>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 did consider the possibility that this "digital euro" wouldn't be a replacement currency, but a bonus one, to use alongside traditional currency, for small daily transactions. But when the current credit/debit card infrastructure already works so well, for transactions of any size, why even bother? You either attempt to replace the old credit/debit card entirely, or you give up. There is no point to have another way to buy a bag of chips, if I can just as easily do with with my debit card.
You could argue the digital euro would be more secure, but I need transaction security for large sums of money transacted, not for 50euro exchanges.

In a way, it reminds me of our economy during communism. People still had money, and owned things, but you could actually end up making more money than you could spend. Groceries were rationed, quite heavily, and it's not like you could keep buying appliances or furniture all the time either. You couldn't even buy more than one house, cause your home was kinda government issued anyway. You were heavily limited in what you could do with your money.
That's what WEFniggers want, they want to bring back communism but this time with cool tech widgets (24h surveillance) and buttsex
My boomer dad did that all the way into the 80's

I keep telling Americans that their "but I need my bank credit score to get a house loan" is the most retarded thing they do. 
If you use a credit card, instead of a debit card, you're already failing at life.
If you pay your cards before the interest hits, you mostly win. I only use my card for things I would normally buy with debit, and the points get used on next months balance. It’s “free” money and I’m not paying interest. Read the card terms and budget accordingly so they don’t eat your lunch.

And at the same time Americans bitch about the Chinese social credit system, when they have the banks controlling their lives this way.

The problem is, that some people just cannot face the fact that one day, they will die.
It is the first and oldest philosophical dilema for a reason.

News media is relentless and is designed with the sole purpose to upset people and limit their behavior.

Yeah, that shit it so fucking disgusting.
I know I should never be rude to employees, but bloody hell, this is pushing me over the line.

That's not why financially responsible people use credit cards. You don't want to use your debit card to pay on the internet if you can use Discover that gives you points and will protect you from fraud. You can still pay your bill on time and pay no interest.
we have something called IDEAL which is basically online debit card
and it pretty much works with everything
so that is what we use

Again....
What?
@LukeAlmighty @dj @Fiddle @DIEPEEDODIE
Probably bought into bank propaganda. There's no inherent reason why a credit card would protect your security any better than a debit card.
I've had my personal info sold before and gotten fraudulent charges on my card that were caught and reversed. With a debit card they can wipe out your checking account and banks are less likely to help. Maybe different in your country.
but im in a Unique situation
@dj @Fiddle @DIEPEEDODIE @LukeAlmighty
Sounds more like your bank lied to you because they were too lazy to fix your stuff. Also, you can have multiple accounts to your name, and only one of them be tied to the actual debit card. So unless you're really bad at managing your money, they can't wipe out everything by just having your debit card.
but my dad literally paid of 1 credit card with another credit card
but his Sons name on another credit card and basically had to buy out half his pension fund to not go to jail for fraud
