Really, I know nothing but a simple Gemini AI search. Pretty sure you guys know all this. I've heard Scams on spaces explain this without AI. He is an AI himself lol. You and scams are awesome and funny :). Much respect to yall. God Bless. ๐
"No, a settlement in a civil case does not mean the settling party is legally admitting guilt or liability. This is a very common misconception.
Here's why:
Avoidance of Cost and Risk: Litigation is incredibly expensive and time-consuming. Trials are also inherently uncertain, as the outcome depends on judges, juries, evidence presented, and witness testimony. Parties often settle simply to avoid the high costs, lengthy process, and unpredictable risks associated with going to trial, regardless of whether they believe they would eventually win or lose.
Desire for Finality: Settling a case brings a definite end to the dispute. A trial verdict can often be appealed, leading to more years of litigation and expense. A settlement provides closure.
Confidentiality: Settlements often include confidentiality clauses, keeping the terms and sometimes the underlying facts of the dispute private. A public trial makes everything part of the public record, which can be damaging to reputations or reveal sensitive business information.
Compromise: Settlements are compromises. Both sides weigh the strengths and weaknesses of their cases and decide that a negotiated outcome is preferable to the risk of getting nothing (for the plaintiff) or facing a potentially larger judgment (for the defendant).
No Admission Clause: Crucially, settlement agreements almost always include specific language stating that the settlement is not an admission of guilt, liability, or wrongdoing by the settling party (often the defendant). This clause explicitly prevents the settlement from being used as evidence of fault in other legal proceedings or contexts.
Civil vs. Criminal: The term "guilt" is primarily used in criminal law. In civil lawsuits (where most settlements occur), the issue is typically "liability" โ meaning legal responsibility for causing harm or damages โ rather than criminal guilt.
Therefore, settling a case is a strategic decision made for various practical, financial, and risk-management reasons, and it should not be interpreted as an admission of fault by the party agreeing to the settlement.
@bigcjat Easier for US Citizens to enter Singapore that the other way around. Entry requirements can have a level of difficulty depending on country to country. This is in response to Sauls question on why Singapore for the XRP Apex. My two cents :)
There's no official ISO list of compliant cryptocurrencies.
"Compliance" refers to the technology's ability to handle ISO 20022 data requirements.
Information on cryptocurrency "compliance" comes from technology providers and industry discussions.
Unfortunately, you won't find a definitive, official list of "ISO 20022 compliant cryptocurrencies" directly from the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) itself. Here's why:
ISO 20022's Focus:
ISO 20022 is a standard for financial messaging, not a certification body for specific technologies or cryptocurrencies.
It defines the data model and messaging syntax that financial institutions should use It is up to the financial institutions, and the technology providers, to implement the standard.
Decentralized Nature of Crypto:
Cryptocurrencies are largely decentralized, and there's no central authority to "certify" them for ISO 20022 compliance.Instead, it's about the capabilities of the underlying blockchain technology to handle the data requirements of the standard.
Implementation, Not Certification:
ISO 20022 is about how financial institutions implement messaging standards.
A blockchain or cryptocurrency can be "compatible" or "capable" of handling ISO 20022 data, but it's the financial institutions using those technologies that must implement the standard correctly.

I have much respect for you Scams but what does all this information/misinformation do for you? I truly hope you continue to educate people on the protocol you believe in and let others believe in whatever they want. I know you are highly intelligent and tech savy but to make your entire day about other competing protocols or companies is not you man. Look around your own home and the things you own or use at home, start researching each and every company from food products to electronics and see if all their business practices fall under "Core Principles of Business Ethics"
One Line item from the Core Principles is...
Transparency and Disclosure:
Providing clear and accurate information to stakeholders.
Being open about business practices and decisions.
Avoiding secrecy and concealment.
Sathoshi who?
cmon man, lets be better than all this back and forth. You are way too intelligent and smart for all this.
I apologize if I upset you with this message Scams. I just truly wish everyone would work together and educate about the potential of technology and innovation. Much respect as always, that wont change. God Bless.
@bgarlinghouse@WhiteHouse@CFTC@NatCryptoAssoc No amount of maximalism or back and forth can win over innovation and technological advancements. Have faith in the tech and the community. Brad, to you and your entire team, thank you for all you guys do. God Bless all!
@jprichardson Live and Let Live guys.... but in case you just cant get yourself to do that... here is something that helps. Have a fantastic day and God Bless you all.
