>no more than 50euro
Good luck doing your shopping. If this thing is real, this will flop harder than Magikarp.

Even leaving aside the dystopic control the government wants to have on this thing, just first 4 points alone make it completely untenable as a currency. You can't buy your family groceries within the 50euro limit, the 1000euro a month limit is easily exceeded if you decide to buy an appliance in a particular month (assuming we ignore the first limit), the 50 transactions a month limit can easily be exceeded as well by an average city dweller, and people can and do have salaries more than 3000euro.

My conclusion so far is that this is a farce. A bogus copy-pasta someone made to fearmonger about EU authoritarianism. Which is weird, cause EU is already bad enough. You don't need to fearmonger.

I would focus more on the last point. Can be spent only in approved shops.

That means, that it will be about as useful as food stamps AT BEST.

@alyx @Fiddle
Or, take a look at the limit.
That limit makes no sense on either bartering side or shop side.
Because if a person can say: sorry, I cannot let you buy this, I have my 3k already, then that is a problem.

The 3000euro limit would presumably only apply to individuals, not businesses.
