    If the US Govt. gets the sense that crypto is a threat to the US Dollar they'll ban it here as well.  We can stop pretending that China is unique in its sense of self preservation - we've been pretty draconian over here at times as well.

    Unless of course the people making the laws are heavily invested in it themselves.......
    An anonymous, difficult to track money laundering vehicle, what government official would ever be interested in something like that?

    Right.

    Until such time as crypto can be audited it needs to be outlawed.
    This is just another way for our politicians to be purchased.

    Check this out. Every large movement from every single wallet all day everyday. From point A to point B.  100,000,000 USDC moved from ____  exchange to unkown wallet. 

    https://etherscan.io/
    here you can see EVERY movement on the Etherium blockchain. 

    "Who" is something that is not easily seen, but is easily found out whenever whoever that person is whats to find out. It becomes even easier when the crypto currencies hit off ramps to fiat. 

    Just like fiat exxhanging hand to hand is hard to trace. Unlike fiat there is a immutible followable record.

    Auditing crypto doesn't work too well: You can show the legit part of your money and hide the illegal part in anonymous wallet.

    If cryptocurrency transactions make it so easy to track down who is involved, then why do ransomware scammers want to be paid in cryptocurrency?  Wouldn't that make it easy to find out who they are, arrest them, and send them to prison?  Unless, of course, it's actually quite difficult to track down who is involved in the transaction.

    lol i dont think crypto supporters understand. Having worked as a market maker in the NYSE and in commodity markets, crypto is just a HUGE SCAM where criminal mega players have cornered the market and are just sucking in millions of innocent traders, ready to vacuum them dry when the big players dump everything. lol, it's the same as scams like the cornering of the silver market in 1980 (which did not end well for the scammers, but all the small guys lost al their money): the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Thursday

    1980 - 8 track casset player were still in cars
             - Ronald Ragan was begining his  first term
             - The space shuttle was only a dream
             - The concept of cable TV was new. 98% of homes had huge                            antinas on their  roofs.
             - Personal computers ran on casset tapes.

    Today Automatic market makers AMM are driving the market. Uniswap being the leader. Permissionless offering yield bearing liquidity pools for instant trades. Running the back end for those apps you trade with on your phone. Here brush up on how todays market works -
    https://academy.shrimpy.io/post/what-is-an-amm-automated-market-maker

    Ever wonder why your stocks are moving the way they do? Did you think that actual real people were place 100s of million trades a day by clicking buy or sale? 

    Yes, you were replaced by an algorithm


    Fun Fact - Not to long before 1980 alternating current was scary and cars were seen as impractical.

    Interesting development in this^^^^story. VISA depolyed its first Universal Payment Channel contract on Etherium's Ropsten testnet around 9:30 EST lastnight.

    To take it a step a step further accounts associated  seems to have worked a bit on Fantom and a lot on Polygon.

    Why is this so interesting? People are watching real time what VISA is doing. 

    Let that sink in. VISA's inner workings are being watched real time by the public.

    The Transparency of blockchain is powerful.

    Because none of the Pandora papers come from crypto banks. If we had a crypto bank's data instead then we'd have the exact opposite result that 99,9% of hidden investments are in crypto.

    Also what Pandora Papers revealed was hidden investments. Corruption can be deduced in some cases when the owner of hidden investments in a politician, but Pandora Papers don't really tell how the money originally came, just who it owns it.

    The crypto bank employee who gave that "corruption" statistics naturally called it corruption (or anything but hidden investments), since he also gives advice on how to hide your property from government using crypto so that you can avoid taxes and it would be very bad business for him to tell it as it is: Those papers just revealed immense amounts of money that people were hiding from their governments.

    1 1/2 months ago. China FUD. Bitcoin is dead

    Today - Bitcoin ETF hits the NYSE. Bitcoin touches all-time high $64,343


    Question, If the SEC believes crypto is safe enough for your retirement fund, why is the anti-crypto sentiment so pervasive on these forums?
  • AsheramAsheram Member EpicPosts: 5,078
    So if china banned crypto and epic which is 40% owned by china company tencent is embracing crypto where does that leave tencent?

    The guy is totally correct.

    What do you think these crooks do with the crypto they’ve scammed and ransomed?

    Why convert it into fiat of course.

    Nice way to launder, these days as well.
