A Closer Look at the Dark Web

In the vast realm of the internet, where the surface web serves as a bustling marketplace of information and commerce, there exists a hidden, mysterious underworld known as the dark web. This enigmatic space, concealed from traditional search engines, has earned a reputation for harboring both illicit activities and a haven for privacy enthusiasts. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the depths…

The wheels are already beginning to turn on Donald Trump’s plan to make the US into the “crypto capital of the planet” following his return to the White House.

In an executive order signed Thursday, Trump established a “working group on digital asset markets,” which will be responsible for weighing the possibility of the US forming a “strategic national digital asset stockpile,” among other things.

The promise to establish a stockpile was one of numerous commitments made by Trump to the crypto industry before he was reelected. Though the idea stumped economists, it received a rapturous reception among bitcoiners. As rumors of an impending announcement spread Thursday, the price of bitcoin climbed to $105,000 per coin, just short of the record high.

The order also requires the working group—which will comprise the leaders of various government branches, financial regulatory bodies, and the attorney general—to come up with an appropriate set of regulations and laws governing the use of crypto.

Earlier in the week, on Trump’s second day in office, the Securities and Exchange Commission—the US regulatory body that brought a volley of lawsuits against crypto firms under the Joe Biden administration—established a “crypto task force.” Under new leadership following the departure of former chair Gary Gensler, who was widely demonized in the cryptosphere, the SEC will develop a “comprehensive and clear regulatory framework for crypto assets,” the agency stated.

Later the same day, Trump granted clemency to Ross Ulbricht, who was serving life in prison for crimes committed while running the infamous darknet marketplace Silk Road, one of the first websites to accept bitcoin as payment. After being arrested in 2013, Ulbricht became something of a martyr in crypto circles for his part in spreading the bitcoin gospel.

These initial gestures signal Trump’s willingness to follow through on earlier campaign promises: to pass various crypto-related legislation, reform the financial regulatory apparatus in the US, and knit crypto into the US national treasury. The effects will be extensive, crypto figures believe, reverberating far beyond US shores and creating the conditions for a new golden era for the industry.

“Our technology is very powerful and transformative. We need to land it in different societies,” says Joseph Lubin, cofounder of Ethereum and chief executive at software company Consensys. “And America is a standard-setter for the rest of the world.”

Despite having previously spurned bitcoin as a “scam,” Trump now has extensive ties to the crypto industry, many high-profile members of which came out in support of his reelection campaign.

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, crypto organizations donated hundreds of millions of dollars to crypto-focused super political action committees, which spent the funds in support of crypto-friendly congressional candidates, many of them Republican.

On the campaign trail, Trump began to bill himself as the first “crypto president.” In July, in front of a rabid crowd of bitcoiners, Trump promised to turn the US into a crypto mining powerhouse and establish a national bitcoin stockpile if reelected. In the same speech, he pledged to fire Gensler, the SEC chair, prompting the most rapturous applause of the night.

In September, apparently dissatisfied with watching from the dugout, Trump and his family helped to launch a new crypto business, World Liberty Financial, which they pitched as a way to “make finance great again.”

Days before his inauguration, on January 17, Trump even launched his own official memecoin—a highly volatile type of cryptocurrency whose price is dictated by the amount of attention it attracts—sparking a trading frenzy. Two companies with connections to Trump own 80 percent of the total supply of the coin, a trove theoretically valued in the tens of billions of dollars.

Now that Trump has skin in the game, the crypto industry can be all the more confident of his continued support, says Demelza Hays, digital asset portfolio manager at investment firm Zeltner & Co and chief economist at the crypto trade publication CoinTelegraph. “This was definitely saying that Trump is going to support crypto, profit from crypto, and try to remove any barriers to crypto,” says Hays. “All of a sudden, we have the president coming out and saying: ‘F you, I’m launching a memecoin.’”

After Trump emerged victorious in November, the crypto industry worked closely with the transition team, WIRED reported, to select a new chair for the SEC, who would be tasked with creating a regulatory framework for crypto. Trump settled on crypto advocate and former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins, who awaits confirmation.

The priority among crypto businesses is the ability to operate in the US without the fear of legal action by the SEC, which under Gensler took the view that many crypto businesses were violating securities laws, but declined to outline rules for the industry. “We’ve been operating under a cloud of regulatory uncertainty for a really long time,” says Lubin.

In the absence of clear rules, “the problem is that people end up trying to read the tea leaves,” said SEC commissioner Hester Peirce, who will lead the SEC’s new crypto task force, in an interview with WIRED last year. “A good way to handle this is not to bring a bunch of enforcement cases and [ask the industry] to connect all the dots.”

The new set of rules will liberate crypto entrepreneurs to press the limits of the technology, claims Noelle Acheson, a market analyst formerly of crypto brokerage Genesis. “The big impact will be all the building that has been on pause because of the SEC’s approach in the last four years,” she says. “We are now in a period of accelerated change—change on steroids.”

The initial offerings made to the crypto industry by Trump in the early days of his presidency, says Acheson, are but “a taste of what’s coming.”

