Next, class. The European Union has gone crazy. It approved a package of measures that will ban privacy coins like Monero, Zcash, and Dash starting in July 2027. Yes, you read that right.

We always knew that crypto would clash with regulators. Now the game is heating up.
The question that remains is: who will be the next to follow this path?
And even more importantly: how far is it worth giving up freedom in the name of security?
