” and how is it any different from the euro in my bank account
Well, the euro in your bank account is owned by the bank (they have custody) and nominally assigned to you.
A digital CBDC euro would be owned directly by the government, kept in an “account” controlled directly by that same government, which then they will allow you to use “your” (their) money.
The differences would have been more obvious 50 years ago when bank balances weren’t just numbers on a screen like today.
Unfortunately, this person is correct.
The mechanisms to freeze someone’s money in the banks already exist and are being used.
Not that I think this project for the digital Euro is a great idea.
I trust my government more than a bank, though.
If you’re American, I don’t expect you to understand.
Looks like a centralized alternative to a bank card. Rather than using an existing network like Visa or MasterCard as the backbone it appears that their intent is to build their own separate system. The project is still in the planning phase though, so what it eventually looks like (if it ever happens) is anyones guess.
