Defi is not as decentralized as it claims, and I believe that these services are open to digital identity, but they need to facilitate registration procedures and obtaining a license. If the government shows cooperation in the laws, I believe that Defi will be allowed in the United States, otherwise (which is most likely) they will be banned soon, especially since some of them are not. They are in line with the Federal Reserve’s financing policy and imposing profits on deposits.

А сами заходили на данную площадку?)

Lol! That is a news to cheer on. My concern is not on the news. Manipulation is real and someone with a very deep pocket like Blackrock, poses a real threat to the decentralized bitcoin ecosystem. They have so much power that they can make all major newspapers around the world to publish negative news on Bitcoin at the same day so that the market can crash. Then when they are done buying Bitcoins at the lower rate, publish all previous news as FUD and encourage people to invest in it.

Black rock is the biggest investment company in the world. The amount of manipulation they can play with any market, is un imaginable.

Buy allowing BlackRock into the cryptocurrency market, SEC puts us in a grave situation. While majority of the people thought that Bitcoin price will increase, in reality it is decreasing. This allows blackrock to become the largest institutional holder of Bitcoin. They will have absolute power to manipulate the market as per there wish.

That is exactly what I feared and it seems it is now a reality. Welcome to the world of Wall Street manipulation.

No, you changed your attitude when you realized how wrong you were, first you accused them of extraordinary interest rates, then that they don't put the equal sign between a rogue exchange that follows no rule and an exchange that reports everything every 3 months and stopped when realized that you're asking exactly for what you don't actually want, the US to make all the rules all over the world!


That's exactly where they came from since they actually have no headquarters.
A company with a 100$ in assets, incorporated in Delaware and having some virtual offices in California, with no actual presence not even customer support in the US demands to be allowed to create a coin pegged to the dollar with no way of verfifg the assets behind it and do business in the US as every other company!


I dare you to say something negative about the invasion of Ukraine or the deaths of thousands of russian soldieries for Putin's ego!
But be careful, before you're going to jump from the 10th floor of a two floor building you might get kicked out of your signature campaign, where the rules are not allowing you to talk on the subject!  
MUCH freedom! SUCH liberty! Wow nonsense!


Biggest mistake as that can be faked into trillions by just a single guy with pockets 1/millionth of the volume.

Not more than in most big western countries.

Some prices are lower such as construction and home services.

I saw OK flats at 500$/month.

You are only overcomplicating things isn't? Since you are sending your signature campaign earnings throught Monero, and then into an exchange, you are just going to get your dox attached to Monero transactions, and exchanges are increasingly more anti privacy coins, and I suspect governments wouldn't be a fan as well. So that really does not fix anything. Once you cash out, either your bank or your government could ask for proof of funds as well. Not really a solution imo. Either you don't report it, or you try to be as clear as possible if you report it. The problem is, if you don't report it, then what do you do with the coins? You cannot barely do anything with crypto if you don't convert it to fiat anyway.

I'm on the fence about that.  Sure, getting buddy-buddy with the regulators could help Ethereum become top dog one day by making it seem more legit.  But it could also backfire.  The regulators might force Ethereum to add a bunch of red tape that makes it harder for developers to create new apps.  Or worse, they could just ban certain kinds of transactions, which would be a punch in the guts. 

So it's hard to say if getting regulators on board is worth the risk and  ethereum has done pretty well so far just doing its own thing without worrying what the higher-ups think.  Then again having the big bad government's blessing could convince more people to jump on the Ethereum train.  At the end of the day its hard to predict how it would all shake out. 

Solana Mobile планирует выпустить второй смартфон.

У телефона будут те же основные функции, что и у его предшественника под названием Saga: встроенный криптокошелек, пользовательское ПО Android и магазин для криптоприложений "dApp store", но по более низкой цене и с другим аппаратным обеспечением.

Резидентам России и Украины карта не выдаётся, но есть лайфхак. В качестве документа, удостоверяющего личность, RedotPay принимает ID цифрового резидента Палау, а его может получить любой желающий за 248 долларов: https://rns.id . Вот только для 3DS понадобится иностранный номер телефона. Но его тоже совсем несложно купить при желании.

Других подобных карт я на рынке пока не вижу, но надеюсь, что они будут появляться, и эта тема будет пополняться новыми интересными финтеховскими продуктами.

That's pretty crazy. Was it Coinbase? I've heard Coinbase is insanely strict nowadays, to the point is just nonviable to deposit any coins that don't come from Coinbase itself, as in back and forth from Coinbase into your wallet back to Coinbase is ok, but anything else adds additional steps of complexity that may lock you out of the coins until you deliver some context. But with a lawyer you may find a solution. The real problem here would be with the taxman. Because most people will not be able to explain every satoshi ever on his wallet, so these are the ones that are expert in screwing innocent people up that just obtained some coins here and there along the years, then you want to cash out and they treat you like you are El Chapo or something.

The moment US went after CZ everyone went assliking mode and said it's an attack on Bitcoin, remember?
What should the US agencies, police the entire world? LOL, you're demanding that?  

It's pretty simple, the US does what it wants and authorizes who it wants to do business inside their borders, you cross that line you either follow the rules or you cross it back, you can't sneak your way in lured by the trillions of us money, try to use it and at the same time respect nothing, do you think there is any country on this planet insane enough to allow such a thing?
Before you care what the US does, how about you look in your own garden first? How is Binance doing in Russia?
Oh wait, forget Binance, how is Bitcointalk doing in Russia?

See, it's a thing of cleaning your own mess before looking at what others do!


Trusting a volume reported by a company who doesn't report it's own location it's believing in Santa Claus!
