  • It looks like you have to cross them both off your list: Thailand Bans Use of Cryptocurrencies as a Method of PaymentAccording to "Regulation of Cryptocurrency Around the World": - It might be slightly outdated! If you…

  • Based on the "video [skip to 0:38]" that the Police released on Aug 20, they were definitely using ASIC rigs; in other words, it's either BTCitcoin mining or a few other cryptocurrencies that also have ASICs built for…

  • I don't think so... Despite reading "this [refer to the "NEW DEVELOPMENTS" section]", I still can't think of an instance where they actually made life easier for BitLicense holders [e.g. I couldn't find the exact…

  • Considering that we're talking about police officers from a first-world country [referring to the modern definition of it], I'm a bit surprised and at the same time, I'm quite disappointed to see they've only been…

  • You have a point, but I think only small exchanges will be affected by asset segregation and honestly, it'd be better if they didn't operate in the space [they shouldn't offer exchange services if they have to solely…

  • I just read it and I'm glad that for once, the intended targets are actually the exchanges [as opposed to customers], but it would've been better if there was also an approval for the asset segregation clause [it…

  • According to "ASIC-README", your Antminer U2 [ANU] it's being detected as an Antminer U3 [AU3]... I had no luck in finding a way to "exclude it", but perhaps the solution to the above errors is in the following lines:…

  • Have you tried searching the address that LocalBitcoins used for sending the amount in question, on a website like "WalletExplorer"? - They're great at tagging the addresses that belong to most exchanges. LocalBitcoins…

  • Despite knowing that Uncle Sam loves having control over literally everything, I don't think they'd be issuing a retail CBDC at the beginning, so it'd probably be limited to financial institutions. You have a point, but…

  • It looks like they've been doing it for the "past year or two", but I'm wondering why it took them this long to act against BTMs [it's strange]? I believe you meant to copy/paste "this" one instead I checked some of…

  • In addition to Z-tight's comment, based on my understanding, a trading company that relies on client funds and receives a certain amount of crypto for the services it offers is still obligated to pay progressive income…

  • It looks like you've forgotten about the issues that might come with mining investments; It's not always going to be a smooth experience... e.g. Dealing with faulty boards, PSU's and etc... > Shipping them for repair…

  • Luckily, it's just a negligible amount, and I expected this to happen a lot sooner [AFAICR, mining operations aren't a new thing in Kazakhstan; at least in the past couple of years]. - In my current location, the…

  • I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be slapped with a higher jail time in comparison to what was given in the previous case from 2017 [3 years] but for some reason, "this screenshot" is showing different stats for…

  • Considering that they released this warning a day after Binance released "this blog post", I think they're trying to imply that Binance's solution [Merkle tree cryptography and zk-SNARKs] isn't sufficient, so I'm…

  • I agree, but perhaps there's a way to monitor cross-border activities in the same manner that the US does [in general] for its citizens: - I do know it'd be impossible to monitor everything, but they could definitely…

  • Based on the first bullet point on that screenshot, it's slightly worse than that... Something like that, but realistically, I don't think they'd be able to ask for such information if the other end is "not" a…

  • Exactly, it'd be multiple layers of collateral damage without "fully" achieving what they're trying to do [no doubt there's an ulterior motive]! Interesting article... How on earth they're going to do this? Not sure why…

  • This just forces those who want to evade sanctions to move their activities to the underground exchanges and decentralized platforms [they'd never be able to "completely" stop such transactions from reaching their…

  • When it comes to BTCitcoin, that's true [regardless of the fact that you should avoid using it in such situations], but that's not always the case with other cryptocurrencies: PSA: Most Stablecoins Can Be Frozen, Even…
