@coinbureau The US isn’t “defending” anything here. They’re contributing to the uncertainty. Do you really believe they didn’t anticipate the consequences when they attacked Iran while negotiations were still ongoing?
For Iran it’s one of the few ways of leverage they have against the US...

@PeterMcCormack @kieranmlkelly It’s misleading to equate what socialism stands for in theory with how it’s distorted by corrupt politicians in practice—just as modern “democracy” is far removed from its original theoretical ideal.

And to the US motives for this...the people are last on the list..

[Miloš Mitrovič @MiloMitrovi8]

@dotkrueger @DDhardesh On the other hand, in a "democracy," they always print it out of thin air, to infinity. The fact is, in every system, they either take someone else’s money, or someone ends up paying it off for them.

Saying the obvious. Most people “in crypto” know this, most people “not in crypto” may not understand yet.

Tokenizing gold is NOT “on chain” gold.

It’s tokenizing that you trust some third party will give you gold at some later date, even after their management changes, maybe decades later, during a war, etc.

It’s a “trust me bro” token.

This is the reason no “gold coins” have really took off. 🤷‍♂️

🇪🇺 Telegram sent this message to all its users in France regarding Chat Control. People must know the names of those who try to steal their freedoms:

Today, the European Union nearly banned your right to privacy. It was set to vote on a law that would force apps to scan every private message, turning everyone’s phone into a spying tool.

France led the push for this authoritarian law. Both former and current Interior Ministers, Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Nuñez, supported it. Last March, they declared that police should see French citizens’ private messages. The Republicans and Macron’s Renaissance group voted for it.

Such measures are supposed to “fight crime”, but their real target is regular people. It wouldn’t stop criminals — they could just use VPNs or special websites to hide. Officials’ and police messages wouldn’t be scanned either, since the law conveniently exempts them from surveillance. Only YOU — ordinary citizens — would face the danger of your private messages and photos being compromised.

Today, we defended privacy: Germany’s sudden stand saved our rights. But freedoms are still threatened. While French leaders push for total access to private messages, the basic rights of French people — and all Europeans — remain in danger.

🇲🇩 About a year ago, while I was stuck in Paris, the French intelligence services reached out to me through an intermediary, asking me to help the Moldovan government censor certain Telegram channels ahead of the presidential elections in Moldova.

After reviewing the channels flagged by French (and Moldovan) authorities, we identified a few that clearly violated our rules and removed them. The intermediary then informed me that, in exchange for this cooperation, French intelligence would “say good things” about me to the judge who had ordered my arrest in August last year.

This was unacceptable on several levels. If the agency did in fact approach the judge — it constituted an attempt to interfere in the judicial process. If it did not, and merely claimed to have done so, then it was exploiting my legal situation in France to influence political developments in Eastern Europe — a pattern we have also observed in Romania 🇷🇴

Shortly thereafter, the Telegram team received a second list of so-called “problematic” Moldovan channels. Unlike the first, nearly all of these channels were legitimate and fully compliant with our rules. Their only commonality was that they voiced political positions disliked by the French and Moldovan governments.

We refused to act on this request.

Telegram is committed to freedom of speech and will not remove content for political reasons. I will continue to expose every attempt to pressure Telegram into censoring our platform. Stay tuned. 🤝

@MichaelAArouet @IvanOnTech And you dont think the massive gold seizure and all the sanctions imposed by "western countries", because they cant install their own "people", have any effect on those developments?

[Miloš Mitrovič @MiloMitrovi8]

@JoelKatz The US attacking a country on the other side of the world - they are "making the world safer".
Russia attacking its neighbour country because they wanted to get into Nato, which was an agreement between West and Russia, it wont happen - they are so bad.
Mhm...sure, sure

STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE IS LAW!

[Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing]

China makes a Stanley tumbler for $1 (which sells for $50), and makes a Nike shoe for $10 (which sells for $150). The US benefits from the global trade and trade deficit. Let’s not forget the pollution from the factory that the U.S. consumer avoids.

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

The final crossing of t’s and dotting of i’s – and what should be my last update on SEC v Ripple ever…

Last week, the SEC agreed to drop its appeal without conditions. @Ripple has now agreed to drop its cross-appeal. The SEC will keep $50M of the $125M fine (already in an interest-bearing escrow in cash), with the balance returned to Ripple. The agency will also ask the Court to lift the standard injunction that was imposed earlier at the SEC’s request. All subject to Commission vote, drafting of final documents and usual court processes.

That’s all folks!

[Miloš Mitrovič @MiloMitrovi8]

@SajwaniCrypto done

[Stuart Alderoty @s_alderoty]

Today, Ripple moves forward—stronger than ever. This landmark case set a precedent for the domestic crypto industry.

With the SEC dropping its appeal, Ripple is now in the driver's seat and we’ll evaluate how best to pursue our cross appeal. Regardless, today is a day to celebrate this victory.

[Brad Garlinghouse @bgarlinghouse]

This is it – the moment we’ve been waiting for. The SEC will drop its appeal – a resounding victory for Ripple, for crypto, every way you look at it.

The future is bright. Let's build.

1. Liquidation doesn’t mean it’s profit for the exchange.
2. Bybit ranks no.1 in liquidation because we give full transparent data on liquidation.

Bom dia! 🇧🇷

[Sebastian Siemiatkowski @klarnaseb]

Ok. I give up. Klarna and me will embrace crypto! More to come

Yes I know! This post will get a huge sigh and 2 views 😂

But it still feels historic. Last large fintech in the world to embrace it. Someone had to be last. And that’s a milestone as well of some sort… 🥳

[Cointelegraph @Cointelegraph]

🔍 INSIGHT: Ripple, $XRP, and XRP Ledger, three different things. Don’t mix them up.

This guy said we used Bitcoin for money laundering and corruption 😂
