Europeans prioritize control over individual freedom. Once you accept this, the decisions made by ancien régime European bureaucrats become easier to understand. In this sense, Europe is much closer to China than the US. E.g., the UK's crackdown on encryption and EU laws like the Digital Services Act for online content removal, as well as limitations on cash payments. Another example is the issue of stablecoins. Free-market-driven stablecoins scare them because they can't control them, so CBDCs with full controls are being pushed at full speed. This is why crypto censorship resistance is crucial, especially for Europeans, to protect our privacy, self-custody, and ultimately, individual freedoms. Bullish ETH and #BTC as the most censorship resistant blockchains.
