I read some about Craig on Reddit recently, why hasn't (any) one of the world's finest legal systems put him in jail yet? Even with money troubles, he seems to be able to find decent lawyers. Maybe with the current case his luck will run out, stay tuned...
If one clown is put in jail, another clown will take his place. If he wants to spend millions of money on useless courts, this will lead to his bankruptcy. One should not feel negative towards such people, but I do not want to wish him success. Let him continue to amuse the crypto community with his antics. I'm not really sure if he can go broke because of his court case, he seems to have a lot of money already and that's why he is willing to go court and spend his millions. But I do agree that we all know that he is just a clown in crypto and he has lost all his reputation here. And with that, yeah, let him used all his money, but we all know what the truth is. And the more he tries to proved something that he is not, the more he is being mock by bitcoiners. Craig Wright is a good specialist with a good education and extensive experience in the world of cryptography. He even managed to trick Gavin Andnrsen in 2016 when he was required to sign a message on one of the first 50 bitcoin wallets. There are huge profits at stake. This is the copyright of Bitcoin and the shilling of its own coin as Bitcoin SV. |

@zasad@. The second quarter on 2024 is also when the halving for bitcoin occurs and after the trial if the jury rules a favorable verdict for Ripple, then it appears that the maker of the matrix really wants to give us a bull market hehe. Also if the date of approval of the spot ETF's are signed close to the date of a favorable verdict, I reckon we should ask ourselves if we are living a simulation hehehehe. Is it supposed to be as easy as this?
I think that the trial may be a little delayed and there will be no jury decision in the second quarter. SEC can hold out with a spot ETF's verdict before the bitcoin halving, but I have another question, how to get hamsters to sell bitcoins before the pump? If your scenario is correct, then in autumn and winter there should be maximum negative on the crypto market so that hodlers sell cryptocurrencies, otherwise the pump will be unprofitable for the manipulator. |

Я полностью разделяю прогноз о том, что обяжут. Но ведь это ж вообще ставит крест на бизнесе! «Хочешь получать прибыль - получай её, но принадлежать она тебе не будет.» Кто будет вести бизнес в таких условиях?
Предпринимательство это такая штука, которую фиг убьёшь. Судя по тому, что даже там, где были статьи за спекуляцию, находились те, кого это не останавливало, это из тех особенностей личности, которые бывают от природы. Как ни зажимай, предприниматель всё равно будет предпринимать. А если посмотреть на развитие бизнеса в стране в целом, то рост гос. сектора экономики, как нередко официально говорят, давно превысил 70%, при этом доля малого бизнеса упорно никогда не растёт выше 20%, даже несмотря на то, что про иные крупные бизнесы известно, что они оформляются как конгломераты мелких. И я бы сказал, что цифровой рубль в этом плане вряд ли станет критически важным аспектом в этом вопросе, есть много тех, что уже повлияли совсем не положительным образом настолько, что переплюнуть будет сложно. Реальная доля бизнеса выше, это данные из википедии https://ru.wikipedia.org/, но точное количество не знает даже статитстика, а эти люди на чтото живут около 4 млн человек — безработные, находящиеся в поиске работы (около 5 % экономически активного населения)
от 25 до 38 млн человек — нигде официально не работающие, не ищущие работу и не учащиеся трудоспособные граждане (в том числе, в теневой занятости) (около 35 — 40 % трудоспособного населения)
около 1 млн человек — официально зарегистрированы в Центрах занятости
И платить налоги этих людей можно заставить только тотальным контролем, но бартер из 90х может вернуться  |

Ruble has considerably weakened so far this year. At the beginning of the year, it was trading against the USD at a rate of 1 USD = 60 RUR. Now the exchange rate has gone down to 1 USD = 97 RUR. The fact that the Russian government is allowing this to happen, tells us what are their priorities. When the exchange rate goes down, it benefits the exporters. Those who export grain, oil and gas from Russia are benefitting from the devaluation of the Russian Ruble. At the same time, imports will be down since they have become more expensive. Perhaps this is what the regime wants.
And the government cannot make a currency corridor, because this will lead to the growth of the shadow market. The exchange rate of the ruble is falling because more products are imported into the country than are exported from it. And this is a great opportunity for businesses to earn good money by opening production facilities in Russia. |

Before this year 2023, people were launching projects with whitepaper, roadmap and promote those projects with Their team. Memecoins were few but this year, situation is changed. Everybody is busy launching memecoins, no whitepaper, no roadmap. 8 projects are memecoin out of 10 projects.
It seems, this year will be full of memecoins. What do you think? Why memecoin launching is increasing so much in this year?
You say that the memcoin market is growing although you do not provide official statistics. I think that new coins are constantly appearing in this market, but only those users who are subscribed to special channels and news receive information about them. If you go to the communities of degen traders, you will also be surprised by the huge number of useless projects. |

