A bit hyperbole headline, but good to hear that GNU Taler got some NGI funding.

It’s a medium to transfer funds from one place to another. It’s solving the same problem a different way.
No, you misunderstood what GNU Taler is.
It is a digital cash standard for existing currencies and banks. It’s not even the same category as Bitcoin.
It’s like using a credit card to pay for a drink vs doing a gold transfer.
Taler is anonymous to payer where Bitcoin transations are public, not wasteful for electrical power (https://digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption), almost instant and currency agnostic. Taler could also do BTC payments too.
