🚨EU’s War on Bitcoin Privacy

A Wake-up Call by nostr:npub1dnzzyhmewrzkh862z7z2shwmhh5htx0rvkagepj2fkgst9ptwg3qj4x52h

The EU is planning unprecedented restrictions on non-custodial #Bitcoin wallets that could reshape global #crypto regulations.

Here’s why every Bitcoiner should care:

• EU regulators are targeting private transactions and self-custody, potentially banning anonymous transfers and mixer services

• The upcoming #MiCA regulations will force stricter KYC/AML on crypto services, directly conflicting with breakthrough privacy tech like Lightning Network and Fedimint

Key Point: This isn’t just a European issue. As a global financial standard-setter, EU regulations typically become the blueprint for worldwide adoption. FATF will use any EU “success” to push similar restrictions globally.

Action Items:

1. Support Open Dialogue Foundation’s advocacy work

2. Educate your representatives about Bitcoin privacy rights

3. Build/Use self-sovereign solutions now

Remember: Your financial privacy is non-negotiable. The time to act is before regulations are set in stone.

OK what does this mean in plain English to a Bitcoiner who has been hodling and keeping funds in a seedphrase?
