      Any country joining the EU pledges to join the euro, but there are no deadlines defined and there is little animo to push countries to join, but technically it’s part of the deal.

      It would feel fair, but it’s also not that important for either the EU or the Euro itself.

      The Euro is really a 1990s invention, when cash was dominant. Now that all payments are digital, it really doesn’t matter if countries use the Euro or their own currency.
