481  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: February 14, 2024, 10:58:48 AM
When you see how various criminals pass in front of the US judiciary, you are not surprised that Do Kwon obviously wants to avoid being extradited to South Korea at all costs.
In my assumption, the U.S tends to not handle financial crime cases the way it is handled in some Asian countries. For the United States they look for the best possible scenario, so being able to get Intel on many others involved in the crime or similar ones at the expense of a lighter sentence for the convicted criminal is an easy deal.

Some other countries see the prosecutions as a deterrent to others and want to make a public show of the punishments, which should be as stringent as possible.
The US budget makes a lot of money by taking away billions of dollars from such scammers. And the procedure for returning money to victims will be very long and many investors will not have enough funds and opportunities to qualify for payments.
But the criminal's agreement with the United States is valid only if he returns all the funds to the government. If the violation is discovered even after serving the sentence, the offender will receive a life sentence or more.
And this does not mean that after the trial in the United States, Korea will not stop hunting for Do Kwon.

Ethereum Validator Entry Queue Signals Renewed Interest in Staking
"The validator entry queue has jumped to 7,045, the highest since Oct. 6, according to data source ValidatorQueue.
The waitlist for new Ethereum validators is now the longest since early October.
The renewed interest in staking is noteworthy as the yield on staked ether remains below 4%."

Подскажите как вернуть на баланс монеты, залоченные при голосовании за парачейны (NUUM) ?
В доте у меня все само разлочилось через 2 года. Посмотрите дату лока, и проверьте на следующий день


Да вот не могу найти инфу,  лочил 1 декабря 21го, должны разлокать по идее уже. Кусама вернулась за neer, а ДОТ нет.

Что касается молчания на сайте учитывая размер DOT, то смотрится это странно.

Зачем на дне показывать активность? Должно быть полное разочарования у слабых рук - всё правильно делают.
Когда дот будет по 40$ - будут новости  Grin

Еще зависит через что вы лочили. Если это официальный сайт, то вроде разлок автоматом, если через другой смартконтракт, то зайдите на их сайт и подключитесть с вашего кошелька. Я записывал данные сайтов где лочил, даты и кошельки на всякий случай.

zasad@, спасибо за статистические данные. Кстати на графике видно, что летом 2022 было в штате 3000 специалистов, а даже год назад было 2880 сотрудников. Получается, что за год штат был сокращен почти что на треть. Будем наблюдать и за курсом и за штатом дальше. Помню. как активно крутили эту систему в 2022 году, на нее возлагали очень большие надежды. Многое так и осталось риторикой по крайней мере на данный момент.  
У многих проектов реально много лишних ртов, которые сократили. Проекты с комиссий не зарабатывают, но расходы несут. Подумайте кто за это платит и зачем?

~ А на какие риски вы готовы пойти с вашим желанием заработать?

Меня скорее интересуют активности, которые, возможно, помогут получить ретродропы в экосистеме Polakadot. Как я понимаю сейчас же не проводятся аукционы на парачейны? Обычный стейкинг только на крайний случай, т.к. деактивация слишком долгая. Может быть лендинг протоколы. Возможная потеря средств меня не пугает, т.к. это встречается не так часто, а если просто хранить средства на холодном кошельке, то их размывает инфляция.    
Для меня ДОТ, это диверсификация, и блокчейн децентрализован( относительно, о банах или блокировках ДОТ я не слышал).
Активности я бы поискал в Л2 эфириума, которые еще не выпустили своих токенов, это выгоднее. А в лендинг и прочее сомнительное я не лезу из за рисков за 15% годовых.
Я бы его купил сейчас и по году продал плюс 15-20%, если это цель на год.
486  Local / Альтернативные криптовалюты / Re: Polkadot - аукционы парачейнов on: February 12, 2024, 12:24:12 PM
Что-то представители Polkadot притихли, последняя новость на их официальном сайте датируется 21 ноября, а до этого новости выходили относительно регулярно. Сам курс Dot держится на плаву, хотя его конкуренты, тот же Космос показывают намного более значительный рост. За последние три месяца картина довольно сдержанная, в моменте когда все растут Dot просто идет в боковик.


На комиссиях заработка нет, но в экосистеме все еце работают 2100 разработчиков на постоянной и неполной занятости.

