Very cool! Thanks for the detailed tech blog explainer. Some, hopefully constructive, feedback: - You mention "other games" several times. It would be so much more interesting to read, if you named them. Your readers may know that

It’s not bs. France is lobbying for “Eurobonds”, debt they can take at German interest rates and with Germans etc holding the bag, for about two decades now. https://youtu.be/tMd7EfFsPIc (Video claims France is against them
