#**The Vitalik 'burn' stunt and price dump** The SHIB owners are reckless and manipulative revisionists. 'Burning' half the SHIB supply to Vitalik Buterin's wallet was nothing more than a marketing stunt as they had absolutely zero clue what Buterin would do with it. Buterin then decided to donate $1 billion worth to an Indian corona relief fund, leading the SHIB owners to subsequently claim some disgusting moral victory that this was somehow thanks to SHIB. Meanwhile the coin plummeted in value after this event, leading to losses for whomever sold. To this day the SHIB owners gloat that Buterin is 'a friend of SHIB' and that 'SHIB led to that amazing donation', pissing on the graves of all of those who lost money in the wake of that event. Meanwhile they also pretend that the most important thing about SHIB is the community. But apparently the community can go [expletive] themselves if it means the SHIB team can abuse them for some PR stunt. #**The 'top secret' roadmap** Furthermore, for a coin supposedly centered around it's community, the SHIB team speaks of a 'top secret 2021 Ruffmap with a real budget' that they do not elaborate on. Once more proving that the SHIB team does not care about its community, because if they did this 'Ruffmap' would not be 'top secret' but out in the open for the community to know about. It also leads you to wonder if this 'Ruffmap' is even real or just an empty promise. #**Decentralisation issues** Another indicator of SHIB's empty speech about community is the [Certik audit page](https://www.certik.org/projects/shib) pointing out that the weakest link of the project is.. decentralisation. Very ironic for a project that starts off and takes pride in being "an experiment in decentralized spontaneous community building". #**The mysterious team** As for the SHIB team mentioned in this post, they are nothing but a mystery. Or, as the [Coinbureau](https://www.coinbureau.com/review/shiba-inu/) review put it: > I’ve seen no mention of a development team, and the founder of the token “Ryoshi” fully admits in his initial post on Medium that the token wasn’t even rolled by him, but instead was created by a friend who locked half the supply in a Uniswap contract and then sent the rest to Ryoshi’s wallet. One could interpret this in the sense of the SHIB community being the key focus here, but as pointed out above the SHIB team or whoever these mysterious figures are seem to care little about their community, despite their claims. #**Technical documentation** ERROR 404, page not found #**Conclusion** At best SHIB is a ship (pardon the pun) that is indeed community based, but left rudderless by the creators. What seems more likely, however, is that it's heavily centralised (despite their own claims) and manipulated from behind the curtains by the (probably deliberately) invisible team. *Bonus con: their 'Woofpaper' PDF literally [won't open properly](https://i.imgur.com/jkFNlnD.jpg) in my Adobe PDF reader and the Chrome browser version is laggy. What kind of project can't even provide a properly working PDF?*
Thanks for your effort in educated people on the subject. Would mind sharing the PDF here so we can share to others as well.

My monthly power bill, just used the PDF I get emailed. They wouldn't accept my passport as it's not from the country I live in, so dumb. Had to use my drivers licence
A lot shitcoins just have their website as a PDF as their whitepaper.
If anyone has a link or could sen me the PDF if would be really grateful! I want it so bad!
Hi OP, Thank you for creating this. Is there a PDF link or more in-depth walkthrough of how the LRC token works? Thank you so much.

Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency with a value fixed to other assets (usually assets outside of the cryptocurrency space, e.g. fiat currencies, precious metals, etc.). Their main purposes are: 1) help investors escape the volatility of the cryptocurrency market and 2) allow investors to buy cryptocurrencies on exchanges that do not offer fiat deposits. USDC is currently the second largest stablecoin. \[1\], \[2\], \[3\] # Cons **It’s centralized** Decentralization is one of the core principles of crypto industry. USDC is centralized. Centre (nomen omen), the consortium that is responsible for USDC, can freeze anyone’s USDC assets whenever they want to. In 2020, they blacklisted an address and froze $100,000 in USDC on it in response to a request from law enforcement \[4\]. In this case, the freezing of assets was praiseworthy but nothing stops Centre from freezing assets in more controversial circumstances. ​ **It has fewer trading pairs and blockchains than tether** USDC announced in June 2021 that it wants to expand to 10 more blockchains in the near future \[5\]. But as of now, it’s present on 5 blockchains (Ethereum, Algorand, Solana, Stellar and Tron) whereas USDT, its main competitor, is available on 8 blockchains. \[6\] USDC is even more pale in comparison to USDT when it comes to the number of available trading pairs. There are barely any coins that aren’t paired with USDT, when USDC usually allows to buy only the most popular coins. ​ **Is it really that transparent?** Circle claimed in the past that all USD Coins are backed 1:1 against US dollar (cash). This is not the case anymore. And while people praise USDC for being more transparent than Tether and having better, more reliable reserve composition, just until recently Tether was completely nontransparent and lied about its reserves, so it’s hard to look bad when compared to Tether. Circle isn’t in fact that transparent. For example, they don’t disclose too much information about funds referred to as “approved investments”. **We don’t know how risky those investments are.** USDC has licenses in most of the states in the US. Some of those states have absolutely no restrictions and if Circle operates under the license from one of those states, it can invest in anything it wants. \[7\] Also, if you compare USDC’s breakdowns to e.g. breakdowns done by banks or other financial institutions, it’s clear that **there’s room for much more transparency**. Take a look at e.g. JP Morgan’s breakdown: [https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/products/jpmorgan-prime-money-market-fund-morgan-4812a2702#/portfolio](https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/products/jpmorgan-prime-money-market-fund-morgan-4812a2702#/portfolio) As you can see, there’s a lot of more details. You can check the issuer, market value, CUSIP number, effective maturity and so on **for each asset**. This kind of information is absent in USDC’s breakdowns. ​ **There are more transparent stablecoins and stablecoins fully backed by cash** There are other stablecoins which are transparent and release independent, monthly audit reports about their backing. But what is more important – **there are stablecoins that are fully backed by cash**. Gemini USD (GUSD) or TrueUSD (TUSD) are two examples. \[8\] Also, Tether is often criticized for being a very small company with very few employees and yet managing billions in assets. However, **Center had only one employee** since December 2020 to March 2021 – its CEO. Currently, it hires 6 people. \[9\] ​ **Regulatory risk** Recently, regulatory activities have been accelerating. Gary Gensler, the head of the Security and Exchanges Commission (SEC) has asked for more authority to regulate cryptocurrency with the focus on stablecoins. Moreover, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has said that a U.S. **central bank digital currency could eliminate the need for stablecoins like USDC**. And since USDC is a centralized stablecoin, a regulatory crackdown and a US CBDC could drive out USDC. **\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** **^(Sources:)** ^(\[1\] https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hubfs/9304636/PDF/centre-whitepaper.pdf) ^(\[2\] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USD\\Coin)) ^(\[3\] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stablecoin) ^(\[4\] https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2020/07/08/circle-confirms-freezing-100k-in-usdc-at-law-enforcements-request/) ^(\[5\] https://www.centre.io/blog/announcing-usdc-on-ten-new-blockchain-platforms) ^(\[6\] https://www.circle.com/en/multichain-usdc) ^(\[7\] htps://assets.ctfassets.net/jg6lo9a2ukvr/3U43d7lUPmunUNLa0f9xui/24e439e3040c92179245485ebd1b5ba1/Gemini\\Dollar\_Examination\_Report\_08-31-21.pdf)) ^(\[8\] https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/07/06/circle-isnt-winning-the-stablecoin-transparency-race/) ^(\[9\] https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/08/30/centre-consortium-hires-six-employees-including-former-circle-robinhood-executives/)

There are also many more questions in regards to the credibility of Tether’s reports. \[4\], \[5\] And USDC may soon leave Tether far behind as Circle, the company that issues and backs USDC, stated that it wants the reserves to consist only of cash, cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury bonds in the near future. \[6\] What the stablecoin reserves consist of is extremely important for liquidity. If a lot of people decided to cash out at the same time and there was no liquidity it could end in a disaster for the whole market. ​ **It’s partnered with Coinbase, Visa and others** Circle has partnered with Coinbase and together they founded a consortium named Centre that governs USDC. Circle has also partnered with banking institutions, including Signature Bank and Visa. The companies that invested in Circle include **Goldman Sachs**, Digital Currency Group (**Grayscale** Investments), **Fidelity** and **FTX**. It is also worth mentioning that Circle wants to follow in the footsteps of their partners (Coinbase) and also become a publicly traded company, which would add even more credibility to USDC. \[7\] ​ **It’s transparent** USDC is transparent in terms of its financial operations. It follows the US laws closely. It is also **audited by Grant Thornton, LLP every month** and monthly reports can be found on the [Centre Consortium’s website](https://www.centre.io/usdc-transparency). The reports, of course, include information on USDC reserves. ​ **It’s growing rapidly** At the beginning of the year, USDT had a 5 times bigger market cap than USDC ($20B vs. $4B). In September 2021, this difference is much smaller and USDT is now only 2 times bigger than USDC. One can argue that 2 times bigger market cap is still a big difference but be aware that **between April 2021 and September 2021 market cap of USDC grew by 200% while Tether’s market cap grew by 10%.** Also, while USDT’s daily volume decreased, USDC’s volume is on a rise. ​ **Coinsmart replaces Tether with USDC** On September 15, 2021, Coinsmart, Canadian cryptocurrency exchange, delisted USDT and adopted USDC instead \[8\]. As regulators take a closer look at stablecoins, this trend might continue and **more entities might drop Tether in favor of a more transparent stablecoins.** ​ **USDC is centralized. But is it so bad in the case of a stablecoin?** Those who criticize USDC and other centralized stablecoins often give the example of DAI which in their opinion is decentralized. There is no question about USDC being dependent on Centre, but it must be said that DAI, on the other hand, is heavily dependent on USDC - more than half of DAI is generated by USDC collateral and collateralizetion against Centre’s stablecoin is more than 25%. \[10\] Decentralization is essential for cryptocurrency. But so is replacing fiat. So, is decentralization that important in the case of a stablecoin anyway? \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **^(Sources:)** ^(\[1\] https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hubfs/9304636/PDF/centre-whitepaper.pdf) ^(\[2\] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USD\\Coin)) ^(\[3\] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stablecoin) ^(\[4\] https://www.centre.io/hubfs/pdfs/attestation/2021%20Circle%20Examination%20Report%20August%202021%20Final.pdf?hsLang=en) ^(\[5\] https://tether.to/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/tether\\assuranceconsolidated\_reserves\_report\_2021-06-30.pdf)) ^(\[6\] https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/23/crypto-usdc-stablecoin-to-change-reserves-composition.html) ^(\[7\] https://fortune.com/2021/05/28/crypto-startup-circle-fidelity-ftx-stablecoin-usdc-coinbase-funding-spac/) ^(\[8\] https://twitter.com/CoinSmart/status/1433472681626722309) ^(\[9\] https://www.coinsmart.com/blog/what-is-usdc/) ^(\[10\] https://daistats.com/#/)