I always show my opponents this link so that they understand what decentralization is.
It is a decentralized ecosystem, but it is not in demand.  Or do you think that enthusiasts will provide good liquidity in such ecosystems?
There is no point in counting enthusiasts separately from the regular users. If at some point the decentralized ecosystem becomes more widely used, then it will have more liquidity because users provide liquidity. Currently there are lots of non-KYC CEXes that are arguably easier to use than DEXes and that is why all the "excess" liquidity goes to the non-KYC CEXes instead of the DEXes. If these non-KYC exchanges are forced to stop working or start requiring KYC, then all that liquidity will move to the DEXes.

https://defillama.com/chain/EthereumClassic
You are right that KYC and whitelisting are not the only way. The easiest way is to pay rewards to informants.
For crypto <-> crypto trades on non-KYC DEXes informants are pretty much useless because traders don't involve any third parties and the traders don't know each other because all traffic is routed via Tor and/or I2P.

Informants can and most likely are already used when trading crypto <-> fiat, because the side that sends fiat must know the recipient's identity to send the fiat. Or they meet in person, which allows easy identification of the two parties involved.

So crypto <-> fiat exchange is pretty much the only weakness of the cryptocurrencies that will be attacked by the governments. Any other limitations that the governments try to impose are mostly smoke and mirrors and I think it is good that the governments waste time and effort of something that will not work.

Any CEX says in the user agreement that they can require KYC and a source of funding from the client and much more. If you have 1-2 thousand dollars there, then there will be no questions until this amount exceeds 10,000 or more.
My friends lost money on such exchanges. They had several thousand and traded for several years. After transferring 20-40 thousand dollars to the exchange, their funds were blocked.

On the second point, I meant that people talk a lot. Even the most famous hackers were let down by their language and lifestyle.
488  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Do Kwon arrested on: February 11, 2024, 03:14:31 PM
So based on the article, he is being decided on where they will send Kwon right? Being arrested with false documents? It should've been more right? it's really hard to find the right justice for the people who are affected by Kwon's scam

In Korea, a new law has been passed under which Do Kwon will receive life in prison. In the United States, he will receive several decades of imprisonment if he gives up everything and cooperates with the authorities.
In Montenegro he can buy his freedom and justice because he has a lot of money. Therefore, Do Kwon will try to stay in Montenegro as much as possible.
489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What is your view and your opinion about Ethereum? on: February 10, 2024, 09:19:01 AM
The second most popular cryptocurrency coin is ethereum, Ethereum is ranked #2 in the cryptocurrency market place. Currently many people are investing in Ethereum and they say that investing in Ethereum can be more profitable than Bitcoin, because they say that when Bitcoin is 100k then Ethereum price will reach 10k. In this they can earn more than Bitcoin. Also, some are saying that once Ethereum's SEC charges are over, the price will rise so much that they will be able to profit more than Bitcoin.

What is your view and your opinion about Ethereum? You can share if you want.
Don't forget to visit the official thread.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.26180

I believe that investing in Ethereum is very conservative. This ecosystem has a great future and Ethereum is not threatened by SEC regulation. In the worst case scenario, the team will pay a small fine.
Investors prefer more dynamic assets, where the price can increase by 500-1000%, and Ethereum has little chance of such things.
490  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Crypto tax law in Germany. How does it work? on: February 10, 2024, 09:06:00 AM
But hey, in a country that even taxes every sports bet or poker hand you are playing (every time 5% of the amount bet or won), what else would you expect, right.

The bolded part cannot be so because by simple compound interest there could be no winning poker players, and Germany has produced a very good number of them. I think you are confusing the tax that is applied to pots or buy-ins with the tax that is applied to profits, to which income tax is applied.

As for the tax residency in Germany that the OP asks, it is the same as in other countries in Europe: you have to spend a minimum of 6 months living there.

This for people who are in the same case as the OP, living very close to a country with a better tax treatment, it is very tempting to rent a house to claim tax residency but without actually spending the required time. To this I have to warn that the tax authorities of the countries have become more and more sophisticated and can analyze things like electricity consumption or credit card payments and if you have not spent the minimum time you are going to have a problem.

Betting on sports in Germany the 5% tax has to be paid while making the bet. It doesn’t matter if the bet wins or loses, when you bet 100€ the amount shown on your betting slip will be 95€ since the tax is deducted immediately . About poker you are right.

About the residency, if you have a residency ( rented house or whatever in your name which is registered ) there is some tax you will pay , not only if you stay in Germany longer than 183 days. The 183 rule is for income tax. Gains from investments fall under a different tax as far as I know . This tax is called Abgeltungssteuer.

