Yes, but with state digital currency it's not a profit driven effort behind the cost, less cost inflation and shareholder pressure.
Also very good points. This is in general a very good move by the EU, and I'd wish we had it as a currency in my country.
It's also a choice to use, so if you don't like it then keep use your VISA/MasterCard.
Exactly.
And perhaps to make a more distinguishing contrast I would add that you can also keep using paper currency as well (banknotes still have the kind of anonymity online transaction can't offer, yet even there is still a huge distinction between government hopefully not selling your data vs megacorps rallying on that).
