"WASHINGTON — IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) will launch a pilot program in June where cyber attachés will deploy to four continents across the globe to combat cybercrime, focusing on tax and financial crimes that use cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, peer-to-peer payments and mixing services. The four individuals tapped to serve as cyber attachés have significant expertise investigating cybercrime and will work with IRS-CI's law enforcement counterparts in Asia, Europe, South America and Australia.
It is unfortunate that this is an effort to clamp down and suppress the numbers of users of decentralised cryptocurrency like bitcoin. The government will never stop at nothing to push for control of people's finance, this is the debacle but the government won't focus on other human related cybercrimes like bullying, security by terrorists groups, child pornography and sexual exploitation and manipulation. These are all cybercrimes , I think the government has to also focus on the high rate of crime and insecurity and not just the online crypto trading business before we have another SEP 11. I wouldn't say that unambiguously because bitcoin has been hugely developed in the US. It or its derivatives were traded on many American exchanges. The IRS wants all people who are required to pay taxes to do so. And there has always been a lot of attention to crimes that threaten the national security of the country. |

@zasad@. It is a compliance nightmare for development teams that are located with in American jurisdiction. They're choices are to leave or be taken down by the United States of America hehehe. I not be shocked if the next stage for US regulators is to impose KYC on users personal wallets. What use would the innovation brought by these decentralized ledgers and databases if we cannot be in full control of our digital assets?
..
The more SEC will complicate the lives of crypto projects, the more dissatisfaction will be. MIСA will be implemented in Europe and all wallets must be verified. Large DEFI projects will also follow these principles and introduce whitelisting. I say that freedom will soon end. Other projects will also work, but not with the same liquidity and reliability. |

I got in a similar situation both my own and my sis accounts are frozen/held resp. Now, I don't even know what to do. I talked to the bank manager and gave him all the proofs but he didn't provide me the order copy I somehow managed to see section 92/102 and there was something written like FIR...
Can you kindly help me please, I can't send you a dm bcoz of being a newbie but can you please dm me on WhatsApp- 7086664845
I'm really tense as everything I had is blocked now.
Kindly help me, sir, if possible please dm me as I'm terrified and don't know what to do. And as I saw the word FIR I'm really sacred to my bone.
Are you afraid that the police will "seize any property during the investigation" according to 102 of the Criminal Code? If this is a criminal case, then you should be subpoenaed to the police to testify. Even if, according to your law, the police are not supposed to notify you, the bank must give you an answer about the reason for blocking your bank account. |

Cryptocurrency in the US elections will be a new trend. https://www.thestreet.com/cryptocurrency/news/crypto-rfk-jr-robert-f-kennedy-exclusive-interviewExclusive: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Says He Doesn’t Want ‘Anti-Crypto’ People on the SEC "At most, they should be neutral, and we should have people on there who are from the crypto community," he said. SABRINA TOPPAMAY(С) MIAMI, Florida – Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a keynote address at the Bitcoin 2023 conference in Miami this year, in which he laid out an ambitious Bitcoin agenda that included defending the self-custody of Bitcoin and ensuring that the U.S. remains the global hub of cryptocurrency. He also said he would prevent Bitcoin from being regulated as a security and consider pardoning Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. __ In Russia, after the elections, politicians forget about promises  |

Если в России разрешат крипто биржи и СБ начнет этим рулить, то он вскоре заставит силовиков закрыть нелегальные обменники. Все их не закрыть, но такого обилия и возможностей обмена уже не будет.
Вот о чем эта новость, время свобод заканчивается.
Так в статье они же под биржами имеют в виде не полноценные биржи, а прокладки для международной торговли, которые, по их идее, должны помочь обходить санкции за счёт платежей в крипте, а сами станут большими обменниками между криптой и фиатом для корпораций. Конечно, возможно, они и обменники решат полноценно задушить, но есть и вероятность, что такая мелочёвка их по-прежнему не заинтересует. В чем будут компании обходить санкции? Наверное не в токенах ЮСДТ, которые могут блокировать. Биткоин в блокчейне оставляет следы навсегда, и пусть хоть что ни будь запустят. Биржи для физлиц быстро не появятся. |

Ну так правильно. Одна и национальная или много частных.

Я бы сказал, что, скорее, это Сбер подсуетился, потому что он давно и упорно хочет влезть в криптобизнес хоть с какой-нибудь стороны, и биржу он давно хочет замутить тоже.
После того, как Гонконг объявил об обязательности лицензирования для всех работающих на его территории, первые криптобиржи уже подают заявки на получение такой лицензии. Среди заинтересовавшихся криптобирж Gate, Huobi, OKX... Если в России разрешат крипто биржи и СБ начнет этим рулить, то он вскоре заставит силовиков закрыть нелегальные обменники.