I don't know anything about taxes on cryptocurrencies in Germany, but I want to draw your attention to one very important point: 183 days.
From the experience of my friends, this does not work automatically. If, by law, you are not a tax agent of your country because you live in another country, then you must first deregister from the tax register in your country and then register with the tax office of another country.
491  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New SEC Requirement for DEX Liquidity Providers on: February 10, 2024, 08:58:53 AM
I have already written about how this system works. If you have 1000 dollars in your account, then there is no point in following you and wasting resources. You will either lose tokens or your balance will increase to such an amount that they will monitor you and wait until you make a mistake and transfer the tokens to the custodial service.
And many well-known large DEHs will work through white lists and KYC providers in a few years.

If the source code for these DEXes is distributed under GPL or a similar license, then it is pretty easy to fork the DEX codebase remove the KYC and whitelist checks and start the same DEX under a different name, without the KYC and whitelists. In that case I would expect that users and their money will move from the old to the new DEX.

The governments may try to make illegal development of KYC-less DEXes, but I am not sure if that will work either.

The most likely to work approach is to put under control the conversion of crypto to and from fiat. That approach will be especially effective once they replace cash and most of bank money with CBDCs.

I would like to discuss one point.
Zhao is awaiting trial in the US at the end of February. Previously, you read the news that the US government banned Zhao from leaving the country until a court decision and did not even let him out to see a sick relative on a huge bail of 4.5 billion dollars.

Why?
If Zhao does not come to court, he will lose a lot of money and will be wanted.
Is Zhao's fate now being decided or has it already been decided?

Is this a form of pressure or will Zhao get a prison sentence?

Gary Gensler may look like a clown sometimes, but he's no fool. Any collar should be put on gradually. At first the sum will be 50 million, and many people don’t care about it. Then the amount will decrease to 5 million, but it will be difficult to argue with this, because there will be large fines or prison sentences for violations. And in the United States, such crimes have no statute of limitations. And then this amount can be reduced to 100-500 thousand.
Yes, your point of view is reasonable, but here we have an important question: How will they be able to prosecute violators if they do not have the required information?

I mean for a DEX that doesn't enforce KYC and protects user privacy how are they going to force them to provide information? Does this mean they will force every DEX to submit to KYC, AML and anti-terrorism standards? Then all this sensitive information will be in the possession of the American government!!

Are there any liquidity providers that accept these new standards?

So here's my question bitcointalkers, how could crypto shape real world assets and AI positively? What potential excites you the most? Let me know your thoughts on these groundbreaking developments!
I think this is another advertisement for the sale of tokens. I wrote about similar projects 4 years ago
https://realt.co/
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5185915.msg54164595#msg54164595

These projects are developing very slowly due to restrictions in each country and lack of legislation, so now it is most like a centralized platform with white lists that works on the blockchain.
I too have seen reports of Real World Assets growing by 2030, but these platforms will not be decentralized and are not like the NFT market or Uniswap.

I do not exclude price increases in the range of 200-300 dollars, but I am not ready to take risks for a 200-300% profit. Solana's partners have already received pre-orders for a huge batch of new phones. Solana will live on, but there are many more interesting ecosystems to invest in right now.

It has always been advised not to hold your assets in exchanges. it is a very risky venture to do so.
As for metamask, I have been using it for years and I have had no security isssues using them. I speak for myself though, someone might have a contrary opinion.
Any software cryptocurrency wallet will not protect you from viruses or exploits. I have been using Metamask for a long time, but only in conjunction with a hardware wallet. And for testing projects or for wallets with amounts up to $100, I do not use a hardware wallet. You can create many wallets in Metamask and it is very convenient.

Warren Buffett is still a Bitcoin sadist till today and he doesn't believe that Bitcoin have any monetary value at all but that one is left to him. There are many people that had been asking for the regulation of Bitcoin by the government because of so many big scams that had happened before now. If Bitcoin ever get regulated, it are not going to be the same again like we used to enjoy it.
I'm not a big fan of Warren Buffett, but I like his thoughts and sometimes agree with them. Warren Buffett said one brilliant phrase that "Bitcoin will someday cost $0". This should not be taken literally. He understands that the price of Bitcoin will be manipulated and says that the price of Bitcoin will first reach certain heights, and then will remain at the bottom for a very long time, because manipulators will no longer be interested in this asset. But he doesn't tell us when this will happen.
