I'm going to make sure every receipt for every purchase of mine over $600 reads "One (1) Loaf of Bread".

tldr; The largest US banking lobby groups on Friday urged members of the US Congress to oppose a proposed bank account reporting law being drawn up as part of the congressional reconciliation package. In a letter to US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, the lobby groups said the proposal would create "reputational challenges" for large financial services firms and increase the cost of tax preparations for Americans and small businesses.

Notice the banks say they don’t want this, because they know everyone will fuck off into crypto

Another reason why Crypto will start to take over.

Expect any buying/selling platform like ebay and amazon to push back against it too. I know a few people who are going to stop selling stuff online because it's not worth the extra hassle

So the article is saying that ETH is setting up a battle between Holders and users coz of the damn high fees?

Excellent work, Devs!

Another step on the 1000 mile march to victory

Wonder if AAVE hits optimism before arbitrum

This is excellent

tldr; Optimistic Ethereum has released its most significant improvement to its codebase since its inception. The upgrade removes over 25,000 lines of other code in favor of simply using what already exists. Any tooling that can run on Ethereum will run identically on Optimistic. The rollout begins in a few weeks.

simply using what already exists

That is one of the best feelings in the world.

Also excited to see how things play out with the deployments.

Says the proposal is cancelled. Am I missing something ?Thanks for sharing. I think such active investor groups can definitely pool together to play a role similar to active shareholders in the future (Ex: Carl Ichan at Apple. He was one individual in my example and not a group). Interesting to see how governance systems adapt.

All said and done, wouldn't the founder/CEO/Dev teams have the most number of votes to shoot down such hostile takeovers ?

So another Bitcoin SV? Hell yah, teach these investors not to fuck with shady-ass scam-coins. What dark, dank alley do they transverse through to even find these coins anyway?

The Venus Protocol sounds like a sci-fi military movie.

Venus' old team was a joke, for months their stablecoin VAI was below peg and dropped almost to 60c to a dollar at one point.

r/CryptoCurrency/comments/lrlb4k/binance_chain_is_full_of_incompetent_projects/

Binance is one of the large stakeholders in Venus and its governance token XVS. The earlier Venus team was headed by Joselito, one of Binance's most incompetent teams, and was ousted even before this vote.

It looks like the hostile takeover vote was won by the new team seeking to takeover the protocol, however it seems the vote itself has now been cancelled. Will update as I get more information

You may also book hotels and flights using XcelDefi from XcelTrip, and they will shortly launch their own DEX xcelswap, where Xceldefi holders will be able to govern forthcoming projects on Xcelswap since it is a governance token for XcelSwap.

Nice, though I will say the use of emojis like this in the title reminds me of posts in /r/cryptomoonshots

Yehey 🎉

Great work in progress.

I am starting to understand your focus

I’ll be staying here!

It’s beautiful !!

So this is the "operating system" he was talking about? Am I missing something or would this not solve the issue he talks about: developers controlling their front end. Someone still has to make the app. Storing it somewhere else doesn't change that.

Also the uniswap example is ridiculous considering their app is open source. You can download any version you want or modify it how you see fit: https://github.com/Uniswap/interface

Since it is a bit difficult for people to know what are some good apps out there to add, I have compiled a list of some Homescreen compatible dApps. If anyone has others that people would like added to the list (can be either .hns or .eth) just let me know and I'll update the list below.

You see, something Iike this should be out there, marketed and advertised, yet he we are ……

Effing FINALLY!!

Good news, if you start advertising, we will fly very high🤑🤑1$🚀🚀

Lol, needless to say that now every second bets on sports or plays online casino? So I recommend to pay attention to CryptoStake, it is worth it.

This is about bitcoin, and not the decentralized nature of the federal reserve system as I had hoped from the headline.

Balanced:

"The crooks, fools and proselytisers are off-putting. Nevertheless, the rise of an ecosystem of financial services, known as decentralised finance, or “DeFi”, deserves sober consideration."

Thank this post to u/cryptopunk661 🙏💙

Weird to say a distraction. Both have entirely different functions

"Ethereum is a self-improvement machine. [...] There will be new versions of Ethereum;" Nice seeing this put forward as an advantage.

"other, better blockchains could one day replace it." Possible but not any time soon.

