10 Myths About Me & FTX
1) Myth: FTX was insolvent / $8b vanished
Prosecutors to jurors: I had "more debts than assets"; "there's this giant, massive, unrepayable hole"
Debtors to my judge/Congress: my claim "FTX was solvent" is "false"; I "lost $8b of customer money"
Media to you: "the money is gone"
Truth: FTX was solvent & is repaying customers 119-143%
FTX could afford to repay in kind, until lawyers paid themselves $1b to:
- quickly dismantle the estate
- slowly repay customers

Could go on with this list but anyone can see where this is going....
Some countries are exceptions...but still
EU has become the hydra that needs to be slaughtered for something new, better, and less privacy/freedom invasive to be born, it is literally killing this continent
Orwell would be proud.....
1984 an understatement
Some thoughts on maximalism… let me say this as clearly as I can – the crypto industry has a real shot, here and now, to achieve the many goals we have in common, IF we work together instead of tearing each other down. This is not, and never will be, a zero-sum game.
• I own XRP, BTC, and ETH among a handful of others – we live in a multichain world, and I’ve advocated for a level-playing field, instead of one token versus another.
• If a govt digital asset reserve is created - I believe it should be representative of the industry, not just one token (whether it be BTC, XRP or anything else).
• Maximalism remains the enemy of crypto progress, and I’m very glad to see fewer and fewer folks ascribe to this outdated and misinformed thinking.

Register all your valuables in a central EU register to help with financial transparency! Bank accounts, shares, cars, precious metals, bitcoin, works of art, your tacky Rolex, register it all so we can fight money laundering. Coming soon, maybe.

EU Committee approves:
🚫Prohibition of cash payments over €10,000
🆔Prohibition of anonymous cash payments over €3,000
₿ Prohibition of anonymous crypto payments to hosted wallets without any threshold
This means war on cash and gradual erosion of our financial freedom!

ALT "Generally prohibiting anonymous payments would at best have minimal effects on crime, but it would deprive innocent citizens of their financial freedom." - MEP Patrick Breyer
Sram vas bilo @Zurnal_24 !
Shame on you for promoting such scams! (being a paid ad is no excuse)

Bitcoin is a convenient scapegoat for energy and emissions problems, and an opportunity for bureaucrats to seize power under the guise of responsibility. We must fight it.

End-to-end encryption is the civil right's battle of our time. It's as important as any other right in the Bill of Rights.
Authoritarian regimes oppose it on the principle that they have the right to completely invade your privacy. Free countries that ban end-to-end encryption will become non-free countries, where all Police will become Thought Police.
People work from the principle "but I have nothing to hide". That's like opposing free-speech because "I have nothing say". What you are protecting is the right to hold society and the state accountable for their ills.
For example, Russia jails people for spreading lies about the war in Ukraine and the Russian military. Fighting for Facebook end-to-end encrypted messages means protecting their rights -- the rights of dissidents around the world.
But it also supports dissent here at home. You may not care about this when your preferred president is in power, but then suddenly care a lot when the opposing president takes power.
In other words, Trumpists are certain the corrupt FBI/DoJ illegitimately prosecuted Jan6ers, often by using their text messages in court against them. Conversely, many anti-Trump people think that if he's elected, he's going to corruptly use the FBI/DoJ to prosecute political opponents.
Whichever side you are on, you should definitely want to remove the ability of the FBI/DoJ to collect everybody's text messages.
Today, Meta has chosen to rollout end-to-end-encryption on Facebook Messenger, which means they will no longer be able to keep children safe on their platform.
Today, our role in protecting children from sexual abuse just got harder.

Encryption is a fundamental way to ensure user privacy and safety of network communications. Attempts to undermine it are typical of authoritarian regimes.
Moreover, “delaying its use leaves everyone at risk, including children.”
