The thing about Europe is its economy is permanently stuck in the doldrums, a global cautionary tale. And no wonder. Europeans enjoy August off, retire in their prime and spend more time eating and socialising with their families than inhabitants of any other region.

Oh, and no EU leader has ever launched their own cryptocurrency.

YET, Economist. No EU leader has launched their own cryptocurrency YET.
