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
I hope you're right. There are many critical voices now saying that it will replace paper money and that all our transactions will be traceable, which will lead to the end of our privacy.
In many other aspects Europe is well known for ensuring a framework of guarantees around the rights of its citizens, so these dystopian claims seem to me to be far from reality. But we will have to be attentive to see what it finally means.