Sometimes I think.. If now we have a fast network with ecology as prosperous as ETH and low tax Why we need L2 network and ETH..It seems like a deficient network repairing itself constantly. And POS is without justice that the strong will always be stronger.Blockchain need justice and every one is equal. I want to see you mates' opinion.And if possibile,please recommend me the best cryptocurrency undervalued now thx.  If you think that something is working unfairly, then you have not understood the system. L2 solutions allow you to scale the ethereum ecosystem, and ethereum makes it possible for its large owners to earn 7-10% of annual profit, which is very good for a large capital. |

It is already at the point. Very soon we will witness the migration happening. It may start from moving offices and branches and lead to total exit of the US market. We all understand how formidable the US market is, but immediately one discovers how to do without the market, others will follow.
I'm not sure I get it. You say it is already happening but then the migration is yet to happen. Do you happen to know which business is leaving the US completely that was based in the US from the beginning? I can only recall Bitrexx and other exchanges that were based overseas like Binance. Personally, I don't think a business like Blackrock will do that. I guess we'll just wait and see if the US crypto market will be dead completely or if will it stay with stricter regulations in the future. Can a crypto casino die in the US? Tax legislation in the United States works great in the field of cryptocurrencies, which means that after regulation there will be a new entry of crypto companies into this market. Therefore, new crypto exchanges will soon appear on the US market, and unnecessary competitors will be kicked out. |

I do not think that anyone who buys or trades bitcoin for $10,000 will refuse to compete basic KYC verification. Whoever wants to buy bitcoin without spending it does not require to pay tax or prove his identity, but when he wants to sell, he will be asked for it.
Data such as the name, address, and government ID are data that some give to social networking applications such as Facebook, (which are known for selling data) in exchange for his page to return to work or to restore the Instagram account.
Tax evasion is a crime and many would be afraid not to try to tell the authorities what they have in Bitcoin.
In the US, you are required to declare your purchases of cryptocurrencies and pay tax on capital gains and tax on the sale of cryptocurrencies. But I know that in Miami you can exchange cryptocurrencies for cash dollars without asking private money changers. Therefore, not everyone is afraid of the tax, or only tourists do it. I don't know. |

https://www.theblock.co/post/244015/jury-trial-dates-set-for-next-year-in-long-winded-ripple-case"Judge Analisa Torres ordered a trial by jury last month for Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen over whether they are liable in illegal securities sales to institutional investors who bought hundreds of millions of dollars worth of XRP. Dates are beginning to be set for a jury trial in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Ripple Labs. The court is planning to schedule a jury trial for the second quarter of next year in the Southern District of New York, Judge Analisa Torres said on Tuesday in a pretrial scheduling order. "

I do not know if that's real or not, but there will not be any developer who would be willing to do that because after they release it, it's no longer their problem. It is purely ran by the people and there won't be any dev that can control it. That's why it's called defi, it's decentralized, so there can never be anyone who can ask us KYC in the logic of it, it's just not possible.
Of course you can try, but the simplest result would be people picking an non-American nation to build it, and just release it, then they will not care about what SEC or anyone else says about it, they do not even have to share their own KYC, which means that USA wouldn't even know who started it, could be an American as well and they wouldn't know.
You can create any DeFi project, but you will not attract investments into it if you are anonymous and do not pass mandatory audits. Most likely, you will be forced to build a fallback shutdown into the smart contract to pause or slow down the project if there is a hack. DeFi projects are no longer decentralized. |

https://www.dlnews.com/articles/regulation/crypto-privacy-battle-started-by-words-inserted-in-2021-law/In 2024, US businesses will have to collect the name, address, and government ID of anyone who uses more than $10,000 crypto to buy stuff. Crypto think-tank Coin Center sued the government, arguing the rules equate to illegal financial surveillance. A judge recently tossed the lawsuit, saying it wasn’t ripe. Coin Center has appealed the decision. Time is running out for the crypto industry to fight a new law that will force US businesses to collect personal information on people who use digital assets worth more than $10,000 to buy stuff. The new rules will snap into action on January 1, 2024.

