"MUSLIM WOMAN BELIEVES MUSLIM MIGRANTS ARE SOLDIERS THAT ARE HERE TO SLAUGHTER BRITAINS, HIRED BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT !

This is a theory circulating in the Muslim community who whisper of usurping the UK all together.

I pray that this lady is just a conspiracy theorist, posting this content is in no way attempting to stir up hate ..this is merely reporting rumours in the Muslim community.

In my opinion It does seem that the government are actually trying to incite a civil war, surely nobody can be this incompetent. They are telling Muslims the EDL are trying to kill them in their communities when the EDL were disbanded a decade ago.

The government and MSM are telling the Muslim community that the EDL are launching random acid attacks on Muslim women (not true)

The government also seem to be deliberately antagonising white and none Muslim citizens with two tier policing…something dosent seem quite right.

ANGRY MANIPULATED MUSLIMS PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE NONE EXISTENT EDL.

Who the F*ck is EDL !

The EDL disbanded over a decade ago, why would our government and MSM deliberately stir up tensions between our communities ?

Because of government and MSM misinformation, Muslims think they need time to guard their communities from a none existent EDL ?

My message to anyone from any community is …

DO NOT FIGHT EACH OTHER

We are both being played by dark forces.

They want us to fight to enslave us all, dont fall for it.

The government seem to be deliberately antagonising the public."

The British government is playing mind games with citizens, the same way the U.S. government plays us, by pitting Immigrants against Natural born citizens. There is no EDL but there are foreign soldiers in the #UK disguised as Immigrants pictures and video are in the link, along with the news that the Cuban economy collapsed months ago. They went Digital and woke up to find their bank accounts EMPTIED!

How to Withdraw Money from Coinbase Wallet?

Are you wondering how to withdraw money from Coinbase Wallet? Coinbase, a popular cryptocurrency wallet and exchange, provides many features. One such advantage of using this service, if you reside in the US, is being able to transfer digital assets back into bank accounts easily. Simply transfer cryptocurrency from Coinbase Wallet into your bank account linked with Coinbase before exchanging this fiat currency back for cryptocurrency. This method works across a range of countries, including Australia and the UK. Coinbase's withdrawal process is easy and uses its wallet interface.

After signing into your Coinbase account, go to Wallet Dashboard/Overview and identify which cryptocurrency you would like to withdraw. Select it, and follow the on-screen instructions. Once your withdrawal request is approved, funds should arrive in your account within a few business days (depending on factors such as bank processing speed). As part of its effort to protect your accounts and avoid unauthorized transactions, additional documentation, and verification information such as photo ID or address proof may be requested from you as evidence of authenticity and protect your account further.

What Are the Cash-Out Options on Coinbase?

Coinbase provides a hosted crypto wallet service at no additional charge, giving users complete control of their private keys while being subject to custodial model restrictions. In addition, multiple withdrawal methods allow users to choose one that meets their individual needs - with these being some of your primary cash-out choices:

Bank Transfer: Bank Transfer is the go-to solution, enabling you to send fiat currencies like USD and EUR directly into your bank account. PayPal: If a digital wallet is more your style, then try PayPal instead - an excellent digital wallet alternative!

Crypto-to-Crypto transfers: When necessary, convert cryptocurrency to another currency before withdrawing it.

DebitCard Cash Out: Certain regions allow customers to withdraw directly from their debit cards.

How to Withdraw Money from Coinbase Wallet to Bank Account?

To withdraw money from Coinbase Wallet and deposit it directly into your bank account, follow these simple steps:

Transfer Funds Between Coinbase Wallet and Account:

Open the Coinbase wallet app, make sure your Coinbase Account is linked

Select the cryptocurrency of your choice to send, enter the recipient's address (your Coinbase Account address), and complete the transfer.

Once your cryptocurrency is in your Coinbase Account, click the "Buy/Sell section."

Select which cryptocurrency you would like to sell and enter its amount; once done, confirm its conversion into fiat currency.

Withdraw Fiat from Your Bank Account:

From the "Portfolio tab," choose your fiat wallet. Then, select your bank account by clicking "Withdraw."

Finally, please enter the amount to withdraw and confirm it before finalizing the transaction.

How to Withdraw Funds from Coinbase Pro?

Coinbase Pro provides experienced traders with an advanced trading platform with lower fees and larger limits. It also offers lower withdrawal fees and higher limits. To withdraw money from Coinbase Pro, follow these steps.

Coinbase Pro Login: Sign in to Coinbase Pro with your credentials.

Use "Deposit Option" to move funds over from Coinbase, and use its trading interface to transform cryptocurrency into fiat money.

Click "Withdraw" in the Portfolio tab, and select your fiat wallet by clicking it.

After choosing your withdrawal method (bank transfer or PayPal, for example), confirm all details by clicking "Confirm Details."

How Long Does It Take to Cash Out from Coinbase?

Cashing out from Coinbase varies based on your withdrawal method of choice and local banking systems; PayPal transfers typically occur within minutes, while cash-out times depend on how you select to withdraw your funds from Coinbase.

For instance, the bank transfers typically take 1-5 working days to complete. And instant transfer allows funds to be available quickly, but fees may be higher; please check processing time in your area since this can depend on both bank and country-specific factors.

