  1. New working paper by Martin Summer of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank argues that #dataprivacy should be a built-in feature of #digitalmoney, not a trade-off with crime prevention #digitaleuro #econsky www.oenb.at/en/Publicati...

  2. Der Kampf der Giganten: #ECB-#DigitalEuro vs. #EPI-#Wero. Warum nicht #GNU-#TALER?

    "Warum wir jetzt nebeneinander zwei Zahlungssysteme aufbauen, erschließt sich mir nicht" sagt #MartinaWeimert (EPI).

    Wero ist eben nicht so cool. Nicht anonym nutzbar, funktioniert nur mit #Smartphone, sogar nur mit US-Betriebssystemen, und läuft derzeit noch auf AWS. Einziger Vorteil: Es ist nicht PayPal.

  10. Europe seeks its own digital-payment systems to bypass US giants Visa and Mastercard.

    Visa and Mastercard are global card systems that intermediate payments between a cardholder’s bank and a merchant’s bank. They process over half of all card payments in Europe.

    The European Central Bank has been warning for some time that dependence on foreign card networks exposes Europe to political pressure or sudden disruptions.

  15. Why is Europe’s break from Visa and Mastercard facing resistance?

    A digital euro, a push for sovereignty from US payment giants and a bitter fight between banks and Brussels are all coming to a head — and the outcome could affect how Europeans conduct even the simplest day-to-day payments.

    The digital euro could arrive by 2029 — but a bitter battle between Brussels and the banks stands in the way.

    In practice we are prepared to and offer #iDeal but are still waiting for WERO to be offered.
    A European alternative with no involvement of #Mastercard and it's War On Adult Entertainment is badly needed after all.

    The #DigitalEuro will come a bit later.

  21. By 2026, over 130 countries representing 98 percent of global GDP are developing or implementing Central Bank Digital Currencies. This is not just digital cash. It is a fundamental restructuring of the relationship between state and citizen.

    Unlike physical cash, which remains anonymous and decentralized, CBDCs are the opposite. Fully transparent. Fully controlled. Fully dependent on whether your actions are approved by authorities.

    The most dangerous feature is programmable money. Specific mechanisms already being tested or discussed include expiration dates for currency, spending restrictions on specific categories of goods, geographic limitations on where funds can be used, and instantaneous disconnection from the financial system without court proceedings or appeal.

    China's digital yuan serves as the pilot project for global control. Operating across 25 cities. Seven trillion yuan in transactions. Tied to identity through passport, phone number, and facial recognition. Already used to block accounts of protesters. Already linked to social credit scores.

    The European Central Bank is piloting the digital euro with a 3,000 euro holding limit. Offline functionality means delayed synchronization, not true anonymity. Denmark has already removed mandatory cash acceptance. Sweden is moving in the same direction.

    Canada's 2022 Freedom Convoy showed what is possible: bank accounts frozen by government order. With CBDCs, that operation takes milliseconds and requires no judicial approval.

    Cash is being systematically phased out. CBDCs are being systematically phased in. The window for maintaining financial privacy is closing.

  23. The digital euro: Europe’s bid for financial sovereignty.

    Behind most card payments in Europe stand two American giants, Visa and Mastercard – a dependence recently thrust into the spotlight.

    After issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, several judges at the International Criminal Court were sanctioned by Washington, leaving them unable to use their bank cards – even on European soil.

    Historical rant mode

    I’ve always hated that Finnish banks, for example, do not support the payto: standard. It would make payments really simple by using a channel- and platform-agnostic link.

    Someone mentioned that one Finnish bank (I don’t remember which one) supported it, but most do not. In practice, I have never actually seen it used.

  32. Eurosystem sets out comprehensive strategy for future of European payments with four strategic aims:
    1. To ensure the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial stability and the smooth functioning of payment systems by maintaining central bank money as the anchor of a two-tier monetary system
    2. To achieve strategic autonomy and increased resilience for European payments
    3. To foster an integrated, competitive and innovative payments ecosystem
    4. To support the international role of the euro