@zasad@. However, there might be a problem with that definition because uncle Gary can declare any project that has issued a token a fraud and a ponzi scheme. Ethereum, Uniswap, Sushiswap, Curve, Convex and many projects in DeFi issued a token but they never scammed the buyers. Is it right for Gary Gensler to crackdown on them because for the old holders of those coins to profit, new buyers must come in?
I reckon that you are one of the people in this forum who knows that a project that has issued a token should not be automatically declared a ponzi scheme.
I don’t understand why you compare cryptocurrency projects with a Ponzi scheme. Projects like StepN are like a Ponzi scheme, but there are a lot of legal issues. The SEC is fighting the illegal sale of shares, and the main question now is which token is a share and which token is not a share. There is a court practice that says that the company will pay fines and penalties from the amount received at the ICO. For projects like Ethereum, this is a ridiculous amount, but it is not certain that the SEC will sue Ethereum. I am not comparing or implying that DeFi projects are ponzi schemes. I am saying that because of the SEC's broad definition of what a ponzi scheme is, uncle Gary can use this definition to declare many projects in the cryptospace as ponzi schemes and crackdown on them. The SEC's fight against the cryptospace by using the howey test has become questionable after Ripple won their case. Uncle Gary's next fight will be about ponzi schemes and as already mentioned, their definition is broad and they will apply this as much on the cryptospace as possible. I appreciate your opinion, but in my opinion you are overcomplicating the situation. The SEC has a lot of work to do in the coming years, because a lot of projects have collected investments on ICOs and, with a sane amount of a fine, they are all ready to pay money without courts. But Gary Gensler doesn't stand much of a chance of staying in office after next year's US presidential election. |

@zasad@. Agreed and it appears Paypal's entry in the stablecoin market might encourage other leaders in the traditional payment processor industry to create their own stablecoins also, which will certainly be enough to take away the influence of Tether and takeover much of the volume in the cryptospace market.
I have speculated that Tether might bring the crypto edition of the Big Short, however, should we really celebrate if Paypal and other traditional payment processors have taken over the stablecoin market? This might be a similar situation as Binance and the take over of traditional finance, the real criminals.
I have studied PYUSD. https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/64d3a7987491e75ef9a15c6dThe prospect is very doubtful due to the risk of high fees for ERC-20 tokens. USDC capitalization has fallen by 30 billion over the past year because the crypto community does not trust the American regulator and companies. Tether looks more secure, but they will also have problems due to new regulations. ___ 💩💩💩 https://twitter.com/pashovkrum/status/1688591468498239496 |

But the consequence is that many viable businesses will have to leave the US to other countries. It's also good news to other nations that these businesses will move to.
I honestly doubt it will go to that point, especially if the business is based in the US, to begin with. It is likely that they will move some offices to other countries or use other means to bypass the regulation that slows down their business, but unlikely to move outside the US completely unless they can go to Europe or China. Paying a fine once in a while is probably more profitable for the business involved compared to losing access to the US market altogether. CMIIW. All crypto companies open business in other countries and try to make sure that there are no legal ties between related companies, because these are big risks for the whole business. Now in this business there is a lot of regulation and a very expensive threshold for entering such a business, so there will be few newcomers. |

What made you go through the KYC procedure?
There are a lot of scammers in the cryptocurrency sector in the US, Canada and Europe, although many users think that these countries are safe and there are fewer scammers there.
In order not to be deceived, you need to wait for the company to prove itself in the market and earn a reputation, so that it would not be profitable for it to disappear with money or user data.
You said it rightly. Haven verified that the company was based in UK, I had some level of believe in the project. I had thought that SEC was effective and hard on them. It was based on this believe of mine that I went deep into the project and in the end I lost much. The reason I completed KYC was this; KYC was not said to be a prerequisite, but when they claim the bond is matured, I was then forced to complete KYC as a compulsory requirement for the investment exit. I had acquaintances who opened companies in the UK, but they had never been to this country. Maybe now there are more serious requirements for the opening of firms, but for a long time I do not believe that in these countries the interests of non-citizens will be protected.If I want to invest in companies, then it is better to use the stock market, where there is very tight control. You are right! Even when I tried to take a legal action in UK and I had a representative, the gesture was that the case won't be treated as important. It will need my presence in UK to facilitate hearing or whatever. I finally gave up. I had counted it as a mistake, it is better to invest in a decentralized project like bitcoin where everyone is treated equally or also in stock where there is tight control. Thanks for your advice. Nothing new in scam schemes. Fraudsters take advantage of the fact that the cost of legal fees and the costs of the applicant are much higher than the amount of lost funds. And if personal presence is still required, then the costs increase. And a lawyer cannot guarantee a 100% result, because it is unethical. Have you tried filing a fraud report in your country? Most likely there will be no result, but this will complicate the life of scammers in the future. |

Не знаю таких услуг, потому что банк никак не может распоряжаться этими рублями.
У каждого гражданина должен быть только один счет. Если его открыть в приложении сбера, то можно ли цифровым рублем распоряжпться а приложении другого банка?
Этими рублями банк распоряжаться не сможет, а втюхать другие услуги может.  Что касается счёта и доступа к нему, то, исходя их имеющихся анонсов, доступ можно будет получать через любой банк, в котором пройти соответствующие авторизацию, т.е. необязательно работать только через один, можно и через несколько, одновременно. А как получится в итоге на практике, увидим. Я думал об этом. С физлицами тарифы фиксированные, а значит зарабатывать на бизнес счетах, и скорее всего все коммерческие организации обяжут принимать цифровые рубли с 2025 года или раньше. И здесь схемы оптимизации налогов не будут работать. |
