What we know about the digital euro
Despite all the euphoria of recent years, cryptocurrencies have not been able to shake the dominance of classic central bank currencies. Instead, they should now become more digital themselves. Preparations for the digital euro are also progressing in Europe. But fans of cash need not fear: the European Central Bank intends to offer coins and notes as long as there is demand for them.

What you need to know about the digital euro now
The fact that the European Central Bank has been working on the digital euro for years is mainly due to the fact that cash is becoming less and less important. Cashless purchases, on the other hand, are mainly processed by US service providers. The e-euro could also help against this – even if it is still unclear how exactly it is supposed to work.
It would be possible for banks to obtain the digital euro from the European Central Bank, just as banks now also receive euro notes. Alternatively, the European Central Bank could also manage the digital currency on its own accounts.
It may take some time before these questions are resolved. In all likelihood, there will be no digital euros before 2026 anyway.
If you are looking for qualified employees, you should think carefully about what requirements are placed on applicants. According to a recent survey, one third will not apply if the job advertisement requires a cover letter. Almost as many potential applicants are deterred when they are asked to submit a photo of themselves.
The range of e-cars still consists largely of sedans and SUVs. According to a media report, Volkswagen is now also working on a small electric car. The vehicle could come onto the market under the name ID 1 and should cost less than 20,000 euros. The e-car could later also serve as the basis for similar vehicles from the various VW sister brands.
How much the big blockbuster games cost often remains a secret from the manufacturers. However, as part of the legal dispute surrounding Microsoft’s takeover of Activision Blizzard, the development costs of two top-class games from Playstation manufacturer Sony have now come to light.
According to court documents, the action role-playing game “Horizon Forbidden West” was developed by around 300 people over a period of five years. The costs should amount to 212 million US dollars. 200 people worked on the hit game “The Last of Us Part 2”. The project is said to have swallowed up a total of 220 million US dollars.
