The proposal to ban private cryptocurrencies in the EU not only threatens cryptocurrencies — it also endangers the financial privacy of individuals. Private currencies like Monero and Zcash provide legitimate protection in an increasingly monitored world. Banning them does not prevent crime; it punishes ordinary users who value freedom, autonomy, and security. Financial privacy is a human right, not a loophole. We must resist shortsighted regulations that view everything private as suspicious. Protect decentralized technology and the right to transact without oversight. Speak up. Stay informed.
