While people today are freaking out over the age verification laws, and rightly so, the first shot fired in this war was GDPR, which was largely welcomed with open arms because it offered "data protection" but the biggest problem with it imho is that it allowed the state to set a precedent of gaining jurisdictional authority over cyberspace. If the internet is truly borderless, how then are you distinguishing bytes of data as being European, American, Asian..? GDPR opened that door where the state could claim that because this data is "European" therefore it's protected under GDPR, which then morphed into your "unhosted wallet" in the EU (even though all your wallet is, is a signing device, it doesn't really contain the Bitcoin but whatever) is governed by MiCA, despite the fact that your corn REALLY lives on a GLOBAL Blockchain. I'm willing to be corrected if I am wrong as I am no legal expert or anything fancy. This could actually be foolish talk at the end of the day, but that's how I learn, so bear with me. If I am right though, it means that all of these laws are therefore illegitimate and thus null and void.
