Highly recommend this @Gladwell 7-part series The Alabama Murders. It's gripping, it's shocking. It will stay with me for a (long) while. pca.st/podcast/ac371bd0-094f…

1/ Yesterday was a prime example of why crypto Twitter (and often crypto media) should not be trusted when it comes to crypto policy. Let's debunk claims that the EU is banning anonymous crypto transactions or self-custodial wallets. Here is what’s actually in the EU Anti Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) and what in means for crypto in the EU 🧵

Highly recommend the @EBI_EU #158 Working Paper on #MiCA that compares and contrasts existing regulatory regimes in Europe (inc. MiFID, MAR and EMD) authored by @FilippoAnnunzi2 | #crypto #regulation #Europe papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

We received regulatory approval as a Virtual Asset Service Provider from the Austrian Financial Market Authority 🇦🇹 This represents another step in our European expansion, allowing us to offer a wide range of crypto products and services to the Austrian community. @FMA_AT

We have received registration approval from the French Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) as a Digital Asset Service Provider 🇫🇷 This registration aligns with our goal to be Europe's top crypto exchange, enabling us to support French customers in their crypto journey.

Highly recommend listening to Bone Valley. It's a gripping story on a fight for justice and will stay with me for a while I'm sure. Find the petition after you've listened and want to be part of a change. TY Starlee for the alert.
Okay before Twitter deflates, can everyone who has listened to Bone Valley tweet about it so that it can find an audience? I had nothing to do with making it but I’m frustrated by how little coverage it’s gotten. An innocent man’s life literally depends on this show being heard

.@StarleeKine - couple of words : #btcpayserver #telegram #raspberrypi meets + powers #MS. Check this thread to see how #RadioSatoshi podcast made it work.
"#Bitcoin is veel te moeilijk, niemand gaat op die manier betalen." Dat is wat ik hoorde toen ik begin 2020 de donaties voor mijn podcast (@RadioSatoshi) uitsluitend via bitcoin wilde ontvangen. Inmiddels ontvangen we donaties uit elke hoek van de wereld. Benieuwd hoe?
Enjoying the #awssummit, balancing some high level talks and more technical talks and following along with live coding. Can't wait to take some next steps on trying out some of the services as part of my #Python journey.

.@MahirAlkaya makes valid points in the plenary debate on #AMLD5, reminiscent of @coincenter Feb 2019 report that makes the point that benefits of cash (defined as private, peer-to-peer, bearer monetary instruments) far outweigh the costs. URL coincenter.org/entry/the-cas…

Weekend listening. @PeterMcCormack interviews @aantonop. Quote from the top of the show below (why #bitcoin?).

Thanks,@bvanmaarseveen. Really enjoyed the conversation on imminent #regs that will impact #cryptocurrency providers (incl exchange service and wallet providers) across Europe.
What a day! Morning #mooc on #crypto #regulation & afternoon with @Rieke on #AMLD5 as enforced by @DNB_NL. Closing with #bitcoincafe070 🍺 @blockbar070 @The_Hague_Tech #blockchain

Weekend listening (referenced during my talk) : The Missing Cryptoqueen, the whole series (bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd8…) and Ep#122 Blockchain Insider (fireside.fm/s/Fs_9V6FE+_idJm…).

Sharing link to interview w/ @DTAPCAP. Stresses the importance of educating politicians and central banks on the opportunities of this extraordinary #bitcoin eco-system, & remove the general hostility with policy- and lawmakers (see also quote below, edited for content).
A friend of mine and @theirishhodler came to us yesterday asking about Bitcoin. For better or worse we pointed him to this video. Watch "🔴 Bitcoin , Gold, and The Future of Macro Investing (w/ Dan Tapiero) #Crypto" on YouTube youtu.be/BtjziNDqC4E
I concur with @finhstamsterdam's concerns over NL's imminent expansion of the scope of regulation beyond #AMLD5 for #cryptocurrency intermediaries. Lack of uniformity within #EU creates onerous state-by-state patchwork of regulatory regimes, and presents a barrier to innovation.
