My short take on issues of contention between GDPR and blockchain businesses.

It's hard to see who would be liable for violating privacy on a public permissionless blockchain solution.

Most identity proposals emerging for blockchain store identity information of chain. Again the identity owner retains the link.

Exactly Robert. That's the question. If they *do* store covreed info in the public block chain, it runs smack into the GDPR requirement for "right of erasure." I agre the solution *is* to store such info off block chain.
