Enough talking, time to act. They always talk big yet don’t actually do anything about it. We still pay for everything using our Visa and Mastercard cards with no European alternatives whatsoever

That's why the ECB is building the digital euro

They aren’t building the digital euro, they are talking about it. It’s all talk, no action. And it’s been this way since July 2021

Sounds like they are getting more serious now. Some ECB documents about the possible marketshare were also leaked recently.

We'll see.
