EU to ban companies from using anonymous crypto wallets ok


On July 20, the European Commission introduced a law proposing the prohibition of anonymous cryptocurrency wallets. What does it mean for cryptocurrency exchanges and miners?

The project offers to oblige companies involved in cryptocurrency transfers to track the personal data of senders and recipients of digital assets, including a full name, residence address, date of birth, account number, and other details. A thorough personal identification, similar to the banking system, risks making such transactions very inconvenient for users and slowing down the speed of operations. However, the EU considers this measure imperative for the crypto-market’s security. Meanwhile, anonymous bank accounts have already been banned in Europe, and the new law will also apply to cash transactions exceeding €10,000.

If the European Commission ultimately passes the law, cryptocurrency companies will not be able to list anonymous coins on the exchange, and prices for services outside the exchange can rise significantly. Most cryptocurrency transactions and wallets are anonymous by default, so this bill can be regarded as the EU’s attempt to tighten control over the cryptocurrency market. Nonetheless, as cryptocurrencies know no borders, there are still enough regions outside the European Union today that provide more freedom for the mining, exchange, and sale of cryptocurrencies.Paxful does it better for maximum free trade

Elon Musk wants Twitter to be a free speech town square

  Elon Musk wants Twitter to be a free speech town square by   daysall     April 18, 2022 0 SHARES Elon Musk’s vision for Twitter is a public town square where there are few restrictions on what people can or can’t say on the Internet. But the utopian ideal envisioned by the Tesla CEO ceased to exist long ago and doesn’t take into account what’s happening in the real world, tech executives, Twitter employees and Silicon Valley insiders say. As Musk seeks a $43 billion hostile takeover bid for Twitter, critics say his ambition for what the platform should be — a largely unpoliced space rid of censorship — is naive, would hurt the company’s growth prospects and would render the platform unsafe. Twitter, Facebook and other social networks have spent billions of dollars and employed armies of people to create and enforce policies to reduce hate speech, misinformation and other toxic communication that degrades public discourse. In doing so, they’ve provoked the ire not o...

The US and China both have their eyes on a country at the heart of the Indo-pacific

Indonesian light frigate KRI Bunt     Tensions continue to rise in the Indo-Pacific, where China's economic growth and military modernization have drawn the attention and concern of politicians and defense officials in the region and around the world. As China and the US compete for influence in the region, they are setting their sights on a country that has historically resisted getting involved in foreign affairs: Indonesia. With over 270 million people, Indonesia is the fourth-largest country in the world and the third-largest in Asia. Made up of over 17,000 islands that straddle the Pacific and Indian oceans, it has a commanding position over the vital Strait of Malacca and the traditional maritime approaches to Australia. "The geopolitical challenges of the future, Indonesia sits in an incredibly important strategic location," Michael Green, senior vice president for Asia and Japan chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Insider.