Calling Bitcoin a distraction 🤡

tldr; The rise of an ecosystem of financial services, known as decentralised finance, or “DeFi”, has the potential to rewire how the financial system works, writes Andrew Keen. The proliferation of innovation in DeFi is akin to the frenzy of invention in the early phase of the web, Keen writes. DeFi offers an alternative path which aims to spread power, not concentrate it

Wow, I never knew there was an entire chain of networks surrounding AVAX

AVAX keeps going from strength to strength

Looks like it's taking a breather now but wouldn't be surprised if it starts back up again soon. Wish I got in a lot earlier than I did

Noted; thought have seen this before though

I'd be very cautious with Polychain Capital. They invested heavily in Tezos during the ICO, but over the last year or so have been singlehandedly responsible for dumping on every pump. VC money poisons the well. They will sell right when the project looks to be succeeding.

Hmm cool but they don't tell us the valuation.

Guys buy the coins in avax ecosystem, they will grow up fast and they are cheap.Im holding Prosper (PROS) which is in avax ecosys. and it’s doing good for now DYOR.

What was the token price for this funding round?

HUGE!!!

Screw this VC chain.

Nas - King's Disease II (Explicit) (2021) by Nonacerdnaxela on Audius https://audius.co/erdnaxela/album/nas-kings-disease-ii-explicit-2021-64947 Homie has a Nas album up Among a bunch of other tracks that he/she/they have no ownership of afaik. What does Nas think about that? There are a ton of examples on Audius of this. Is this what the future looks like? I can imagine a bunch of not so good scenarios involving rights owners with power. I truely dislike Spotipimps modus operandi but this type of blatant hi jacking of intellectual property is almost worse. Just my 2 cents.

If Tidal couldn't make it with Madonna, Rihanna, Coldplay, Jay-Z, Bey, etc. then there's no chance in hell this will.

Super awesome!!

Flop era continues 😩

i tried audius a few months ago and kinda hated it 😭

Ive head this one before.. what was it.. TIDL?

Who's switching a streaming service just for Katy Perry? Delusional

"When you play a song on major streaming platforms, money doesn’t just zoom straight into an artist’s pocket. But what if it did? That’s how payments are designed to work on Audius..."

Except Audius does not pay the artists.

Good luck with that. After investing years in collecting hundreds of hours of music on Spotify the only thing that would make me pay for a new service is if they could guarantee that I’m gonna find music that I can’t find on Spotify. I miss a lot of indie and underground stuff that I used to listen to from smaller record labels and producers.

hmm

I hope it's available everywhere. I remember when Lemonade came out as a Tidal exclusive, I was willing to download Tidal and listen to it there only to realise it wasn't fucking available here.

Alright I mean good luck lol

I would guess their “edge” will be artists getting paid more. Katy Perry’s label is based around artists getting treated well.

So they never heard of the fiasco Tidal was?

Oh, crypto. Just what we need more of, because we aren't ruining the climate fast enough.

Oh you guys use Spotify? I use YouTube music ^_^

Thank this post to u/zambucaaa 🙏💙

This is huge. As much as I support small, lesser known struggling artists, these established well known artists and music executives will shine a big light on Audius.

Capitalism is so dumb.

tldr; San Francisco-based music streaming startup Audius is about to announce a $5 million investment round led by major music celebrities. Artists like Katy Perry, Nas, The Chainsmokers, Jason Derulo, Pusha T, Steve Aoki, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, and Disclosure are among the investors. Martin Bandier, who ran Sony/ATV Music Publishing as its chairman and CEO for 11 years, also invested in the round.

will this have the same environmental issues that NFTs do?

The branding and the interface look awful. It’s like a watered down version of Deezer.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)

It adopted a patent pledge promising that it will only use its own software patents defensively-that is, it won't use them to sue or demand licensing fees others for using similar technologies, but it may use them to defend itself from the patent lawsuits of others.

It shared its patents under the Defensive Patent License, licensing its patents to any other person or company who agrees to the terms of the DPL. It introduced a modified version of the Innovator's Patent Agreement, an agreement with Blockstream inventors that it may file patents for their inventions but may not use them offensively.

We also admire the company's acknowledgement that licenses and pledges alone can't fix a patent system that's all too easily exploited by patent trolls, nor can it stop the real root cause of the problems in the patent system, the flood of stupid patents.

My admittedly cursory reading of the DPL (and IANAL) seems to indicate that even "accidentally" failing to meet a DPL provision effectively removes that party from the DPL community, and that there are no punishments or consequences for this happening. Does this thing really have any teeth? Has it been adjudicated or litigated anywhere?

I'm glad that they filed it if they never use it. All I want is a binding statement which says this. Instead we have a situation where they could revoke their "royalty free" part anytime they want.

fuck hyperledger

The Soros funded EFF?

Good news.

Phew, as long as we haven't seen any examples of defensive patents being a bad idea.

