I am not quite certain where to share this news article. This will become another attempt to disable the innovation being brought and enjoyed in the cryptospace. A Democratic representative laid into witnesses during Wednesday’s joint hearing on crypto regulation, arguing that there is no way to effectively regulate crypto markets when they are subject to such “massive market manipulation.”
House Financial Services Committee member Bill Foster, D-Illi., argued that wash trading cannot be controlled without establishing federally-regulated “traceable digital identities” for all wallets and users.
“If we wish to prevent wash trading…is there any alternative to having both sides of every crypto transaction associated with a traceable digital identity and have that digital identity issued by a government with which we have extradition treaties and a common concept of financial fraud, is there any alternative to that?” Foster asked the panel of witnesses.Source https://blockworks.co/news/self-custody-wallets-need-identitiesIn any case, I have argued against some people in the forum who tells everyone that regulations are good for adoption. However, it appears that they do not have any understanding on what regulations might imply on the cryptospace. This is how I understand how regulations might be implemented and it will certainly not be good for adoption. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5447061.msg62196665#msg62196665They still cannot determine which token or token is a commodity and which shares. They learned how to track transactions on wallets and deal with scammers. Money does not like bans, and while they want to tighten regulation, there is hope for the emergence of new financial centers for cryptocurrencies in other countries. |

О, как! Казино снова осталось в выигрыше и ни с кем не захотело делиться прибылью, ну кто бы мог подумать =) А сколько хомячков поди полетело скупать всё появляющееся ежеминутно дерьмо на метамаске в надежде стать новыми миллионерами... Покупатель знал или догадывался, что будут листить на Бинанс. Цену слабо подкинули перед листингом, а может капитала не хватило. На Бинансе была первая разгрузка хомякам. |

The government has always sold on a schedule and everything else around it be damned.
They were auctioning off property late 2008 during the banking implosion since that was when it was scheduled for.
But, I didn't know they still had so much to do. I thought they had already sold a bunch.
Does anyone have a list of all the larger amounts of BTC that governments have seized over the years?

Bankman-Fried blames ‘crypto winter’ for FTX failure in seeking dismissal of most charges https://www.theblock.co/post/229881/bankman-fried-crypto-winter-ftx-failure-dismiss-charges"Sam Bankman-Fried has filed motions to dismiss many of the criminal charges filed against him in the collapse of FTX. Bankman-Fried seeks to paint FTX’s practices as standard in the crypto industry, and lays blame with the U.S. government over its regulatory wrangling around digital assets over the last several years."  |

https://www.binance.com/en/news/flash/7541996https://twitter.com/ArkhamIntelArkham tweeted that the U.S. government currently holds more than $6 billion worth of bitcoin on-chain. "The bitcoins they held were seized from three incidents: 69,370 bitcoins were seized from Silk Road in 2020; 94,640 bitcoins were seized from Bitfinex hackers in 2022, and Silk Road hacker James Zhong was seized in 2022. There are 51,326 bitcoins (9,861 have been sold and 41,500 are left). The U.S. government announced plans to sell these bitcoins in batches in 2023." __ They picked the wrong time

I have read the entire article, but it is a journalistic article of the development of legislation related to cryptocurrencies in Dubai, and it cannot be relied upon as a reference for those who want to know the regulatory framework in that country. Even talking about some laws was very superficial, but from what I understood, laws within the country differ from one emirate to another. And that the non-strict laws are of the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), which is the regulator in the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) region, while 6 Emirates do not have clear legislation. I agree with you because Experience and Practice can only be found in Dubai. And then you will figure out how to proceed further. Legislation is changing, but Dubai has proven to be the most progressive in the crypto industry. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/cryptocurrencies/2023/05/08/coinbase-considering-uae-as-potential-international-hub-says-ceo/Coinbase considering UAE as potential international hub, says CEO Emirates' approach has been more forward thinking than the US, Brian Armstrong says |

I thought that the SEC would not respond to the petition without the decision of the Court. I do not want to rush things, but I do not understand how the SEC will clarify its position in 10 days? The main game is played in closed meetings, and I am inclined to think that an agreement will be reached between the exchange and the SEC. Both sides don't need a long legal process. Court in the US is very expensive. What if Ripple wins.. Ripple will have spent $200 million fighting SEC lawsuit, CEO says

