The SEC takes advantage of the complete lack of legislation in the cryptosphere. It looks more like abusing the freedom there is in the crypto space and also contradicting their own regulation attempts. This will be a very interesting case to follow and should get as much public attention other crypto related suits have gotten. The SEC has been pushing on crypto related platforms, it will be good if is is met with good resistance this time. I don't think that such a concept as "freedom" is appropriate in the American market. This market has always worked according to its own rules, and only the largest and strongest companies will remain in the American market. Weaker and smaller companies have already closed under threat of indictment or left the United States. |

About taxes, my point was that taxes need to be paid. But if the tax rate is just prohibitive, you don't have to be an idiot.
Rich people have the best tax advisors in the world and will always find a way to minimize taxes.
Rich people dont pay taxes from what i've heard. That's how they got rich in the first place. Keeping all that money and using it to make more. In other words what you are saying is that some people should remain slaves to the system.
No, I'm saying some people should put their crypto with custodians. Because they are incapable to managing private data over the longterm without losing it. That's if they insist on being involved in crypto at all. If not then so much the better. I'm doing them a favor by having that opinion. As harsh as it may sound. Dont get involved in crypto unless you are really good at keeping private data secure for the longterm. If you look at the lists of the richest people in the US and the amount of taxes paid, you will realize that rich people and their companies pay high taxes. But each case needs to be analyzed individually, because in the USA there are a lot of benefits for different companies in different areas and the largest benefits are in the AI direction. larry_vw_1955, why are you making excuses? The system does everything to ensure that the majority of people are its slaves. If this is not the case, then it is a bad system. |

OFAC has imposed sanctions against Russian blockchain service operators.
It seems that the United States will never run out of ideas and will continue to look for ways to get Russia to end all their war actions against Ukraine, I'm willing to bet that whatever laws and sanctions the US imposed on Russia were only to help Ukraine end the war. Most sanctions exist only on paper, but they do not work. The United States is the very first beneficiary of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Thanks to this, most high-tech companies from Europe are moving to the United States, because cheap prices for energy, raw materials and minerals have ended in Europe. They are sanctioning the Russian exchanges but how is this going to do anything? Crypto is unstoppable. Russian exchanges must be laughing their assess off right now. None of their customers are USA citizens probably too, so what's the point here? Do they think these exchanges will go away just because they are getting sanctioned? Russian gas was sanctioned too but EU is still using Russian gas. :/ This is absurd.
I think it's a matter of the procedure itself. If it is proven that these exchanges and their founders violated US laws, this entire huge system with branches in all countries could persecute the founders of the exchanges for life. |

Hehehhe he is only doing a great job before the case, however, when these cases begin, it will depend on the judge's statement and ruling if uncle Gary is really doing a great job. Uncle Gary was a loser to Ripple already. This is a very important precedent for the next cases. I do not agree that the SEC completely lost against Ripple in court. Ripple will pay big fines and the case is not closed yet. If the result of Uncle Gary's work is measured in the fines that companies pay to the US budget, then Uncle Gary works very well. If we evaluate judicial practice, then money and the best lawyers in the world win here. |

Here's the story of the events in court https://twitter.com/nikhileshde/status/1785350502949241039"Good morning folks. I'm in a Seattle courthouse today with @realDannyNelson covering @cz_binance's sentencing hearing. The DOJ's asked for 3 years in prison; defense has asked for house arrest and probation. Thread starts here" ___ CZ got away with a very short prison sentence. Although there are many people in the United States who are dissatisfied with this decision, the first act of the play is over. |

Значит не проще. Идеального блокчейна сейчас не существует.
А чем L2 не устраивает? Изначально так и планировалось, а протоколы как layer zero будут быстро перемещать активы между L2. В матике сейчас комиссии 1-2 цента, я даже с трона ушел.
Как я понимаю в скором времени выходит токен у проекта ZKSynс, за который топил Виталик Бутерин. Судя по всему затем они запустят маркетинговую кампанию, новые активности в экосистеме. А ведь говорят что ZKSynс является более технологичным L2-решением по сравнению с Arbitrum и Optimism. Не совсем понятно что будет с последними, ведь денег ни собрали немало. Скорее всего они будут постепенно покрываться пылью. Перегонять средства из одного L2-решения в другое и основную сеть ETH через мосты тоже удовольствие не из дешевых. Не думаю что Polkadot целесообразно развивать в том же ключе. Посмотрите на капитализацию и статистику по комиссиям. Я токеномику не видел, но если они будут раздавать токены за активности, то туда ликвидность придет, но не 16 миллиардов. https://l2fees.info/https://l2beat.com/scaling/summary |