В пятницу предложение хакера было принято подавляющим большинством голосов, и теперь оно может быть реализовано любым членом DAO в течение следующих двух дней - контроль возвращается сообществу, и большинство изменений будут отменены.

Ron DeSantis is the likely Republican nominee. If Donald Trump does not participate in the elections, then the chances of Ron DeSantis will greatly increase. But there is still more than a year before the election, and with the continuation of such vigorous activity, Ron DeSantis will be one of the main presidential candidates.

because according to the agreement with the bank, I am prohibited from trading. You can always open an account with another bank which has a less draconian view of crypto, or trade with cash. Although as Pmalek rightly points out, any transfers to your bank account come from other individuals, not from Bisq. The main liquidity in the pair: Monero/Bitcoin, there is no liquidity for other cryptocurrencies. That's because almost all other cryptocurrencies are trash. I use Bisq mainly for fiat pairs. The bank will see incomprehensible transfers from unknown people and may block the account and require an explanation of the transactions and their legality. Bisq reminds me of Localbitcoins, or BitZlato. The first campaign closed on its own, and there is now a criminal case against BitZlato in the United States. BitZlato did not have a KYC, but used the services of a well-known AML provider. When trading, it is sometimes necessary to receive cash or stablecoins. It is possible to send several thousand dollars to a bank account, but if you send several hundred thousand dollars to a bank account, your bank will have a lot of questions for you, and cash transactions for such amounts are not safe. I trade through DAI and through other stablecoins, large trades are DAI. A lot of your questions and concerns regarding various ways to trade (or transact) with others and not to be interrogated or traced in respect to your interactions seem to be legitimate, and surely not Trezor specific kinds of questions - and for sure, I would be interested in following/participating in forum threads related to such topics... even though even on the forum, sometimes we might not even want to be describing too many specifics regarding exactly what we are doing... and for sure, we live in a world that is complicated in terms of trying to attempt to preserve some of the privacies that we might have had in regards to face to face cash transactions in the past and in some ways, some of us may well be trying to apply those kinds of privacies in the digital space ---- and for sure a kind of dynamic that may well always be changing in terms of services that are available, government (and even financial institutional) encroachments and normies trying to exercise certain rights to privacy, autonomy, security and self-sovereignty - and not always knowing the extent to which they might be unwittingly giving up some of their rights, and I am surely not going to claim to know how to employ various technologies without getting trapped at various points.,. who wants to have their funds seized, locked up, frozen, hacked, rug pulled or otherwise removed from their abilities to be able to use them.. or even depleted for penalties, taxes or some other kinds of disputes regarding whether some middle man might say that they have claims against our funds (that we may well dispute). For sure, not Trezor specific questions.. even though there is some overlap in ways that these kinds of topics can be discussed. I don't want to digress, but P2P trading in my country will quickly result in a blocked bank account. Therefore, the crypto community needs a decentralized stablecoin. ___ When trading, it is sometimes necessary to receive cash or stablecoins. It is possible to send several thousand dollars to a bank account, but if you send several hundred thousand dollars to a bank account, your bank will have a lot of questions for you, and cash transactions for such amounts are not safe. Well, if you are trying to conceal your fiat trades, I would suggest not sending such big amounts. They will, of course, sound all kinds of alarms because receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars is not an everyday (normal) transaction. The bank will ask questions and is surely obliged to report to the local taxing authorities. Regarding Bisq and trading limitations, a new user can only trade up to 0.1 BTC. After your account is signed and you become a more senior user of Bisq, these limits increase. But when fiat is concerned, the trade limits are in many cases 0.25 BTC/trade. For some payment methods, you will see 0.5 or 1 BTC. If you look at the trading volumes of Bisq and Uniswap, you will understand what I am talking about. P2P should be avoided for large sums. this service helps me to trade without registrations and restrictions https://rango.exchange/And my topic is about such services https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5389259Trezor and ledger are perfectly compatible with these services. |

