I think that depends on how do you define PII. I suspect the ZKP proof or token is practically unique and related to you, so I could be personal data if you use the definition from GDPR. With ZKP the entity and the…

Some people argue that it is just for more government surveillance and control, but the government already could access your bank and card transactions and freeze or confiscate your money.
The difference is more a financial or legal thing, than a technical one. From an users' perspective paying with digital Euro would work more-or-less the same as you pay today with card, bank transfer or something based…
It gets interesting when the two system interacts. Friends visiting the US told me that at the POS terminal they had to choose credit card despite paying with a Visa/Mastercard debit card issued by an European bank. By…
AFAIK the ECB wants to have both things. Digital Euro being a CBDC could open up a lot of possibilities, but they want an unified payment system, too, and that would be a nice first job for digital Euro.
Not really. Euro cash today is paper / plastic banknotes and metal coins. Your account in the bank is not really cash you own, it is more like the banks liability towards you. If your bank fail, you loose the money you…
I theory it should be more. The ECB claims you will be able to hold and spend a (limited amount of) digital euro offline (without internet connection).
That's interesting argument. Here it is usual to have a daily limit on debit cards. You can not spend more money than that, so a thief can not drain your account. Also many banks give you multiple accounts (you can…
Probably it depends on what part of the world you are and on what is your goal, what you want to optimize for. In many countries there are usual systematic weather events where all renewable production goes to basically…

Maybe that's changes by country, but here bank transfers are basically final and can not be cancelled or recalled. Why would a bank cover your losses from their profits?
Chargebacks exists for (EU style) debit cards, too. It doesn't need to be simple just available, so if the merchant disappears with your money or someone uses your stolen card, there is a way you can get your money…
