That's why decentralization of business, power and other crucial infrastructure of public interest:


"The agreement between the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union on the EU Digital Identity Wallet is open to abuse and gives Brussels the ability to deny people rights and control them."

Scarry story from Eric Wall via X:
"there's now officially a situation in sweden
this monday, a middle-aged swedish couple was tied up in their home and robbed by 4 masked men. they were physically abused and threatened with their own kitchen knives. they were tied up for hours and one had to be escorted to the hospital via helicopter.
the purpose of the assault was to steal the couple's bitcoin
unfortunately, this is not a new occurence in sweden now. only last month, two well-known bitcoin/crypto profiles were targeted in their homes by masked, armed men
one of them had no physical bitcoin, but was physically abused for 3 hours. the other got away because only their spouse was home at the time.
the first time this happened was last year, one of sweden's most well-known bitcoiners had criminals break into their apartment
even though that person gave up a significant amount of bitcoin/crypto, they were physically beaten and abused for hours infront of their partner. that person was scarred for months and largely withdrew from public life after the assault
what appears to be common for each of these cases is that the victims had livestreamed a podcast about bitcoin/crypto days before their assault, or mentioned bitcoin in a public context
this situation is occurring because in sweden, you can easily search for any person's residential address and drive straight to their house. if you're curious, you can also search for their tax records, and find out exactly how much they paid in income or capital gains tax, and size them up from that
sweden is probably one of the least safe countries to be active in the cryptocurrency sector in at the moment. i've personally left sweden and i don't expect to return until the laws around personal privacy change.
"The Principle of Public Access to Information", known in swedish as "Offentlighetsprincipen" (the law that makes residential addresses and tax records public) is the main culprit behind this strangeness relative to other countries. while the intentions behind this legislation was to reduce corruption, it is not fit for modern society."