The Florida governor portrayed his support of Bitcoin as a matter of civil liberties, and attempts to restrict crypto by his opponents as government overreach. “You have every right to do Bitcoin,” DeSantis said. “The only reason these people in Washington don’t like it is because they don’t control it.” “Bitcoin represents a threat to them,” DeSantis said. “They’re trying to regulate it out of existence.” DeSantis pledged that if Congress ever tried to institute a ban on “things like Bitcoin” by passing new legislation, that he would vehemently oppose it. He also said that the current administration could snuff out Bitcoin if Biden is reelected. “The current regime, clearly, they have it out for Bitcoin,” DeSantis said. “And if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up killing it.” https://decrypt.co/142306/ron-desantis-tells-elon-musk-bitcoin-will-die-if-joe-biden-is-reelected___ These are beautiful words and an ingenious election campaign, maybe not everyone uses bitcoin, but everyone loves freedom. |

In China I read articles that people from Hong Kong sell hardware wallets with stablecoins to the people from the mainland. The Chinese inside the mainland use VPNs and other privacy tools and trade their illegaly bought stablecoins through DeFi and decentralized exchanges.
That's news to me. I guess the same thing will happen with Pakistan users if the ban goes through. I doubt the police will actively try to imprison those people if they don't transact in a large amount of money, or engage in illegal activities explicitly. What I can see is a crackdown on business since they can earn more there. Business will always find a way to get around the restrictions, look at Russia, which is leading in terms of sanctions. The prohibition policy does not work, you can easily open a company in the Emirates and engage in legal activities or use the services of decentralized exchanges. Moscow has the largest shadow market for cryptocurrencies. If you tell me another place where you can exchange tens of millions of dollars for cryptocurrencies in a day and back without problems without documents, I will be grateful. This works because there are certain agreements between illegal money changers with the police and other agencies. If they close these illegal exchangers, then in a month there will be others that will work on safer protocols, through hiding places, couriers and will not cooperate with the police. The number of crimes will only increase. |

Также в обсуждениях поднимается вопрос, почему SEC никогда не предъявляет никаких претензий мем коинам, а до других проектов докапывается по любому поводу.
Пока СЕК до них доберётся, они сами сдохнут. А иначе получится как с LBRY, штрафанут на 22 миллиона, а когда поймут что банкроты предложат оплатить 111К https://cointelegraph.com/news/sec-revises-lbry-fine-to-111kНа мем коины на административную работу больше денег потратится, чем штрафов будет собрано. И они американцам не продают.. |

I didn't translate anything, klarki announced the 2023 pizza contest in a separate post in my thread. And he did it in his own words, take an example from him. Thank you, I spent a lot of time driving today, so I'm tired and inattentive. klarki announced Bitcoin Pizza bake-off contest!https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5400299.msg62286150#msg62286150I think that translation is not needed in the Russian community. Over the weekend, I'll check for a translation of the [Script] Imgur to TalkImg theme and post the translation if needed.
Can you please explain to me why we need a translation of this topic in the Russian section? Pictures from imgur work fine on the forum. It's just that theymos has made it so that new links from imgur service won't work on the forum anymore. All old images from the imgur service are displayed at the moment. There is no need in this script at the moment. Announcement by light_warrior https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5452515.msg62296447#msg62296447I am sure that our gang is against unnecessary translations, let's ask the opinion of other members tomorrow. |

One company is passing off CID phrases to other companies, another wallet maker is partnering with Chainalysis albeit saying that "the coordinator simply refuses them". Companies are affected by regulators.
I wouldn't be surprised if they follow the metamask route and add "We reserve the right to withhold taxes where required." Businesses simply cannot be trusted. Profits trump everything else, always. It's been obvious for years that you cannot trust any centralized exchange, and that they will scam you, lock accounts, seize funds, gamble your coins, and go bankrupt. It should now be obvious to everyone that you cannot trust hardware wallet manufacturers either. From unfixable bugs, to support for government mandated KYC via AOPP, to directly funding blockchain analysis and spying on their users, to handing your seed phrases to third parties and making it vulnerable to government subpoenas. The solution is run your own node, trade via Bisq, and as you point out use your own airgapped encrypted cold storage which does not rely on third parties being honest. strong passphrase solves the hacking problem if hackers manage to get to your Seed. It doesn't solve it, as the attacker will still have your seed phrase. It mitigates against your coins being stolen if and only if you use a long and random passphrase, but we also know that most people use incredibly weak passphrases. I love decentralized trading, so I immediately have a lot of questions about fiat transactions and P2P trading. Then my tax office will have a lot of questions for me if my bank does not block the account earlier, because according to the agreement with the bank, I am prohibited from trading. https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges/bisqThe main liquidity in the pair: Monero/Bitcoin, there is no liquidity for other cryptocurrencies. |
