@eunews Digital Euro FTW! And instant payment methods, like the ones proposed by the European Mobile Payment Systems Association and other EU bank associations.

@eunews They had decades to come up with something.
But money is precious and no bank wanted to rush forward because there was no urge to do so.
The second mark they missed was the discontinuation of Maestro.
Now they're crying.
Neither the banks nor the EU did anything regarding that topic.
All those complaining right now should be fired because they were part of the situation we're in right now. -

The EU is currently trying to do all the same things that the BRICS has already done for pretty much the same reasons.