>Crypto was not used to launder money according to Pandora papers. Because Crypto is still a new form of currency. Once it becomes the standard, we'll see a Panama PDF in the year 2036.
Prepping for the final leg of alt season. Google "Wolong God PDF".
#Regulation - Pro Arguments (Part 2/2) ##Clarity please - While some attempts at regulating crypto are draconian or misguided, in many cases it is *the lack of regulation* - or regulatory clarity - that harms consumers: >[It is not the SEC’s overzealous action that has stifled the crypto industry, but its unwillingness to take meaningful action at all.](https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-how-we-howey-050919) - Why is manipulation so prevalent in crypto markets? Because no one is doing anything to combat it: >[Currently, a lack of regulation and enforcement, as well as weak or absent oversight from exchanges, allows this form of manipulation to persist and flourish ... If regulators and exchanges continue to turn a blind eye, cryptocurrency pump-and-dumps are likely to continue.](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf) - Rather than just saying 'buyer beware',[ regulation aimed at implementing cybersecurity standards across exchanges](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/making-bitcoin-legal.pdf) might help prevent market manipulation like pump and dumps or [wash trading](https://web.archive.org/web/20190726151007/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-25/on-crypto-exchanges-the-trades-don-t-always-add-up): - Apparently, "[cryptocurrency exchanges are underequipped to detect and prevent most forms of market manipulation, including pump-and-dump schemes.](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf)" - Out of [ten exchanges investigated by the Office of the New York State Attorney General](https://virtualmarkets.ag.ny.gov/) (ONYSAG), only four had formal policies defining actions that constitute manipulative activity. None of the exchanges had adequate market surveillance methods to detect manipulation, and only two exchanges reported working on implementing better surveillance tools. - As exchanges add more features (lending, direct deposit) and increasingly resemble banks ([or become banks](https://decrypt.co/42077/kraken-first-us-crypto-bank-heres-why-matters)), regulators should ensure that crypto custodians offer the same level of consumer protection as legacy financial institutions - and [aren't themselves involved in manipulation](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/binance-insider-trading-investigation-traded-customer-orders-intensifying-us-probe-2021-9). - Lastly, commonsense and consistent regulation will not only protect consumers but facilitate adoption by making it easier to transact and invest in cryptocurrencies: - Many countries like Germany and Portugal have commonsense regulation around taxing cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, US consumers have to become their own CPA to [understand what counts as a taxable event](https://koinly.io/cryptocurrency-taxes/) and if it's income or capital gains for activities like yield farming, [earning moons on this subreddit](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/lbzbxe/help_with_your_moon_taxes_for_the_us/), [or even getting cashback in crypto](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/09/visa-mastercard-crypto-credit-and-debit-cards-should-you-get-one.html) when buying a cup of coffee. >[The tax system allows me to declare upon honor how I’ve used \[fiat\] currency, and to then impose penalties if I have made that declaration incorrectly. That’s how it works with every other currency. This is an area where clarity would be extremely useful, because it would allow us to use currencies such as Bitcoin in the same way that we use currencies all over the world](http://qntra.net/2014/10/andreas-antonopolous-testifies-before-canadian-senate-committee/). - And, as [Cathie Woods explained at the B Word conference](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwx_7XAJ3p0&t=3430s), a lack of crypto-specific GAAP rules make it difficult for companies looking to add crypto to their balance sheet, [like Microstrategy did](https://www.microstrategy.com/content/dam/website-assets/collateral/bitcoin-downloads/MicroStrategy-Bitcoin-Accounting-Treatment-and-Tax-Considerations.pdf): - Companies currently classify [crypto holdings as 'intangible assets' on their financial disclosures](https://www.forbes.com/sites/shehanchandrasekera/2020/05/21/how-are-cryptocurrencies-classified-in-gaap-financials/), which doesn't make much sense. - As a result, [“If the asset goes up in price, it can’t be marked up on their books. But if it goes down, it must be marked down,” Woods said, adding that she believes the asymmetry needs to be corrected](https://etfdb.com/disruptive-technology-channel/disruptive-technology-channel-wood-musk-dorsey-on-bitcoin/).

