ES has Bizum, NL has Tikkie, and iDEAL, IT has Bancomat, Poland has BLIK.

Thailand is just a country. Why are you comparing Thailand to the world's second biggest economy?

Are you really telling me that failing to coordinate several dozen countries, some with their own currency, is a showcase of failure of the EU?

This makes absolutely no sense.

Those services you mentioned along with some others (like German Giropay) have been connected under one umbrela of Wero in 2024.

That's whats so confusing about this Digital euro. Why not just push Wero? It already is cooperation of many banks that have presence all around europe. I guess difference is that Digital euro will be going through european central bank? That could be huge fail because by 2029 (when digital euro should start) SEPA instant payments with QR codes and initiatives like Wero will be super established.
