  • why do CBDC? SEPA/SEPA Instant already exists and can clear payments just fine without involving VISA/Mastercard. Will people recieve salary in this digital Euro account? probably not because banks lobby, they want cheap funding source i.e. customer deposits. most people wouldn’t want it since there is no interest paid (compared to tiny to moderate interest in savings accounts), you don’t have card even as an option. Like I don’t mind ppl using central bank liabilities for payments but the entire capitalist financial infrastructure is built around commercial banks. its just inconvenient having to transfer money between commercial bank and ECB wallets.

    It won’t destabilize existing financial system or result in bank runs, all banks in the Eurozone are ultimately backstopped by the ECB. bank lending isn’t reserve constrained, it is true that losing cheap deposits may reduce profitability of banks, but that’s it. they will be able to lend just fine because of ECB’s LTROs, TLTROs etc.

    the privacy argument against CBDCs is silly though. Commercial banks ultimately work because of Government, they use Government money for clearing. Governments can just ask them for your data if needed.

    Subsidize SEPA/SEPA Instant. Make it free, a public service. Market it by using the said arguments, people will use it more then. Maybe even force banks to issue cards like Mir in Russia or Unionpay in China.













    1. Yes its just a remote server that you can torrent on

    2. Yes you get SFTP and shell (non-root/root depending on which provider) access

    3. Yes, you can with Deluge, rTorrent etc which run on seedboxes

    4. Depends on the provider, some seedbox providers don’t support public trackers (or cap upload speeds)

    5. Depends on the provider, major ones like seedhost or ultraseedbox don’t. And yes they can see what you transfer, it’s a shared linux server.

    6. No, you need root access to run torrents over a VPN, not available on shared seedboxes but you can do it on dedicated servers/seedboxes.

    7. I’ve tried seedhost, ultraseedbox, whatbox.ca, hostingby.design. all pretty good.
