The digital euro is far from being expected to completely replace with paper money. My reason for this is that to have this type of money, you always have an electronic devices with you, so i think its not good idea to completely replace with paper money
But you will agree the world is going digital and people are more comfortable making payments through digital means than with paper money. This will help reduce cash dependencies, it will promote low cost transactions, it will limit the risk of bank failures and improve privacy.
It is hard to see an adult who doesn't have access to a digital device no matter how outdated it might be. Paper money is gradually fading away. Ushering in an enhanced payment option with better efficiency and a more reliable alternative to our regular banking system.
