Мне стало интересно, вы все такие интересные кошельки мониторите или случайно попалось на глаза?

Вроде как лежат на месте до сих пор:

Because it's all about the power, not about protecting investors. By doing that, SEC would be reducing their power. Without clear rules, they have a power to strike at any time at any crypto, or the entire industry if they wish to.


Sadly, the crypto industry has no strong lobby and is politically irrelevant. But even if they were, as SEC is deemed an independent body, Gensler's position is pretty safe, as long as he doesn't go against the SEC's Commissioners (who appointed him).

Moreover, SEC's actions are in line with the current administration's crackdown on crypto, known as "Operation Choke Point 2.0".

I expect that, POS currencies are centralized and removing them from the centralized exchanges means their end/

This depends on how Binance clean. I believe that they do some illegal behavior, such as manipulating the prices of altcoins through listing and delisting, some manipulation in the futures market, using customer deposits through that I do not expect that Binance will go far in judicial investigations because this means that more eyes will monitor its activity. They will abandon the US market, but they will try to make as much money as possible, and they may prefer to pay a settlement rather than go to court or try to give SEC what they want by sharing more data with them.

Hello folks,

Which of these two is safer in the face of what we are going through now? WBTC or BBTC? Is BBTC mandatory linked to Binance? That is, if there is a blockade of assets or non-parity between what it claims to have and what it actually has, can the BBTC lose the 1:1 parity?

Yes, of course, each of us needs to attempt to tailor our investment into bitcoin (if any) to our own situation - and we are both the best person to decide regarding what our allocation is going to be (if any) and how to go about getting to our desired allocation level, if we might not happen to be there yet.

Frequently, I have stated that it could take a person 10 years or so to merely get to something like 1 years worth of income saved up and hopefully allocated to some kind of an investment portfolio, and that would presume if someone were to be able to set aside 10% of their income per year and various factors associated with that - including choosing ways to invest and staying somewhat persistent and not fucking up too much - even though many times a lot of us know that a lot of mistakes can be made along the way in terms of building our investment portfolios - and even many times questioning if we are making progress or if our approach to how we are doing it is a good (and solid one).

There can be ways in which any of us might have some luck in our ability to build our investment portfolio faster than expectations, but sometimes if someone is younger in life they might not even be able to earn very much cash and may also be spending money on self-improvement such as college or vocational training.. and there can be a variety of ways that they might not be able to create a lot of discretionary income that would allow them to invest - but then there might be other circumstances in which some younger person might come into opportunities in which they are able to earn way more than they need to live and to thereby end up being able to save/invest large amounts of their income (such as 30% to 50%) which may also then accelerate their abilities to get to a decently sized investment portfolio and also have greater potential to reach fuck you status (if we might tentatively presume that entry fuck-you status might be getting to an investment portfolio size that might be somewhere in the ballpark of 20x to 30x of a person's expected annual cashflow needs).

Bitcoin does seem to provide for ways in which there are possibilities to accelerate the building of wealth - and of course, none of that wealth building is guaranteed.. and also there still can be quite a few ways to screw up, even if the intention might have had been not to screw up.

It is simple and depends on how much return you get from holding the cryptocurrency, is there a return or not? In Bitcoin, if you keep Bitcoin in your wallet for 10 years, your Bitcoin number will not increase because there is no staking.
According to what I read here if they hold an asset for 365 days you would receive about 5.67%, so Dash is listed https://www.coinbase.com/earn/staking/dash#:~:text=This%20means%20that%2C %20on%20average,being%20staked%2C%20is%2038.99%25.


I think that all that happens is that these systems do not conflict with the policies of the Federal Reserve, which gives a return of less than 5.67%, so all currencies that give a higher return will be included in that list.

Why can't he just make up his mind, considering that he has no problem listing a slew of other cryptos as securities.

Hell, why don't they make some framework on what makes a crypto a security in the United States (the Howey Test is not specific enough)?

This kind of waffling is really going to end badly for Gensler and the SEC since basically the entire crypto industry has turned on them.

Instead of fighting scams they are busy debating what is a security or not. Cybercriminals win.