Versus S&P500, correlations between BTC, ETH, and ALGO were similar, with modest positive correlation and little distinction in diversification value between them vs stocks. 2. BTC & ETH are highly correlated with each other, more than either of them is with ALGO. 3. At .58 vs BTC and .65 vs ETH, ALGO in a portfolio should offer modest intra-crypto diversification benefits, while also reducing idiosyncratic risk, and thus improving the Efficient Frontier.

#Regulation - Pro Arguments - While I wrote a long [post for the Con Thread](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pfoowf/rcc_cointest_general_concepts_regulation/hej2i4k/) outlining some of the negative aspects of crypto regulation, I'm not fundamentally opposed to crypto regulation. * In fact, I think *commonsense*, *impartial* government oversight is beneficial for society - I want to live in a world where regulation is in place to protect citizens from exploitation, pollution, unsafe products, surveillance etc. - I think the answer for crypto falls somewhere between the '[do nothing](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/28/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-us-government-should-avoid-regulating-crypto.html)' approach and the '[omg it's super dangerous y'all regulate it into the ground](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-09/crypto-is-wild-west-needing-consumer-protections-warren-says)' opinion. Regulation is part of the growing pains on the road to mass adoption rather than [the 'death' of crypto](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/15/ray-dalio-says-if-bitcoin-is-really-successful-regulators-will-kill-it.html). - **TLDR**: - Like Brian Brooks (former Acting Comptroller of the Currency, Coinbase General Counsel and Binance US CEO), I agree that beneficial regulation should focus on enforcing "[rules for compensating losses and instituting cybersecurity standards](https://decrypt.co/81020/brian-brooks-not-everything-crypto-needs-be-regulated)." - I hope to see more regulation aimed at protecting consumers from fraud and manipulation, like the [recently proposed U.S. Virtual Currency Market and Regulatory Competitiveness Act and the Virtual Currency Consumer Protection Act](https://soto.house.gov/media/press-releases/soto-introduces-bipartisan-bills-encourage-consumer-protection-and-regulatory). ##Protect the little guy - It's no secret that the crypto space has long been been plagued by scams - Between October 2020 - March 2021, [FTC data showed that crypto scams spiked](https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2021/05/ftc-data-shows-huge-spike-cryptocurrency-investment-scams) 10x in terms of value lost and 12x in terms of the volume of complaints received, vs the same period the previous year. Consumers lost $80M in crypto investment scams, with a median reported loss of $1,900. - Another study reported at least [355 instances of cryptocurrency scams over a period of 7 months](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf). - "[99% of major fraud volume in the second half of 2020 stemmed from ‘rug pulls’ and other exit scams in a pattern eerily reminiscent of the 2017 ICO craze](https://decrypt.co/55787/defi-rug-pulls-were-cryptos-top-fraud-scheme-in-2020-ciphertrace)”. - Of course there's the argument that investors should be smart, DYOR and not FOMO - isn't it your own fault if you YOLO'd into dickbutt.finance and got rugpulled? Why should the government step in? - Sure. But there's also a lot of unregulated manipulation in the space that lends legitimacy to scams. - Celebrities and influencers have been [getting paid to promote shitcoins](https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/kim-kardashian-crypto-ethereum-max-cryptocurrency-regulator-fca-scam-risks-2021-9) since [the 2017 ICO craze](https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2018/7/22/17510130/cryptocurrencies-celebrities-scam-paris-hilton-steven-seagal-akon-mayweather\)): >These posts may have been the first time their millions of followers heard of an ICO. Floyd Mayweather, an unbeaten boxer who often uses social media to flash the millions he’s made in the ring, told his more than thirteen million followers on Facebook that they should buy “Centra token.” Soon after, music producer DJ Khaled posted on Instagram a picture of himself sitting on a white armchair, a Jean-Michel Basquiat portrait on the background. He’s facing the camera, holding a bottle of Ciroc “vodka in one hand, a silver credit card in the other. The caption said, “I just received my titanium centra debit card. . . . This is a Game changer here. Get your CTR tokens now!” Heiress and socialite Paris Hilton tweeted that she was “looking forward to participating in the new” LydianCoin ICO, and actor Jamie Foxx followed a similar script, tweeting, “Looking forward to participating in the new @cobinhood Token! ZERO fee trading!” ([Camila Russo, *The infinite machine: how an army of crypto-hackers is building the next internet with Ethereum*](https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Infinite_Machine/raysDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Camila+Russo.+%E2%80%9CThe+Infinite+Machine.