Traditional jurisdictional tests fail for blockchain because the concepts of location and presence do not apply: the blockchain has no location, physical or electronic, and no single node holds the entire chain.

Source quote, verbatim

The concept of location or presence in jurisdictional means does not apply to the blockchain. A location for the blockchain does not exist - not physically or even electronically.