DASH is not a security, it is basically ancient Bitcoin Core tech and bitcoin is not even considered a security

It's hard to feel sorry for the rest of these coins though, as most of them are being used for relentless profiteering from pump&dumps. For example, "Axie Infinity" LOL - is there anyone who is not using it purely as a money-making scheme? A token for bankrupt Voyager? And similar cases can be made against most of the other coins as well.

Contacting the victim of the scam is not a good idea. I understand that since the amount was small, you may have decided to take such a step.

Before you decide to settle with anyone, first make sure that you have the freeze notice copy from the bank.

If the bank is not cooperating, you can lodge a complaint with the bank's nodal officer.

You can get the nodal officer's email via the bank's official website or through Google.

e.g., https://sbi.co.in/documents/53471/91871/NODAL+OFFICER+LIST.pdf

Once you have sent a complaint, you will get a reference number. Keep that handy.

If your complaint isn't resolved within 30 days, then you can use the reference number to lodge a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman here:
https://cms.rbi.org.in/cms/indexpage.html#eng

The bank is legally bound to give you the notice copy since it's a vital document to prepare your defense. Article 21 of the Constitution of India guarantees this right.

If there is no instruction for a freeze, then you can lodge a complaint against the bank with RBI Ombudsman for an illegal freeze. In any other case, you will be required to take the help of a lawyer.

Oh, so that's what you mean. I guess people can do that as long as the requirement is not that difficult. I do have an overseas bank account opened through apps like Wise, but I believe they also need to follow regulations in my country to some extent.

If you know about bitcoin, then you would realize that if you do not have much of any, such as being a low coiner or a no coiner, then it is always a good idea to get some bitcoin as soon as possible.... which includes figuring out a plan in regards to how much BTC that you are going to want to have in your investment portfolio which should not be none... as far  as shitcoins, such as your reference to cryptocurrencies, there is no need to get any of that... so staying on zero may well be a good idea when it comes to crypto.

Since sometime after March 2020, I had been recommending that newbies to bitcoin start out somewhere in the ballpark of a 1% to a 25% allocation of their investment portfolio into bitcoin, prior to March 2020, my recommended starting target investment/allocation range was 1% to 10%.

Accordingly, the actual target number will depend on the person, and each person should be trying to figure out specifics of his/her own investment plan(s) including whether or not to go outside of what I am suggesting to be a beginning starting range to be considering for the bitcoin portion of the allocation.

Another thing is that hardly anyone even has any kinds of savings or investment plan (maybe some people own property or they have a 401k, which is better than nothing but still may well be inadequate), so frequently they need to work on getting their shit together and perhaps put themselves into a situation that they have some discretionary income in order that they are able to invest... no one can really tell anyone exactly how to get their shit together sufficiently enough in order that when they are investing into bitcoin with a portion of their income (also perhaps starting out somewhere between 1% and 25%), but then maybe they will not be able to invest $100 per week, and they might have to start at some lower amount such as $10 per week, and sometimes even $10 per week might be difficult for some folks,

....but still it seems best to get started (in terms of getting some kind of a bitcoin stake) even if the amounts might be small in the beginning.. and then figuring out the details as you go.. including improving your understanding of each of the following individual considerations, which would be your cashflow, how much bitcoin you have already accumulated, your other investments (including cash reserves), your view of bitcoin as compared with other investments, timeline, risk tolerance, and your time, skills, goals (investment/lifestyle targets) and your abilities to strategize, plan, research and learn along the way including tweaking strategies from time to time to consider trading, reallocating, use of leverage and/or financial instruments.

In the end, each person is responsible for themselves, including if they get their shit together, and including whether or not they get off zero in regards to their bitcoin investment and including whether or not they get distracted into gambling mindset, such as failing/refusing to understand the difference between bitcoin and shitcoins and buying shitcoins rather than bitcoin.  Each person has the right to do what they like, including having fun staying poor (and maybe I am being a bit snarky with that statement, because one aspect of investing should provide options, including having an option to preserve and build wealth, even if the amounts might NOT be enough to cause a person to transition into richie status).