U.S. Marshals Service Can't Say How Much Crypto It Holds, Complicating Bitcoin Reserve Plan

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is tasked with managing assets seized by law enforcement in the course of criminal investigations, like real estate, cash, jewelry, antiques or vehicles. It is also supposed to be handling cryptocurrencies — for example, the billions of dollars worth of bitcoin (BTC) seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from darknet marketplace Silk Road in…

[coinalistnet]

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) finds itself in a challenging position as it grapples with the complexities of cryptocurrency management alongside its primary responsibility for handling assets seized during criminal investigations. This includes not only more traditional assets like real estate and vehicles but also significant quantities of digital currencies seized over the years. Cryptocurrencies Under the USMS Since the seizure of billions in bitcoin from the infamous darknet marketplace Silk Road by the FBI in 2013, the USMS has been entrusted with managing these cryptocurrencies. However, accurately accounting for and managing these digital assets proves to be a strenuous task for the agency. This issue gains heightened importance against the backdrop of discussions about establishing a national crypto reserve, which would fundamentally alter the government's approach to seized cryptocurrency management. Expert Insights and Concerns Industry experts, like Les Borsai of Wave Digital Assets, stress that creating a crypto reserve requires a deep understanding of the unique properties of digital assets. This includes awareness of forks, airdrops, and market volatility. Currently, the agency's reliance on basic tools such as Excel spreadsheets for tracking their digital holdings is seen as inadequate and heightens the risk of financial mismanagement. Historical Management Shortcomings The history of USMS's handling of cryptocurrencies is fraught with procedural inadequacies and technical missteps. In 2022, an audit by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) revealed serious deficiencies in the agency's policies around managing and valuing cryptocurrencies. The lack of policies for tracking forked digital assets exemplifies the broader challenges they face, risking the loss of potentially valuable assets through inaction. Recent Administrative Challenges Adding to the complexities, the agency has encountered procurement struggles in outsourcing crypto management to private firms. Attempts to partner with companies like Bitgo and Anchorage Digital were stymied by procurement criteria related to company size, illustrating the challenges in finding appropriate custodial partners. This ongoing struggle complicates their asset management practices, especially for smaller-value digital currencies. Potential Policy and Management Changes The potential shift in governmental policy to create a national Bitcoin reserve has made the transparency and accuracy of crypto holdings all the more pressing. Calls from lawmakers for the USMS to provide clearer and more accessible data on their Bitcoin holdings are intensifying. Yet, the agency acknowledges it struggles to reconcile total holdings across different government departments. Conclusion The USMS's experience underscores the broader challenges that traditional law enforcement agencies face in adapting to the rapidly evolving digital finance landscape. Until robust systems are in place to track and manage these assets securely, the risks remain significant. For any potential national reserve to be successful, foundational improvements in both policy and technological capability will be essential. Through greater collaboration with the private sector and an emphasis on adopting advanced technological solutions, the USMS can aim to enhance its management of seized digital assets, improving both transparency and security. This journey is crucial not only for their operational success but also for establishing confidence in the government’s ability to manage digital assets effectively. Read the full article

Čestitam vsem vpletenim pri vasem castnem delu in angazmaju za pregon hudicevih posrednikov pri nelegalnih poslih. Zdaj pa bi bil ze cas, da se lotite problema, ki ga resuje darknet.

Gre za reševanje okvare gena c12, ki se s kortizolom pretvarja v c7, ki potomcem reptilov omogoca prezivetje na nasem planetu.

Kot zrtev nehumanega psihicnega nasilja se soocam s hudimi zdravstvenimi problemi, za katere se ni ustrezne medicinske pomoči. Neepilepticni psihogeni napadi oz. Zgibki se izrazajo iz misicnega spomina in ne sodijo v psihiatrijo, marvec so posttravmatske nevrološke permanentne poskodbe.

Follow Allen on X. In a landmark decision that sent waves through the Bitcoin community, President Donald Trump has granted a full and unconditional pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road darknet marketplace. Delivered on January 21, 2025—one day later than his campaign promise—this pardon goes beyond merely commuting Ulbricht’s sentence. It’s a symbolic gesture, perhaps acknowledging the delay with goodwill. For Bitcoiners, this represents more than justice for one man—it’s a signal of potential alignment between the administration and the values Bitcoin embodies. The pardon follows a flurry of executive orders signed on Trump’s first day back in office, underscoring the administration’s focus on a myriad of national priorities. However, this act stands out, particularly for Bitcoiners, as a commitment to keeping promises, sparking hope for pro-Bitcoin legislation and progress on issues like the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Ross Ulbricht’s Silk Road wasn’t just a marketplace—it was Bitcoin’s first major use case. Launched in 2011, when Bitcoin was still in its infancy, the Silk Road demonstrated the revolutionary potential of decentralized, censorship-resistant money. While its operations drew criticism for facilitating illicit trade, it also showcased Bitcoin’s ability to enable peer-to-peer, anonymous transactions. Ulbricht’s double life sentence became a symbol of overreach—a clash between an inflexible system and the frontier spirit of technological innovation. For many in the Bitcoin community, his case represented the broader struggle for autonomy, privacy, and the freedom to innovate. His pardon is now being celebrated as a victory for these principles. The news of Ulbricht’s pardon has energized Bitcoiners, but it also highlights unresolved issues. The Samourai Wallet developers could still face prison time for developing Bitcoin privacy tools. Edward Snowden, another figure celebrated within the Bitcoin community, remains in exile. (Snowden’s revelations about mass surveillance have made him a key voice at Bitcoin conferences, aligning his values with the ethos of financial and personal privacy that Bitcoin embodies.) While Ulbricht’s freedom is a win, the incomplete picture of justice for figures like the Samourai Wallet developers and Snowden reminds us of the broader challenges in protecting digital rights. Ulbricht’s pardon is a significant moment, not just for him but for what it represents: A possible shift in how innovators and pioneers are treated when they challenge existing norms. It also signals that the current administration may be open to reevaluating policies around technology and privacy—issues that deeply resonate with Bitcoiners. The Bitcoin community’s long-standing support for Ulbricht underscores the movement’s commitment to privacy, autonomy, and resistance to overreach. Yet, as celebrations continue, there’s recognition that this is just one step in a larger journey toward protecting those who push the boundaries of innovation. For Bitcoiners, this moment is both a celebration and a rallying cry—a signal to keep pushing for a future where technology empowers individuals and where justice and innovation can coexist.This article is a Take.
