USD Coin (USDC) and Binance USD (BUSD) operate in accordance with the regulations of the US regulators. There has been a lot of gossip about Tether (USDT) about its exposure to real assets. I have not seen a new audit for a long time.

I have said many times that it is not worth reading news about draft laws in Russia, because they change very often.
In Russia, large shadow markets, exchangers operate in all major cities.

OK.. since you are residing in Russia, you maybe having access to better information. For me it is confusing, because I have heard about contradicting news regarding the status of Bitcoin in Russia.

In other words, the USA is shooting itself in the foot. Who would have thought it. Just to think that Gaddafi was killed for wanting to sell oil in Euros. And Saddam Hussein the same. There you have the weapons of mass destruction.

The United States is misusing the position of USD as the global trade and reserve currency. This position enables them to take loans worth trillions, at extremely low interest rates. In short, US is getting rich at the expense of other countries (who use USD for international trade). But there is no alternative available as of now. Other fiat currencies (including EUR and CNY) are even more prone to inflation when compared to the USD. I would prefer a decentralized currency such as Bitcoin, but only two countries have made it legal tender till now.

Believe me, if he lives in the RF, he does not have better information about anything, particularly about anything happening in the RF.
Sarcasm?
Russia is a very big country, if you were in Moscow, it does not mean that you were in Russia. Each territorial subject of the country has a completely different economic situation.But there are no problems with cryptocurrencies in Russia, because there are enough other problems in Russia now.
3483  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: SCAM EXCHANGE MONITOR: BestChange on: July 07, 2022, 01:18:52 PM
I saw few threads against Best_Change in the past. If my memory is correct, I do not think the feedback manipulation never was in anyone's mind before. If they had the same feedback system where there are no negative were visible then it proves my argument of eyeballs on only the positive random rating numbers. I think our brain is designed not to pay attention in flat numbers.

0/20, 0/10, 0/50, 0/32, 0/87 if these are some feedback data presented on a table to quick look then you are lost on the numbers that are changing at the right but while you are lost on those numbers, you are not really paying attention on why in the left all are 0.

I also remember some threads, resolved positively, but although you are replying to me, you are not answering my point: there are quite a few people on the forum using Best Change regularly. What are the chances of none of them being scammed over the years if Best Change have been twisting the rating system so people can be scammed and they just cash in a commission.

I believe that in this, o_e_l_e_o and I have a quasi-ideological opposite position. For him companies in general are evil and do anything to make money, including scam people.

What I know more closely are small and medium companies and I say that a company that does not treat its customers well does not last long in business. I don't even take into account scam because in the physical world a small or medium company that scams ends up with its owner in jail.

Another thing would be big megacorporations.

I have been using this service for a long time, my friends and I exchanged a lot of cryptocurrencies there.
If you are interested in negative points, then:
very rarely there were delays with exchanges, there were even situations when the exchanger blocked large amounts, because its crypto exchange blocked this transfer.
All problems were solved, but mostly 99.9 % of exchanges occur without problems.

Here my friend will change bitcoins in the ledger, he thought it was a decentralized service. Coins are locked.
Even if it were a decentralized service, you should not change large amounts at a time.

"Ethereum на один шаг ближе к "Слиянию" - его долгожданному переходу к блокчейну proof-of-stake. Сегодня еще одна из тестовых сетей, Sepolia, выполнила собственное слияние и перешла на PoS.

Разработчики Ethereum протестировали слияние в двух публичных тестовых сетях, Ropsten и сегодня Sepolia. Следующий тест будет проходить в тестовой сети Goerli. После этого основная сеть Ethereum перемещается, что означает, что вся сеть будет безопасно использовать алгоритм proof-of-stake. Однако это было давно: разработчики Ethereum обещали перейти к proof-of-stake в течение многих лет, но процесс пережил несколько задержек. Ожидается, что слияние будет полностью завершено до конца этого года."

Ethereum's Sepolia Testnet Successfully Switches to Proof-of-Stake
"The Sepolia proof-of-work chain merged with its proof-of-stake chain on Wednesday, taking Ethereum one step closer to its own Merge moment.

Sepolia was the second of three public testnets to run through the Merge. After this, Goerli is expected to merge.
The network went to proof-of-stake (PoS) when the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) exceeded 17,000,000,000,000,000. That occurred around 17:00 UTC.
In the hours since the testnet merge happened, no significant glitches have been reported.
The Sepolia merge was a two-step process. Ethereum announced that first the operators needed to update their consensus layer and execution layer clients together. That then activated two phases: the first at an epoch height on the Beacon Chain and the second upon hitting the total difficulty value on the execution layer.
The testnet merge takes the project one step closer to Ethereum's mainnet upgrade later this year. The first testnet merge, Ropsten, was completed on June 8."

Sweet!  I could use a barge full of diesel and JP4 for my yacht and airplane.  I plan to tour the world laughing at all the cold hungry idiots who got taken by the climate scammers and hit with Biden's energy hikes, food shortages, and etc.

