The Asians, Russians, Americans, and Brits must be laughing at how stupid Gheyrope is. Gheyrope regulates itself into technological stagnation and obscurity

The recent Anti-Money Laundering legislation specifically outlaws certain limits for cash transactions and anonymous cryptocurrency payments. Under these regulations, cash transactions exceeding €10,000 and anonymous cash payments over €3,000 will be deemed illegal.

The approved laws are expected to be fully operational within three years from their entry into force. However, Dillon Eustace, an Ireland law firm expects these laws to become fully operational before the usual enforcement timeline.

This characteristic lies at the heart of cryptocurrencies’ fundamental principles, offering a more inclusive, liberated, and equitable financial system that does not discriminate against its users in any form.

Experts
and freedom advocates consider this recent approval a hit against financial freedom and fundamental human rights. German MEP Patrick Breyer opposes the bill, claiming it compromises economic independence and financial privacy. He considers the ability to transact anonymously to be a fundamental right.

The crypto sector, known for its emphasis on privacy and decentralization, has responded critically to the EU’s regulatory measures. These new regulations have created mixed reactions, whereby some believe the new AML laws are necessary, while others fear they may infringe on privacy and hinder economic activity.

Is there an exact date for the introduction of such restrictions?

Maybe they should focus on clear rules and education instead of these blanket bans.  Transparency is key, but total restriction stifles innovation.  It's like trying to tame a  bucking bronco with a silk thread! On the other hand,  cryptocurrency can be a real jungle for newbies.  Wouldn't some guardrails be helpful  for folks just getting started?  It's easy to get burned without a map in this digital gold rush. Maybe there's a middle ground  we haven't considered yet.  And for those looking to dive deeper into the mining side of things, https://asicminercompare.com/ is a good resource for research.
