Because there were all BS, that's why. Look at BTC. BTC is no BS and there's never been any advertisement for it. When something's this good, it doesn't need any kind of advertising.

There's something fishy about this news. From: https://www.europol.europa.eu/newsroom/news/mastermind-behind-eur-1-billion-cyber-bank-robbery-arrested-in-spainThe criminal profits were also laundered via cryptocurrencies, by means of prepaid cards linked to the cryptocurrency wallets which were used to buy goods such as luxury cars and houses. In Europe, prepaid cards are limited to €2,500 of transactions each year. I don't what are the regulations elsewhere, but I would be really surprised if it was possible to buy luxury cars, and real estate, with a prepaid card.

well they said he was muslim nobody really knows
Read the news more thoroughly. I've read many articles about it in French. The guy shouted allah akbar before killing people, and he was going to the local mosque several times a week. There's just no doubt that he was muslim.

To talk and to regulate are 2 very different things. I doubt there can be any cryptocurrency G20-wide regulation before years. The world's leaders have more urgent problems on their agenda.

How come each time we hear about a new terror cat, the bad guy is always a muslim?
Because the media is biased and you only hear what you want to hear? In America the majority of terror attacks and mass shootings are carried out by white people, often Christians, but the media doesn't call them terrorists because it's not part of their agenda and it probably isn't yours. I really hate those Americans who think they're the center of the world and who ignore the rest of the world. US is just ONE country. In Europe, Africa and M-E, more than 100 countries, all terror attacks come from muslims.

I already started a topic on that subject a few weeks ago. These are good news! It shows that BTC isn't only an investment as many people would like to believe, it's also a real currency, with many advantages over the banking system for businesses.

Wow! I had money at my Payza account. A few months ago, I've emptied my account, just like my Skrill account, and I see now that I've been very lucky. This just shows we need BTC more than ever. The f*cking feds can close a payment processor, but they can't close BTC. It is the future!

in short regulations only ask for MSB to report people who make transactions over 10k in a lump/small time frame of smaller amounts that can be seen as moving a large amount often.
they need to gather identification info to ensure people dont just make multiple accounts..
but essentially its not a regulatory requirement to ask for income statements. infact 90% of KYC is about regulators telling companies to make their own policy handbooks on how the company will identify suspicious transactions. rather than a regulator demanding an entire life history
thus regulators dont need to know all that crap, but its the company that would ask all that crap because the company fears that not having peoples entire private/personal life story will get them in trouble.
in my eyes i have seen many exchanges overstep their boundaries. infact companies are not suppose to even freeze/seize assets, not even allowed to inform customers that a sars file has been sent to authorities or that the customer is under investigation/review.
the company is suppose to not act as a authority, but simply a witness.. allowing the transaction to go through as normal and just report the suspicious activity confidentially. its for the real authorities to get a court order and apply a asset seizure. not the company independently/by choice just seize funds
so when i see exchanges do crap like this, my mind says that the company has no clue and does not even know its job/purpose
Yes, I'm thinking quite the same thing. Nobody has asked Bitstamp to collect that much data. I had sent them proof of ID, proof of address, and details of the bank account I've used with their services, and all that is fine with me, but they have no need to know more. I mean that, nothing more would be needed to buy a car, and get it registered. It's especially shocking that I've only done a very few trades with Bitstamp. I did way more trades with bitcoin.de or Kraken, and they ahev'nt asked anything. I'm still checking a few things, but I think I will close my account.

That's probably where the taxes are the highest. That's Denmark, Sweden or France. Or where there's little freedom. North Korea, maybe.

We all knew KYC was coming to exchanges, and well, this is it. I've received an email from Bitstamp yesterday. It took me to a form which asks me, among other things, how much I'm making each year.
I don't like it, and frankly, I don't understand it.
I sure understand that banks want a lot of information when you apply for a loan, but I find it shocking that Bitstamp, an exchange which I've only used a few times (Bitfinex, Poloniex and Kraken are my favorite trading places), ask that kind of information. The other exchanges I'm using haven't asked anything, so I'll probably close my Bitstamp account.
Then, what does Bitstamp wants to do with my data? I believe they're based in the UK, but I'm not British, and I've never lived in the UK, so what's the point of inquiring about foreigners? Will they pass my data to the country which granted my passport? I've left that place years ago, so it makes no sense...

This is very effective and time-proven solution. It's in Iran. I've heard that their recidivism rate is very low.

What, BTC payments in 2 seconds?
How do you manage to do that?

Yes, it remains rape. If someone steals your car, you'll get some money from your insurance, and that is a benefit, you've lost your car, and that was a theft.

I don't have a government. Why should I have one?
I've kicked all governments out of my life, so that I could have a happy life.

I kinda have a question, what about the issue of search engine? I learnt that they will disable search engine for Crypto related searching, in a way that when one is trying to make a research on anything related to Crypto the search engine won't work for such individuals
Do you have a link to prove that? The search engine and the advertising services are very different things.

Here's what Google said: https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/7648803My first comment is that there's never been any BTC advertisement. Who would pay for it? The BTC's foundation? This board's webmaster? As there's no corporation, nor an individual owning BTC, there can't be any kind of advertising. The only ads I've ever seen were for lousy ICOs, shitcoins, trading and exchanges websites where you can make a deposit but not a withdrawal, trading consultants who screw you with the promise to show you how not to get screwed, and super safe crypto-wallets where your private keys are automatically sent to a smart angel in East Russia. Google wants to ban all that? I say thanks Google!

Every law abiding citizen needs to pay his/her tax as it is a necessity for nation development and i think we should not play with the law to find ourselves wanting at the end.
This is precisely why I don't pay tax. Because I'm against any nation's development. Life would be better if there were no nation. There'd be no citizens, no borders and no more wars.
