Could you elaborate on the legal status of cryptocurrencies in Estonia? Specifically, I'm wondering if there are any regulatory frameworks that govern the use, trading, and ownership of digital currencies in the country. Additionally, are there any tax implications for individuals or businesses involved in crypto transactions? I'm interested in understanding if Estonia is a favorable jurisdiction for those looking to engage in cryptocurrency activities. Your insight would be greatly appreciated.