А чем вам не нравится Гэвин Вуд?
Виталик Бутерин,Гэвин Вуд и Чарльз Хоскинс были отцами основателями эфириума, потом разошлиль мнениями и каждый начал строить свой протокол. Ошибки делали все. Сравните бюджет Гевина и бюджеты Тона и Еоса и скажите что сейчас работает, и что провалилось.
Да я ведь и не говорил, что он мне не нравится. Я говорил лишь о том, что если он забросит Полку, (а она так себе стоит на криптопространстве, я б сказал не особо востребована) то точно прилепится имидж бегуна от проекта к проекту. Ну может типа как тот же Лаример. Постепено уважение к таким топам в комьюнити снижается. И обращается в ноль. И при этом у него практически безграничные возможности по поиску инвесторов и размерам привлекаемого бабла. Это точно. В Полке я считаю, что он, как лидер и идеолог все-таки сильно перемудрил со всеми их аукционами, голосовалками, парачейнами, проектами, косящими под японцев, типа Кусамы- Акалы и прочее. Кстати тут из них троих пожалуй самый разумный как раз Хоскинсон. Ну мне так кажется. Зачем Гевину забрасывать свой проект? Проект каждый день в заголовках известных криптоизданий. Экосистема развивается, запускаются новые протоколы. От старай модели парачейнов они отошли, хотя я с самого начала говорил что она не рабочая, потому что у проекта бабла не хватит на аренду кажые 2 года или каждый год в кусаме. Из за этого многие проекты ушли на космос. Гевин не занимается таким дешовым пиаром как Дуров. В стейкинге больше 50% или около того почти всегда, а эта сумма больше 4 миллиардов. |

Uncle Gary is doing a great job, but he will fail with Ethereum and soon there will be spot Ethereum ETFs in the US. Many companies were waiting for regulations, and now the SEC has many ways to fill the state budget.
The approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF has paved the for Ethereum ETF. I don't think that there is any reason why it should not be approved. Immediately the SEC has made laws that will put the ETF market under control, and it will be approved. SEC had no issues with bitcoin. Satoshi was not selling anything, and SEC had no chance to call Bitcoin a stock. The other problem was that SEC didn't realize where a large portion of the bitcoin stock was https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5487893Half of the bitcoins have unknown owners, and it was a reasonable claim by the SEC to protect the market from manipulation. |

The SEC takes advantage of the complete lack of legislation in the cryptosphere. I cited several cases in which the court and the CFTC consider Ethereum a commodity, but apparently conflicts in American legislation allow the SEC to think differently.
Unfortunately, I do not see any attempt at regulation in this market in the USA. In such a situation, the SEC will have enough work to do for many years.

I think the real problem here is completely different.
there's not just one "real problem" there's multiple ones. one of them is having to pay taxes on your bitcoin. biden is trying to tax wealthy people now on their UNREALIZED gains at 44% do you know what that means? satoshi, if he was alive and american and biden's bill passed, satoshi would owe almost half his bitcoins to the IRS and they would be tracking him down so fast his head would spin. The idea of Satoshi was for people to be free and their savings to be free from banks and pension funds and to manage their coins independently, and after 15 years people think that their bitcoins are safer to store with centralized intermediaries.
some people are incapable of managing private data and will end up losing their private keys and all of their bitcoin. satoshi probably didn't think too much about that aspect of things but it exists. and it really is problematic. About taxes, my point was that taxes need to be paid. But if the tax rate is just prohibitive, you don't have to be an idiot. Rich people have the best tax advisors in the world and will always find a way to minimize taxes. In other words what you are saying is that some people should remain slaves to the system. |

