> like, you know that if you're a german person in france, and you make a visa transaction, because visa is an american company, they still have american requirements, right?

But how is Ethereum an American company? How does that even compare? When I use visa I signed up for their bullshit. When using Ethereum I never agreed to the US intercepting my data just because a relevant node is randomly in their jurisdiction.

If a node Europe solves my transaction block I it's not an US transaction, isn't it?

You seem to be under the impression that the law doesn't apply until you agree to it.

That's not really the point the SEC is making.

The point the SEC is making is "look, some of this traffic is in America, so we have to figure out if this traffic is actually legal in America."

Did you have a pure European transaction? Cool beans, this doesn't apply to you.
