As long as it can continue to be devalued through inflation and central banks— then, yes.
But unlike cash every purchase you make can be traced with a digital euro.
Orwellian
This guy gets it
you use anything other than cash?
if the answer is yes, you don't get it
I use digital transactions not for convenience, but when they're unavoidable, such as paying a person in another city or paying for an online order that wants you to pay in advance. For everything else (including most online orders) - cash rules.
It's possible to implement it in a way that purchases can't be traced. XMR has proven that. But there is absolutely no way the EU is going to take that route, it will for sure be traceable
This depends on how the system is going to be designed and implemented.
Dont worry about that people will call u paranoid for saying it.