I decided to make a separate topic to talk about how crypto companies defend their interests These links are very important. The SEC recently requested documentation about Ethereum from Consensys and other companies. The SEC wants to recognize Ethereum as a security. Further "The SEC accuses the MetaMask wallet of acting as an unlicensed broker-dealer, violating securities laws. A broker-dealer is a financial entity that conducts securities transactions on behalf of clients but can also trade for itself. It acts as a broker or agent when executing orders for clients; it acts as a dealer or principal when trading for its account." https://www.coinlive.com/news/sudden-development-u-s-sec-accuses-metamask-of-operating-without-aAnd here is the result: Consensys files a lawsuit against SEC https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.389154/gov.uscourts.txnd.389154.1.0.pdfThe essence of the claim "1.Ethereum is still not recognized as a security, which means that any actions of the SEC have no legal basis, and the commission exceeds its powers. 2. Ethereum is NOT a security, Consensys does not engage in securities trafficking, the SEC is acting in violation of the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution" Oshurko Ksenia (C) lawyer |

Мне кажется что проще создать новый блокчейн, чем исправлять проблемы с помощью очередных грабель в существующем. Не понятно зачем они решили идти по пути Ethereum, если разработчики этой сети до сих пор не решили проблему масштабирования, а L2-решений уже столько, что скоро L2-первопроходцы, которые устарели технологически, будут терять не только капитализацию, но и пользователей.

Если речь конкретно о персоне Гевина, то это крайне нежелательный вариант. Если замутит что-то новое, то имидж будет опушен ниже нуля, гарантированно. И с учетом его истории вообще. Хотя технически конечно проще все начать с начала и на основани уже имеющегося опыта. Для нчала збросить всю эту истрию с аукционами и парачейнами, как совершенно не оправдавшими себя. Но это все равно вряд ли они решатся обнулиться. Хотя вроде недавно команда Полки сокращала штаты. Вот и повод для отбывших, но набравшихся опыта, начать мутить что-то новое  А чем вам не нравится Гэвин Вуд?

The government has always had a negative attitude towards cryptocurrencies and intelligence agencies have always hunted for cryptomixers.I would still share the government and the policies of the intelligence services, of which there are very many in the United States, about 20. And it looks like this: “I see a new threat, here is our plan, I ask you to allocate xxx million to us” |

https://www.interfax.ru/business/957196Central Bank may be allowed to start piloting external settlements in cryptocurrency from autumn "Moscow. 22 April. INTERFAX.RU - State Duma deputies have finalised and introduced a new version of a bill that allows the Central Bank to start creating a pilot platform for the use of cryptocurrencies in international settlements from 1 September 2024. The regulator will have to coordinate a number of steps during the experiment with Rosfinmonitoring, the Federal Security Service and the Ministry of Finance." ___ As a comment I can only say one thing that nothing is clear from this news and the experiments in Russia may last for a very long time. It is still unclear what will be allowed, and most likely it will be digital financial assets under the control of banks that have nothing to do with cryptocurrency.

The UAE is a very small country, and basically the whole cryptocurrency movement is very popular in Dubai. And in the economic zone of Dubai there are a lot of crypto companies.So far, taxes in this region are low, but practice shows that legislation will soon begin to become stricter.

Studying American legislation, I came to the conclusion that the chairman of the SEC is limited in his powers. For example, when SEC analysts and lawyers find violations, this is submitted to the SEC commissioners for a vote. If the voting results are positive, then even the head of the SEC cannot interfere with the investigation.
If previously everyone was afraid to sue the SEC, now this is possible.

Russian oligarch wallet Where do these headlines come from? If I had a lot of bitcoins, I would use the original Bitcoin Core wallet for storage. The original wallet has options for secure and anonymous use. And it’s true that fraudsters and criminals often use privacy tools. But a good specialist knows how to use standard wallets completely safely. |

Would avoid any future projects launched by these founders."  ___ I'm sure the demand for meme coins will drop in a couple of months, and anyone who hasn't gotten rid of them will lose a lot of money.
