@JesseLeeDow1 @VRVitaly One could follow you and see your reasons, but that would be too easy, right?

@JesseLeeDow1 @dany_uyuy @dhurstell VRVP is available on any plan above basic.

@JesseLeeDow1 Nice. I had to grab $PYPL and $ARKG today also - the discounts were too good to pass up.

I was a little surprised you added to your Oct $115 $PYPL calls here until I realized they were a mere $0.07 😂

[ƤaradoxĐ 🏴‍☠️ @ParadoxD300]

@JesseLeeDow1 What's your thinking behind the $115 $PYPL call? You don't do very many short-term options, so I'm very curious about it.

It’s time to scrap AML / KYC entirely.

The idea that politicians should know how citizens spend their money is a new and deeply flawed idea.

An entire generation has been fooled into thinking this is a necessary part of finance and the world continues to double down on an unworkable system.

Only 30 years ago when I started my career as a stockbroker/ financial advisor I could call you on the phone and sell you MSFT or IBM stock and I did not need your DOB or your social security number. You didn’t even need to have money in the account.

The 1990s to the post 9-11 Patriot Act (which was a horrible law) saw a radical increase in AML /KYC requirements. These seem to get worse every year.

In my office when we were first required to take a drivers license, the older brokers were incredulous: “What do you mean we need an ID for someone buying stocks?!? What’s next, you need an ID to buy gas or groceries?”

Now, just 25 years later an entire generation thinks this is normal or how it should be. Worse yet, some think the system won’t work without it. The opposite is true — the compliance gums up the works and adds friction where it should not exist.

While the regulator class arrogantly acts as if AML KYC is their birthright and ending it is some sort of untouchable rail, the justifications are weak. Why do we have these regimes? To stop “money laundering”? What is that? Who is the victim? Is it to stop “human trafficking” or “terrorism”? If so, how? Is it to “stop” the 12,000 entities on the OFAC list by messing with the 2,000,000,000 people not on the list?

Are major criminals somehow stopped by this? Has it stopped crime? Even if it did, is it worth burdening millions of firms and billions of people with paperwork and procedures that slow down commerce? Shouldn’t efforts be made to go after the actual criminals rather than encumbering the entire world with an inefficient compliance regime?

Money must be able to flow and move. People must be able to take risks and make investments as they choose. This is the lifeblood of a solid economy and the jobs, growth, prosperity and peace that comes with it. The US (and by extension much of the world due to our influence) is sacrificing jobs, innovation and opportunities by chasing an extremely ineffective and indirect compliance regime.

The entire idea belongs back in the dumpster of history. Let the investigators chase terrorists & human traffickers for those actual crimes and let the other billions of us use and move our money as we wish.

1/ The SEC’s actions today continue the pattern of an irresponsible regulation-by-enforcement approach that hurts entrepreneurs, investors, and consumers while threatening to stifle innovation and drive responsible companies away from the US.

This three minute masterclass by @ErikVoorhees on why fiat money is bad money is both hilarious and revealing.

Share it with anyone who has no clue about money.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

1/ Today Coinbase received a Wells notice from the SEC focused on staking and asset listings. A Wells notice typically precedes an enforcement action.

When you are debating on taking profit, take it. When you are debating on an entry, wait. Taking profit is a battle of greed while finding a good entry is a battle of patience.

@hashoshi4 @CelsiusNetwork Holy hell, thanks for this. I saw the email but must have glossed over the part where they needed to be proactively accepted.