%E2%80%9D&printsec=frontcover)) - Mayweather continues to profit off of scams like [EthereumMax, which Kim Kardashian also promoted](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/15/kim-kardashian-west-charli-damelio-jake-paul-posting-paid-crypto-ads.html). - Legacy financial markets have oversight from regulators to protect investors from ponzi schemes and pump and dump manipulation. - But the burden often falls on consumers to [report such scams to the SEC](https://www.investing.com/news/cryptocurrency-news/kim-kardashian-has-been-reported-to-the-sec-for-profiting-from-the-ethereummax-scam-2615451) or FTC. - When regulators and politicians *do* mention consumer protection and 'people getting hurt' in crypto markets, it's usually through [the lens of volatility](https://fortune.com/2021/09/27/sec-chair-gary-gensler-crypto-spac-regulations). But when it comes to manipulation and scams, regulators pass responsibility onto the little guy rather than enforce systemic oversight of market manipulation: - The SEC for example [made a fake ICO landing page](https://www.howeycoins.com/index.html) aimed at educating investors. Thanks guys, all in HoweyCoin. - Meanwhile, "[there is virtually no action from regulators or law enforcement agencies to counter these cryptocurrency pump-and-dump schemes](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf) ... the only regulatory recognition of these schemes is a [notice from the US Commodities and Futures Trading Commission](https://www.cftc.gov/sites/default/files/idc/groups/public/@customerprotection/documents/file/customeradvisory_pumpdump0218.pdf) (CFTC) advising the public to be wary of pump-and-dump manipulation on cryptocurrency exchanges and announcing a reward for whistleblowers who report manipulators." ##Clarity please - While some attempts at regulating crypto are draconian or misguided, in many cases it is *the lack of regulation* - or regulatory clarity - that harms consumers: >[It is not the SEC’s overzealous action that has stifled the crypto industry, but its unwillingness to take meaningful action at all.](https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/peirce-how-we-howey-050919) - Why is manipulation so prevalent in crypto markets? Because no one is doing anything to combat it: >[Currently, a lack of regulation and enforcement, as well as weak or absent oversight from exchanges, allows this form of manipulation to persist and flourish ... If regulators and exchanges continue to turn a blind eye, cryptocurrency pump-and-dumps are likely to continue.](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf) - Rather than just saying 'buyer beware', regulation aimed at implementing cybersecurity standards across exchanges might help to limit market manipulation: - Apparently, "[cryptocurrency exchanges are underequipped to detect and prevent most forms of market manipulation, including pump-and-dump schemes.](https://ifrogs.org/PDF/marketMicrostructure_2020/Dhawan_Putnins_2020.pdf)" - Out of [ten exchanges investigated by the Office of the New York State Attorney General](https://virtualmarkets.ag.ny.gov/) (ONYSAG), only four had formal policies defining actions that constitute manipulative activity. None of the exchanges had adequate market surveillance methods to detect manipulation, and only two exchanges reported working on implementing better surveillance tools. - As exchanges add more features (lending, direct deposit) and increasingly resemble banks ([or become banks](https://decrypt.co/42077/kraken-first-us-crypto-bank-heres-why-matters)), regulators should ensure that they offer the same level of consumer protection as legacy financial institutions: >[Centralized custodial accounts are dangerous to consumers. They expose consumers to the exact same risk as a centralized financial institutions, only in this particular case there is zero oversight or control over these institutions because they operate outside of the banking environment.](http://qntra.net/2014/10/andreas-antonopolous-testifies-before-canadian-senate-committee/) - Common sense and internally consistent regulation will not only protect consumers but facilitate adoption, for example by clarifying the tax status of different types of transactions. - Many countries like Germany and Portugal have commonsense regulation around taxing cryptocurrency. Unfortunately, US consumers have to become their own CPA to [understand what counts as a taxable event](https://koinly.io/cryptocurrency-taxes/) and if it's income or capital gains for activities like yield farming, [or even getting cashback in crypto](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/09/visa-mastercard-crypto-credit-and-debit-cards-should-you-get-one.html) when buying a cup of coffee. >[The tax system allows me to declare upon honor how I’ve used \[fiat\] currency, and to then impose penalties if I have made that declaration incorrectly. That’s how it works with every other currency. This is an area where clarity would be extremely useful, because it would allow us to use currencies such as Bitcoin In the same way that we use currencies all over the world](http://qntra.net/2014/10/andreas-antonopolous-testifies-before-canadian-senate-committee/).
Am I the only one thinking that should have remained a PDF? I get it. It wouldn't be as significant to older folks being presented a case but jeeeeeee. PDF has keyword searching, bookmarking, etc. It doesn't even have a spine or something to make it convenient to read. The U.S. government probably shuts down every once in a while because an intern dropped a pile of paper that had far too many pages printed with barely a staple keeping it all together. Not because our parties couldn't come to an agreement but because Senator Bob referenced something that isn't on Senator Billy's copy!
I think it’s a terrible disservice to compare Safemoon to Bitcoin. First off, Bitcoin has been around for 12 years and has a market cap of over 800 billion. Second, it’s been adopted by El Salvador as legal tender and has been used as a means of transferring money over seas. So it has utility beyond being a store of value. Third, Bitcoin is being worked on by thousands of devs around the world with over 2,000 GitHub commits just this past year and about 23 just this past week. Finally, it is the grandfather of all crypto currencies. Bitcoin is the result of several decades of trial and error beginning with David Chain’s paper on digital cash: [Link](http://blog.koehntopp.de/uploads/Chaum.BlindSigForPayment.1982.PDF)

