You have obviously never driven change in an organization.

You don’t claim to change everything on day one. You say: “people will have the choice”.

Then, you reduce the choices. Your taxes? They have to be in digital euros.

Then, you increase the scope. Purchases over 50k? Digital euros. It’s only a minority of transactions anyway.

Then, you lower the bar. Anything above 10k.

Then, you reduce the printing of physical money (lower values) and you say: “digital euros are more convenient anyway”.

The digital euro is going in pair with the new privacy laws.
