As long as it can continue to be devalued through inflation and central banks— then, yes.

But unlike cash every purchase you make can be traced with a digital euro.

Naw, digital transfers are convenient saving both time and money for me and everybody else. However, trying to force people into digital transactions, or remove cash entirely is a huge problem. I always have a decent amount of hard currency on me, and occasionally use that money.

The majority of my transactions are done digitally however, purely because of convenience.

It’s possible to implement it in a way that purchases can’t be traced. XMR has proven that. But there is absolutely no way the EU is going to take that route, it will for sure be traceable

This depends on how the system is going to be designed and implemented.