Thanks to /u/ITBoss further down in the thread, [here's the link to the actual bill](https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3684/text). Downloading and searching the PDF version, the only thing I found talking about crypto is in "SEC. 80603. INFORMATION REPORTING FOR BROKERS AND DIGITAL ASSETS," the first line of which reads "(a) CLARIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF BROKER.—Section 6045(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended—" This section defines "digital assets": > DIGITAL ASSET.—Except as otherwise provided by the Secretary, the term ‘digital asset’ means any digital representation of value which is recorded on a cryptographically secured distributed ledger or any similar technology as specified by the Secretary.’’. The main takeaway for me is this snippet: > RETURN REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN TRANSFERS OF DIGITAL ASSETS NOT OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO REPORTING.—Any broker, with respect to any transfer (which is not part of a sale or exchange executed by such broker) during a calendar year of a covered security which is a digital asset from an account maintained by such broker to an account which is not maintained by, or an address not associated with, a person that such broker knows or has reason to know is also a broker, shall make a return for such calendar year, in such form as determined by the Secretary, showing the information otherwise required to be furnished with respect to transfers subject to subsection (a).’’. Maybe I don't know how to really read that snippet, but it sounds to me like it's amending the IRS code to state that "brokers" will now have a responsibility to report crypto assets to the IRS. I don't see any details of how that is to be implemented or if there are any breakpoints of transfers or spending or whatever, so it seems a little too open ended to me. Anyone with either experience with these things or a better reading comprehension than me, feel free to chime in.
I would bet 420 sats that out of that 2k pages there is at least 420 pgs of appendices that aren't part of the law. Still a ridiculous process, just share a PDF there, Shakespeare. Does everyone get a paper copy? Or was it printed out to prove a point?
There will be PDF instructions on the 30th, but as far as video instructions the video in the OP walks through how to do it on desktop (starts at 1:45). The mobile process should be more or less identical. You can do it, I believe in you!
Yea, that was my interpretation also. But he misunderstands... the statement is not a webpage. The statement is a pdf document that you can download from Coinbase, and Chrome just happens to be the default application to open the PDF. The URL can be added when printing an html website regardless of whether or not you choose to print to an actual printer or "print to pdf," but the URL cannot be added when printing a PDF document because Chrome cannot edit PDFs. It doesn't matter anymore, I just edited the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro and added headers and footers to mimick how it would look if Chrome added them, with the URL.
Yea, no, that’s what I’m saying; Chrome will add the URL if it’s printing an html website, but the statement that’s generated by Coinbase is just a PDF document, not an html site. I don’t think Chrome browser can add text to PDF documents.

