It's not that dumb. There's a market for this, if you want it or not.

And if you're going to use crypto, it's better they use a currency that's not tied to the currency of an unstable country.

Also, the EU is looking to make a digital Euro anyway, which will not be a crypto coin as you know it, but a way to take power away from VISA and Mastercard, which will save European countries for billions each year.

The digital euro is where it's at! I can't wait to give billions of dollars worth of middle fingers to American credit card companies.

Well, I was against the idea, but now you got me thininiking.

Another reason to move to the digital euro is to circumvent the censorship on steam and various adult websites that credit card companies are imposing on us.
