    I welcome an European alternative to Visa/Mastercard/Amex. I think it could have some at-cost fees, especially to make shops that benefit from the system pay for it instead of all taxpayers. I hope it will respect privacy, and not just at first and then start on a slippery slope. Maybe this would then allow shopkeepers to price the different payment options. I think there is legislation now that price cannot depend on payment method.

    Like money, but digital I imagine? Is it really that complicated in a world were we’ve all used phones and contactless cards rather than cash for a decade now and crypto is a thing?

      Would be interesting if there was a limited supply.

      Otherwise I don’t see the advantage, it is still being controlled by a central entity.
