This is a comment I'm posting for people who run into the newly erected "GDPR wall".

Yesterday the EU Observatory and Forum organised a workshop (the first of its kind), where people from technology, the legal profession and regulators came to discuss how GDPR applies to something so disruptive as blockchain.

For me it was very alarming with respect to the huge dampening and stifling effect GDPR could have (if the current interpretations prevail) for blockchain innovation. I've written a detailed personal account in this post "Blockchain and GDPR - A Call to Arms"