This is not accurate. Bitcoin is not a legal tender anywhere in the Russian Federation (including the 22 constituent republics). Just yesterday the Roskomnadzor blocked access to Bits.media, which is one of the most popular crypto news websites in Russia. And the Duma is about to vote on a bill, that will prohibit the usage of Bitcoin for making payments. Bitcoin miners also need to prove that they are converting their mined coins to fiat currency inside Russia (they can only exchange BTC for foreign currency).

3489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why does Owner of the token/coin when it has value always change Smart Contracts on: July 06, 2022, 10:20:04 AM
As a bounty hunter, I will definitely be happy to receive the results of the campaigns that have been followed in this forum, but I myself am confused why the Owner always replaces the smart contract even though the token/coin is already known. what is the meaning of the tokens that have been distributed to participants, is it just for fun?
Previously, projects collected investments in the ethereum ecosystem, because many people use this ecosystem. Then they built their own blockchain (like an EOS) or went to other ecosystems or developed smart contracts for the tasks of the project. The first smart contract was usually for receiving investments.
3490  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: How does the IRS look at anonymous bitcoin? on: July 06, 2022, 10:13:42 AM
Any idea how many people are buying/selling bitcoin and have not paid taxes?

I'm sure there is a trend here. The first few years nobody would pay taxes, unless it was huge amounts that they wanted to legalize. As time has gone on and there are more and more centralized exchanges, more KYC etc, more and more people pay taxes.

If you have low undeclared amounts it is easy not to get caught. For example, let's say a friend sold you $200 in Bitcoin some time ago, which today is $800. It is easy to spend those bitcoins and the IRS will not find out. But if you have 10 undeclared Bitcoins you have a problem, especially if you want to spend them.



Thanks, yeah how about like 1 entire bitcoin? Lets say someone bought bitcoin every couple weeks over time and has 1 bitcoin. Bought via exchange, and ATMs that don't require ID and just converted to XMR, sent to another address and converted out to bitcoin. So there aren't many records.

And lets say the individual is not going to spend or sell the bitcoin until it reaches 1 million dollars... which could be in the far far future, 20 30 maybe 40 or 50 years from now. Something that makes it possible that records held by the ATM and exchanges could be gone if those exchanges go out of business.



And, if someone had 10 anonymous bitcoins.... I'm thinking they should wait till it goes up past 70k again and move to a more tax forgiving country, or a country that will not be afraid to tell the US to go F-off... And honestly there are few nations that will do that, maybe Russia? Although being prepared to follow all the laws of this new country you have moved to because you've burned your bridges.
If bitcoin is popular in 20-30 years, then there will always be shadow markets in the world.
In Russia, there are no problems with exchanging cryptocurrencies for fiat and vice versa, and in other countries there are groups in telegram channels where you can exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat. There are many exchange offices in Turkey.

3495  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Web5 a "catch phrase"? on: July 05, 2022, 09:07:55 AM
A while ago, Jack Dorsey proposed a new solution to truly decentralize the web. He calls it "Web5". Apparently, this will be Web 3.0's successor powered by the Bitcoin blockchain itself. From a maximalist point of view, this would mean Bitcoin will be used for everything you do around the web. It will act not only as a currency, but also as a platform for decentralized applications, ownership registry, decentralized identities, and more. Isn't this what Ethereum and other copycat smart contract platforms (BNB, Cardano, TRON...) are doing? If so, then "Web5" would be no different than "Web 3.0" itself. It could be a catch phrase to lure as much investors into Jack Dorsey's little project.

What do you think? Is Web5 really a catch phrase? Or is it completely different from Web 3.0? Do you think we may be too early to replace "Web 3.0" even when the world is stuck with Web 2.0? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Smiley
Web3 protocol is just being formed. The developers tell us they are talking about a blockchain-based decentralized internet and that all data will be stored on decentralized nodes.
But most decentralized nodes are located on centralized servers. All important data is located on centralized servers. I don't believe in this technology because it is based on centralized technology.

A lot of traders are waiting for this gas fee to reduce their prices.
Just look at today's fees - https://etherscan.io/gastracker


Incredible. It will be a crime not to use that change and sell everything "low valued" from the wallets or not to move and create NFT offers right now.

I wonder where are those that were shouting that Ethereum network is expensive to use. And I wonder what those who migrated to BSC feel.

I think current price is the best time to get rid of all garbage and exchange it into something that will be first to recover.
At such a market, the price of junk tokens is also minimal. But such commissions will allow these tokens to be transferred to centralized exchanges in the hope of waiting for new growth.If you have small amounts, then level 2 solutions are great for avoiding low fees.I trade in the Matic ecosystem, and I use Matic to withdraw funds. It is available on many exchanges.

The best buy of bitcoin was when its price fell below the realized price.
If the situation repeats, then now is the time to buy bitcoins. The price might drop a little lower, but it can't drop below $10,000 because the miners will be in trouble.
3500  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are we gradually approaching towards the end of Bitcoin? on: July 03, 2022, 11:10:05 AM
When market participants have a negative opinion in the first place, then it's time to buy. Bitcoin is a good indicator of the stock market, first the price of bitcoin falls, then the stock market falls. European and American regulators have no complaints about bitcoin, which means that the coin will have a future.
