How? He clearly explained that there are genuine reasons to keep the currency and how it is a big ask to give it up.

I don't think that's a pride thing, it's a valid concern to have.

I feel that calling this a pride thing only serves to further alienate anyone that could be pro-EU, instead of attempting to address concerns they would have about rejoining.

They are genuine reasons if you see the future of your financial system separate from the financial system of the EU. A future member should show that it's willing to put all efforts to improve the financial situation of the common system and not just for itself. They just want to profit from the market, but if the financial system has problems, they would just act to their benefit - even if it would be harmful to the european financial system.