What's the TL;DR of that PDF?
background is usually white with black characters on it. but it's not written on "paper". It is a digital PDF most of the time, unless you get it printed on a paper.
I have the full PDF on my computer already, but thanks for the link. Page 2,433 Section 80603 It clearly states that the definition of "Digital Asset Broker" has been amended to mean "any person who (for consideration) is responsible for regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets on behalf of another person." Well forgive me but my smooth brain seems to think that hosting a node on my computer, mining in any way shape or form, staking crypto currency, or participating in DeFi protocols could definitely be considered "providing a service that effectuates the transfer of digital assets". Simply holding a copy of the blockchain could be considered providing a service that effectuates the transfer of digital assets. Furthermore, if we assume that this is true (since the legal status of you participating in any of these activities relies entirely upon the interpretation of this definition by regulatory authorities), then that means MOST of us are now "Brokers" according to the law. Given this new legal status, let's see what Page 2,436 has to say about Brokers' requirements! "Any broker, with respect to any transfer (which is not part of a sale or exchange executed by such broker) during a calendar year of a covered security which is a digital asset from an account maintained by such broker to an account which is not maintained by, or an address not associated with, a person that such broker knows or has reason to know is also a broker, shall make a return for such calendar year, in such form as deter mined by the Secretary, showing the information otherwise required to be furnished with respect to transfers subject to subsection (a)" Well, subsection (a) of the code says "Every person doing business as a broker shall, when required by the Secretary, make a return, in accordance with such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, showing the name and address of each customer, with such details regarding gross proceeds and such other information as the Secretary may by forms or regulations require with respect to such business." So we've just learned that you can be considered a broker under this new amendment to the tax code, and since you may be considered a broker, you'll be required to report "the name and address of each customer, and the gross proceeds". Since everyone on your "distributed ledger" could be considered a customer, given that you're considered a broker; you'll now need to report the name and address of everyone that transacts on the network via a 1099-B directly to the IRS, as well as to every person whom you've collected that information from. Good luck completing this obviously impossible task! And if you don't, you could be considered in violation of the tax code (AKA federal law). But I'm sure you're smart enough to figure out how to comply with that one. Maybe you can help me out, after all, I'm just a smooth-brained monkey.
Please explain to me why you think the PDF [here](https://www.sipa.columbia.edu/file/14515/download?token=P4X-rDwA) isn’t a white paper. And also why you’re being such a bitch.

The US Government trying to regulate crypto is going to be hilarious from people who can hardly open a PDF.
The research papers conclusions (your link) have been mentioned a lot in the media lately. However the actual PDF-publication is “hidden” behind a paywall. I have no interest in paying for the entire thing, and I doubt that many journalists have read it. Maybe it is also worth noticing that one of the two authors is an Employee of De Nederlandsche Bank.

In the draft version it was on p88 (PDF p92), I think.
Most projects are focused on the short game, because most people still don't understand what they are. NFT's eventually replace serial numbers, because that's actually all they are. It's just a signed serial number. Every single download of anything can be turned into an NFT. You click download and then it asks for your *whatever* address and it sends you an NFT. Movie, music, PDF, whatever. The warranty for your notebook could come as an NFT. Thing is, almost anything that can be done with NFTs can be done without them. You could have built a system for buying digital art where you sign up with an email and password and pay some money and then your name shows up publicly as the "owner" of that piece of art. No one ever did that because it's kind of a silly idea (or maybe someone did and it failed). The decentralized nature of NFTs make it a little more interesting, but not really that much, since the files still have to be hosted somewhere anyway. NFTs really rean't that decentralized. The actual assets don't live forever. They will likely be gone off the internet in 20 years and the hash on the blockchain is all that will remain. NFTs are great for anything that can be serialized, or that you'd want to be serialized.
Because a PDF can be deleted or lost. It's not stored as a permanent record on 10,000 computers around the world
This is a great point. This is what sold me on Eth originally. Why does nobody do it? I personally believe it's because there are other cheaper yet legitimate options. Take signing a PDF (contract) for instance. You can cryptographically sign a certificate and embed it into a PDF which would hold up in court as a proof of signature. You can store that (now tamper proof) PDF on multiple geo-redundant storage servers for a fraction of a cent. Where would the benefit in using a blockchain be for this instance?

tldr; Panama could be the next country to adopt cryptocurrency as legal tender.

Well, exploits generally target (a vulnerability in) the viewer and from my understanding, on both Android and iOS, opening a PDF would do so in a sandboxed environment. This means even if the malicious PDF would open in the first place (it most likely won't if it's not an actual PDF), it doesn't have access to anything outside of the viewer. As long as you keep your apps updated, whether it's Adobe Acrobat, Google Drive (Drive PDF Viewer) or something else, it's unlikely that you can get infected from opening a PDF on your phone.
Opening a PDF file directly in the browsers is completely* safe as it's a sandboxed environment and uses the browsers' own PDF viewer. *It is much less likely that this is exploited due to the effort they (browsers) have put into securing it and are usually much faster with patching exploits if they come to light. Therefor, if you have to open a PDF, one way to be **safer** is opening it in the browser.
an email browser and good PDF reader to read the white papers
I'm sorry I should have been a bit clearer, I meant that putting a straight link to a PDF file, not even a download page or whatever is, imho, very dangerous. I know shit about fuck but I think it's one of the first source for viruses and ransomware nowadays.
You should upload the PDF to Google Drive or something and share it here. I'd love to have a read
I should look into that. My dad can barely open a PDF, let alone use a crypto wallet.
I got the PDF directly, didn't get the invitation

The first thing is you need to import and verify the GPG dev signature of the Electrum download. Secondly I would point out that the Zpub is not universally adopted by all software, so something like Sparrow and Specter can show the Xpub and Zpub. Specter can export a handy PDF document with each cosigner's X/Zpub in text and QR code. Ledger is not great at verifying cosigners, better are the TrezorT, Coldcard and Bitbox02.

