Regulation sometimes looks like a room too neatly arranged. Nothing sticks out. Not a draft. And that's precisely what Vitalik Buterin criticizes about the European Union: wanting a "clean" internet, without rough edges, to the point of reducing the oxygen available for crypto innovation. In a long message posted on X, the Ethereum co-founder points to the sore spot: the Digital Services Act (DSA) wouldn't just try to contain the damage, it seeks to eliminate the very space where controversial ideas are born.
