i earn a very decent living, many of my income sources are international. i'm very much a law abiding citizen, but i am finding i'm increasingly being treated like a criminal by various gov explaining what is legally obtained fiat, in my own country (as a registered sophisticated investor) i'm a compulsory audit
Uhhh...if you don't mind me asking, what's a "registered sophisticated investor" in your country? I've bumped into rules like that myself, and had fun once when I managed to wiggle around them.
With regard to myself and crypto, I was floored by the fact that the exchanges offer trade and orderbook data
for free. That's nothing like the stock market, wherein a live feed of all trades costs thousands per month - and raw data for each month costs thousands too. (Strangely, the cheapest data pack per month comes with U.S. options trades - even though the bid, ask and trades package takes up so much space they sell it to you in a single 500-gig hard drive!)
Since this kind of, er, premium-pricing is what I was used to, I was floored when I found I could download an exchange entire record of Bitcoin trading for free!