Unfortunately, it's illegal to buy property in the EU with BTC. To those who are not familiar with this business, it's also illegal to pay in a foreign currency like the US dollar, or to pay cash save in one country. Even if the buyer accepts BTC, the transaction must be in the currency which is legal tender in the country, and the price shall be written in the contract. Sorry, but there's no choice.
Some tax and legal rules are not the same in the European Union and it is absolutely not illegal in France to pay in bitcoins. Nevertheless, you have to prove the origin of the funds and pay taxes and notary fees in Fiat. In France, there is what is called the dation in payment: originally an heir could pay his debts by transferring works of art for example, in the same way a real estate developer can "exchange" a piece of land or a real estate for an apartment (for example a person sells his house on a piece of land on which the developer will build a building, the developer then offers in addition to transfer an apartment in the said building). More infos : https://www.nexity.fr/terrains/guide-terrain/conseils-vente/dation-en-paiement-definitionOne day the majority of countries will accept bitcoins in the same way as they accept a work of art to pay a tax debt, it is only a matter of time. In some countries you can already pay your taxes with bitcoin. And how do people in France solve problems if they cannot confirm the legality of buying cryptocurrency? I heard that in countries like France, Germany there are very strict taxation and control over real estate purchases. I think that there is less and less time left for the cryptocurrency to remain out of control. |

I have a feeling that he will be extradited very soon.
And I read that he can spend another 6 months or more in a prison in Montenegro. Even the extradition of criminals from Europe to the United States can take a year or more. And then the Montenegrin authorities will act according to the circumstances and try to keep such a rich scammer on their territory for as long as possible. My theory still has a right to exist until Do Kwon is extradited. Not sure if that is the best move for the Montenegrin authorities. I mean what will they get from keeping Do Kwon in their prison? So it's better for them to really extradite him, it's just the question on who is going to get him first, US or South Korea? Both countries has made a official request already. So let's see, because it seems that they are keen on prosecuting Do Kwon first, forged documents and after he served his sentenced, he might be extradited. S.Korea, US seeking extradition of crypto entrepreneur Do Kwon -Montenegro. While Do Kwon is in prison in Montenegro, many important events can happen in the world. The US wants to take money from Do Kwon. If he does not give them back, he will be in prison for life. This is the rule of a strong country, which can dictate terms to other countries. Not sure what important events though that might affect Montenegro to extradite or not to extradite Do Kwon to the US. Of course, what's US after is the money that Do Kwon still have in his pocket, it's not that they are going to get it and confiscate for themselves, they will have to liquidate it as per the charges they have on him. Then once his assets has been liquidate then it could the claimants or the victims can get at least part of the money they've lost, I'm talking about US citizens here and not the totality of the victims, (there could be South Koreans and other nationalities for that matter). Extradition from Montenegro can last more than a year, then another trial in the United States can also last a long time. The injured party then needs to prove the damage in order to receive compensation. Then the commission and the procedure for compensation for damage will be formed. Ordinary people will not receive anything or the services of lawyers will cost them more. Yes and that's why US is really at the tail of Do Kwon because they want to pay compensation right away. And this is not the first time that US will exercise their extradition with Montenegro, there was a couple who fled to that country when they pull a scam for a $20 million fraud. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/fugitive-couple-extradited-united-states-montenegro-begin-prison-sentences-20-million-fraudSo for me, sooner or later Montenegro will extradite Do-Kwon in the States and then face the charges and liquid his assets to pay for all of his victims. Of course lawyers are going to be paid, that's part of their job. But Do-Kwon has a lot of assets and there could be more unravel in court proceedings. 20 million is a penny compared to what Do Kwon has. If Do Kwon is extradited to the US, he will face a long prison term. But American law is very very interesting. If he agrees on cooperation and gives up the stolen assets and surrenders his accomplices, then he can serve a short term of 3-7 years in a good prison |

Be careful. Your coins can be blocked at any time. This shit is even worse than centralized exchanges. https://twitter.com/0xCygaar/status/1654495301393174530"2) This address, 0xAf2358e98683265cBd3a48509123d390dDf54534, was actually blacklisted by the PEPE deployer.

Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol Deus Finance has lost over $6 million due to a security breach on its stablecoin DEI. The hacker exploited a vulnerability in BNB Smart Chain (BSC) on May 5, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. A bot initiated the hack on BSC, which led to a more than $1.3 million loss. The attacker also targeted the Arbitrum network, with ARB/ETH deployments losing over $5 million. Twitter users claimed the token contract had a basic implementation error as the root cause."

Эти пароли вскрываются спецсредствами легко даже на последних моделях телефонов. Но если нужно, то вы за 5 минут сами отдадите. 2 электрода, следов нет, приятель 2 минут не продержался.
Ну и кому нужны эти сложности? Не хочешь показывать телефон/ноутбук - не показывай. Просто хер тебе будет вместо въезда в страну. Ноги в руки и пиздуй обратно, откуда прибыл  Для вас сложности, а для таможенников работа. Придержат вас на сутки и вскроют телефон или ноутбук, ситуация везде напряженная, может вы в страну приехали не как турист. Физическое воздействие применяют против тех, кого уже знают или попали в списки. |

I wonder how the FBI or exchange users got themselves to these unknown exchanges ,because I expected this to be with larger exchanges were liquidity is not a problem and they have a larger userbase...besides you can't hide behind a small exchange because all users are unique and they know the traits of each user and a person can easily be spotted! Btw wonder why these guys didn't simply use a mixer or something if they have the skills to do their illegally sh*t, guess not so smart after all  If this is criminal money, then the details of the drop bank card are indicated during the exchange. In Russia or Ukraine, such a market is very well developed. You do not even need to buy other people's bank cards, intermediaries will cash out your cryptocurrency for 5-7%. The DarkNet is littered with such services. |

А вот у меня телефон защишен графическим паролем.
И что? ДА берите и проверяйте сколько хотите. Если сможете.
Что? Паяльник в жопу или вводи пароль? Конечно же пароль, мне моя жопа дороже. Как-то так, ИМХО...

Да везде я был. Мне даже в ягодицы раздвигали и рентген желудка делали на Бали. Если что - могу предъявить тот самый рентген.
Но тут вопрос не про таможенников, а про пограничников! Точнее, про КГБшников. Разве они имеют право проверять телефоны? Причем не родные, российские, а чужие, белорусские? И что бы они тода бы сделали? Не пустили бы в Белорусь? Вернули бы назад в Литву? Депортировали бы? Посадили бы в тюрьму как С. Сапегу (своих не бросаем, если что...)
Впрочем, лично ко мне вопросов было немного - "чем занимаетесь - ничем. На какие средства живете - купил биткоинов в 2017 году, продаю потихоньку, тем и живу - счастливого пути!"
Колоноскопию не предложили на границе сделать? хоть с пользой границу переходить Телефоны могут проверить везде и имеют на это право, но как всегда нужно знать нюансы. Обычно проверка телефона или другой техники ограничивается проверкой, что телефон это телефон, а не чтото запрещенное. Если они хотят читать переписку, то это незаконно. На это должно быть разрешение прокурора или судьи или того кто за это ответственный, вас должны с этим решением ознакомить, а потом копаться в телефоне. Я пересекаю границу с большой улыбкой и 2 телефонами. Если во втором телефоне хотят читать мою переписку, то там ничего секретного нет. Я считаю такие проверки выборочными, и если адекватно реагировать, то к вам пропадает интерес. Вас могут задержать на границе, обыскать, телефон вскрыть и без вашего согласия, нужны ли вам такие приключения? |

I think now the problem is what is your legal income and can you confirm it. In many countries, real estate purchases are controlled by tax authorities because it is very easy. Only in some countries they ask you about income and taxes, and in other countries they don’t ask you yet. But the key word is "yet". Your most vivid emotions will be when the tax office asks for your tax returns, and you have nothing to provide. Well, only the crypto friendly nations citizens can buy and sell property through bitcoin legally. Most of the time when you buy a property, you need to complete its whole documentation so that the government may give you the NOC to buy or sell the property. In this case, you need to show the proof that you actually paid the amount through the banking channel or through cash. So now if you paid using the bitcoins, you will mention it in the legal documents and only the country that accepts bitcoin will recognize this transaction. It is very difficult to find two people, one of whom wants to sell real estate for bitcoins, and the other person wants to pay with bitcoins. But this is ideal. As a rule, a property can have several owners. For the buyer, this limits the huge market because many sellers want fiat. But this does not save you from tax control. |
