This is an AI-written article. Take anything written in as something it could have just made up.

huh that's interesting, I've never seen a disclaimer like that before. At least they're honest I guess.

The "article" seems to be a summary of this press release from the European Central Bank: https://www.ecb.europa.eu/press/pr/date/2025/html/ecb.pr251030~8c5b5beef0.en.html (and this site lets you choose a language, so there's not even need to run it through Google)

If that's the time it takes to do it right, then it's fine.

This is huge for the Euro and economic independence, better not mess it up.

Well, it's EU after-all, I would bet on bureaucratic stuff and such, would like to see an insight from somebody working on it.

Feels like it, yeah. I suppose there are quite a few hoops to jump through before it's ready for prime time. Every country has their own systems, interfaces and whatnot.
