It's pretty wild to see Lagarde explicitly framing the Digital Euro as a tool for sanctions evasion while simultaneously attacking Bitcoin for the same thing. 🚩

Her argument regarding the ICC judges is a total red herring. First, Bitcoin already exists as a sovereign, non-permissioned settlement layer for anyone facing extra-territorial overreach.

Second, her narrative ignores the EU Blocking Statute, which specifically protects EU citizens and entities from exactly this kind of "decisions made on the other side of the pond."

The Digital Euro isn't about "sovereignty" for the individual—it's about the ECB trying to build its own permissioned bypass while ignoring the sovereign tools we already have. 🧱⚡️
