While the authors peripherally acknowledge the existence of +token-based payment systems, the notion that a Digital Euro will somehow +require citizens to have some kind of central bank account is pervasive in the +paper. We argue that an account-based design cannot meet the ECB's stated +design goals and that the ECB needs to fundamentally change its mindset when +thinking about its role in the context of the Digital Euro if it wants the +project to succeed. +<br> +Along the same lines, the French National Council for Digitalization published +a report on ``<a +href="https://cnnumerique.fr/billets-et-jetons-la-nouvelle-concurrence-des-monnaies-le-conseil-national-du-numerique-publie-son">Notes +and Tokens, The New Competition of Currencies</a>''. Here, the authors make +related incorrect claims about inevitable properties of Central Bank Digital +Currencies (CBDCs), going as far as stating that a CBDC is not possible +without an eID system. Our paper sets the record straight. +</p> +<h4>Download links</h4> +<ul> +<li><a href="/papers/accounts-dangerous-2022.pdf">PDF (English)</a></li> +</ul> + +{% endblock body_content %} |