When you use a sound money, you begin to project yourself in the future more. This is your *time preference*. Saifadean Ammous talks about it in The Bitcoin Standard. It's an amazing read, I highly recommend it. You can easily find the PDF online.
You have zero knowledge of what they are scanning. Literally only a PDF where they promise to only look for CSAM. Oh and also all material with naked skin, just incase you send iMessage to minors, never mind what the picture is.
https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/SHA-256 https://www.n-able.com/blog/sha-256-encryption https://komodoplatform.com/en/academy/sha-256-algorithm/ PDF The cryptographic hash function SHA-256 Attached the pdf cause it looks institutional or governmental in cadance and presentation. 🤷♂️
Can you make a neat PDF from that article with the same pleasant formatting so that it can be read without all the distracting burden around the page?
While reading your list, I have observed that I am following 3/4 of these crypto traders. If I were to recommend someone, I'd probably mention @ EmperorBTC. He made a PDF on how to start crypto trading and so much more. Check out the account on Twitter; you'll probably learn a lot of helpful information.
The encyclopedia? 🤣🤣🤣 I see your point, but you could also save PDF of some articles. Nevertheless, your point is fair. Btw, you didn't just share your recovery phrase, did you?🤣🤣🤣
Great point! Then save it as a PDF!😉
6 - Unless your e-book is in PDF format, pagination is dynamic and depends on font size, screen dimensions, etc. This is a pretty terrible idea.
You’d be surprised. If you’re really interested, read page 7 of the Zarniwoop whitepaper that can be downloaded as a PDF from here: https://zarniwoop.info/downloads because it explains the POC consensus mechanism that underpins NFT popularity.
I'm not so sure, from what i understand both receiving and sending payments in crypto currencies is not permitted. I don't know if this regulation only applies to companies, but since its not explicitly staed as that it would be logical to assume it covers people as well. I'm not a lawyer though so maybe im misinterpreting. "The Regulation prohibits the direct and indirect use of crypto assets in (i) payments transactions, and (ii) the provision of payment services and electronic currency exports. The Regulation draws a broad context for payment transactions by also including those entities that provide payment services and export electronic currency. The Regulation prohibits these entities from providing or developing any service that pertains to such a business model." https://www.gurkaynak.av.tr/docs/liq/June2021/index.html#PDF/12-13
Highly, _highly_ recommended introductory reading material: Economics in One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt. Available as a free PDF from the [Mises Institute](https://ipfs.deedlefake.com/ipns/pub.deedlefake.com/politics/Economics%20in%20One%20Lesson.pdf).
**This isn't true**, the [only restaurants that do this are likely scams.](https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-beach/article188894679.html) I've been to many of the most expensive restaurants in the world (mostly because I have some very well off family that invited me years before I was well off myself) and they all have the prices on the menu, the prices are just very high. It's actually illegal not to list prices on the menu in most places to prevent scammers from ripping people off. BTW, even at those high end restaurants it's never the food that costs the most money, it's if you start drinking the good wines that cost four to five figures a bottle that you annihilate your bill. Most of these wine lists are publicly available btw. Here's the [wine list for Per Se](https://hub.binwise.com/print/PerSeWineList_PDF.aspx?ListId=123&LocationId=87). Ordering that $9000 bottle of Vega Sicilia or $18000 bottle of Domaine Georges Roumier is what will take your bill into the stratosphere. The amount of nonsense I see on Reddit about how rich people supposedly live is ridiculous. Most of the rich folks I know are rich because they're insanely good with their money *and* they make a lot of money. Unless you only know lazy trust fund kids the wealthy folks I know are really good about not wasting their money even if they're willing to drop several thousand dollars on a meal-they still want to feel like they're getting their money's worth. If you want to know what the *real* elites do I'll tell you because I've seen it myself. They regularly dine at the very nicest restaurants to the extent that the maitre'ds know them and when they want to eat there they book the private dining room at the high end restaurant that's in the back or on another floor and they have that entire large area to themselves. The chefs then work with them to prep a menu specifically tailored to their preferences and then they get a whole selection of nice wines served with the meal that cost $$$$. You don't actually need to be particularly rich to go to a fancy restaurant once and blow $500 on the set menu-any normal person can save up and do that on a special occasion. You know you're actually wealthy when you drop $20K on dinner with your extended family on Sunday evening in the private dining room, and you do this all the fucking time. I assure you though that they know exactly how much the meal costs before they agree to it, they're rich, not morons.

True. I think the best solution is to create an encrypted, password-protected word or PDF file with them, and then store that on an encrypted cloud service. Even if the cloud service is compromised, your file is encrypted and you should have time to take any measures.
