Private payments with a wallet on you phone is something the digital Euro is supposed to offer, if it ever arrives as designed.
The digital euro, as a digital central-bank currency, is the last thing we want from the perspective of privacy.

Right.
Because databases are never "hacked" and exfiltrated.
(By hacked, I mean most of the time it's social engineering.)
That just goes for all db.
I kinda disagree. Not just for the technical solution that is supposed to enable a fairly good level of privacy but also because I tend to trust ECB employees and ways of working as I've done a few projects with them.

What does a delicious chocolate spread consisting mostly of (now) palm oil and some hazelnuts have to do with this?
Private payments and digital Euro is something that does not go hand-in-hand imo. How big of a crypto fan I am, I don't like a state/governement/country/union coin.
Why are they so dodgy about Monero you think? Because of the illicit transactions? Nah.. this is just an extra factor