And the motherfucker just chills out on Reddit and scores a handful of upvotes when he comments. Best

Classic Vitalik outfit. I like that guy!

Tip this post.

if i see this posted 1 more time

Good for him, he worked hard for it. If i could achieve 10% of what he did in the future i would be happy.

With that said, if i was Vitalik i would purge those "Jesus" pictures from the internet.

Time Magazine, or someone high up in their company, is really into cryptocurrency which seems kind of random. But I've said in the past that you can just go down the list of anyone who's won any type of honor like this and you will quickly stop taking it seriously.

He's worth it. Hopefully he's on the top 30.

Wait until people realize this is an understatement. Once the full capabilities of blockchain technology comes to fruition, Vitalik will be named a God amongst the people.

Oh Charles didn't make it there eventhough he released his elaborate smart contracts?

tldr; Ray Dalio, founder of the world's largest hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, believes regulators would ultimately take control of bitcoin if the cryptocurrency gains mainstream success. "I think at the end of the day if it's really successful, they will kill it and they will try to kill it," Dalio said. The crypto has more than quadrupled the last 12 months and was last around $47,500.

How Ray? How?

How though? He never gives any technical explanation to back his ramblings.

Newsflash Ray - Bitcoin is already successful. It’s a trillion $ asset and legal tender in El Salvador.

He’s not wrong. They’ll pull every lever if people think that something will threaten their money /jobs/status. Don’t underestimate how much control the state has over your life.

This 80us looking guy does really not know what he is talking about😂😂😂

That ain't gonna happen anymore.

Good luck.

How’s that war on drugs going, by the way?

I disagree, because too many rich people have embraced it. But lets be clear: if Institutions were heavily regulated against it, and US ISP’s/Mobile providers were instructed to block a broad range of apps and exchanges, then Bitcoin/crypto winter would descend like a plague on all our houses.

Yes, that would only be an intermission for BTC…but it would be a long, long, painful intermission.

I think we have passed this, by a wide margin. Its not about whether they could kill it, western countries don't even want to kill it.

From Germany to Hungary EU countries have started to tax crypto in a regulated way as its own asset class aka. they accept it.
The US regulation, even in the worst case where individual miners would have had to do KYC, also means acceptance.

Shitty regulatory acceptance is still acceptance. After that you just got to wait for the amount of btc wallets to grow in congress :).

This is very old news and was published on his blog in January. In a recent interview though he mentioned he owns Bitcoin:

• https://twitter.com/DocumentingBTC/status/1438139334302085122

• https://www.bridgewater.com/research-and-insights/our-thoughts-on-bitcoin

If you can picture a draconian world government, you can see bitcoin being regulated to death.

Technically the only thing that can kill bitcoin is nuclear annihilation. That would kill all other wealth as well. What good is a gold bar if its irradiated? Aside from that worldwide regulation would be required. Like a draconian future, where the population is under the thumb of a world government.

Oh no. Anyway

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon

Warren G was on the streets tryin' to consume

Hehehe oh Ray, you sweet summer child

Have fun staying poor

US is crooks

There is so much worldwide investment from big companies and institutions that it won’t disappear. Blockchain technology is the future. However, there will certainly be a lot of regulation to come which will lead to some small or large crashes, and more than half the existing coins will be gone. Certain countries will bring out their own centralised crypto which gives them huge control. Other existing crypto will be used alongside it for their obvious utility. Bitcoin will hit a few more bumpy moments but will ultimately be an asset like gold. Just my thoughts.

tldr; A dogfight is breaking out over who has claim to the dogecoin name. Dogecoin is a digital currency made famous for its satire of the cryptocurrency universe. Originally designed as a joke in a handful of hours, dogecoin pays homage to a 2013 viral internet meme of a Shiba Inu dog with bad spelling habits (thus doge instead of dog).

This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

Dogecoin will have its own skyscraper in New York :D

Tbh the Doge brand is one of the biggest in crypto, despite the coin being a meme

IIRC the Ethereum Foundation controls the "ether" brand. IMO this sort of thing happening is a bit of a sign that Doge is bending further away from Bitcoin, and closer to being like Ethereum. This is also consistent with the fact that Vitalik Buterin now sits with the Dogecoin Foundation's Board, and the plans to build two-way pegging between ETH and DOGE.

Thanks daddy

Article hidden behind paywall. What justification do any of these people have to argue they should own the trademark? Seems like bearish news for dogecoin

🤢 🤢 🤮 🤮

For as shit if a coin as it is, can’t blame em for wanting to trademark their name.

Good news for the memecoin

Dog wants to be everywhere.

My dumbass read the word "exclusive" as "expletive"... Still made sense though.