How to Transfer Crypto from Coinbase?

To transfer Crypto from Coinbase, you need to take the steps mentioned below:

First, log into your Coinbase account using either mobile apps or websites.

Then select which cryptocurrency you would like to transfer by selecting it and providing its wallet address.

Review transaction details before finalizing them and confirm them before continuing with transactions.

Make sure to remember that network fees may apply depending on which blockchain is chosen.

What Is the Difference Between Coinbase and Coinbase Wallet?

Both Coinbase and Coinbase Wallet are custodial crypto exchanges and wallets; Coinbase will hold onto your private keys in exchange for quick digital currency purchases; this makes sense if you value security over speed, though its use might compromise control and ownership of your crypto. In contrast, Coinbase Wallet does not take custody of its crypto. Coinbase Wallet offers superior security and controls but requires assets to be transferred directly into their system before fiat withdrawals can take place.

Furthermore, its compatibility includes Web3, DeFi protocol, and NFT markets (dApps/DEFi protocols/NFT Markets/etc.), making this distinction even more apparent than between its namesake counterparts.

Coinbase: For cryptocurrency trading and investment, Coinbase serves as your custodial wallet, storing all your funds safely.

Coinbase Wallet: For non-custodial wallets, the control of private keys is crucial when dealing with cryptocurrency and decentralized applications. Incorporating such technology can provide access to decentralized applications with greater ease than using standard crypto storage options like Bitcoin.

FAQ

Can I withdraw directly from Coinbase Wallet to my bank account?

No. To do this, first transfer funds between Coinbase Wallet and Coinbase Account accounts.

Does Coinbase Have a Daily Withdrawal Limit?

Your daily withdrawal limit on Coinbase is $100,000 per day.

How secure is Coinbase Wallet when it comes to storing funds?

Its Coinbase Wallet provides high levels of security as a non-custodial service where you control the private key and recovery phase.

Why is my Coinbase withdrawal taking longer than expected?

There could be delays in Coinbase withdrawals due to bank processing times, restrictions in certain regions, or pending confirmations.

are in game currencies you can buy with real money covered under the same laws that make nfts and bitcoin taxable?

DISCLAIMER

I am not an international tax expert. Tax laws are obviously different in different jurisdictions; something that's true in the USA might not be true in the UK or Ukraine or India or Japan or Kenya or whatever. Also, the details of individual games can affect their legal standing. You may wish to consult a local tax expert before filing your return.

Disclaimers aside, probably not.

The thing about NFTs is that you can resell them. If you buy an ugly ape for etherium, you can later sell that ape for etherium and sell the etherium for cash, hopefully more than you paid in. That's what makes crypto stuff taxable; it's an investment.

Most in-game currencies cannot be exchanged for real-world money. You can't buy Fortnite VBucks at 5¢ to the buck and resell it at 7¢ to make a profit, and you can't sell anything for real-world cash. (This the main reason why gambling regulations usually don't apply to lootboxes.)

As far as the law is concerned, buying VBucks in Fortnite is no different from buying DLC on Steam.

Aside from blockchain games like the infamous Axie Infinity, the only ways I can think of for in-game currency purchases to result in taxable transactions probably violate the terms of service. Back in ye olde World of Warcraft days, people would sell their in-game gold for real-world money—profitable, despite (or because of?) being against the TOS.

Obviously, people can buy premium video game currency with their own money; that's what premium currency is for. But hypothetically, if you used that currency to buy an in-game item that you sold for real-world money, that would be a taxable transaction. The amount you sold it for minus the price initially paid for in-game currency would be taxable game.

Again, this is probably a violation of the terms of service you agreed to without reading, which would make this a breach of contract. In the US, you are required to report illegal income; however, as per the fifth amendment, you don't have to report anything that would incriminate yourself. How you report such income without self-incrimination is an exercise for any reader running a Fortnite money laundering business.

https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/red-team-blues-cory-doctorow/7225998?ean=9781804547755

And now, here’s today’s serial installment:

I grunted noncommittally. Danny had been around since crypto meant “cryptography,” and I hadn’t figured him to become one of these blockchain hustlers. They’re the kind of smart people who outsmart themselves, especially when it comes to shenanigans, forgetting that their public ledger is public and all their transactions are visible to the whole world forever. Forensic accounting never had a better friend than crypto, with its mix of public ledgers, deluded masters of the universe, and suckers pumping billions into the system. It was full employment for me and my competitors until cryptocurrency’s carbon footprint rendered the earth uninhabitable.

“There are certain technical differences between Trustless and other coins. Will you allow me to explain them to you? I promise it’s germane and I’m not trying to sell you anything.” “Aw, hell, Danny, you can tell me anything. I just get sick of being hustled.”

“Me, too, pal. Okay, if you mentioned distributed sudoku puzzles, you know something about proof of work: the way blockchain maintains the integrity of its ledger is by having everyone in the system repeatedly do compute work that reaffirms all the entries in the ledger. So long as the value of all the assets in the ledger is less than the electricity bill for taking over the majority of the compute work, they’re safe.”

“That means that the more valuable all this blockchain stuff becomes, the more coal they have to burn to keep it all from being stolen,” I said. It was something I’d almost said to the bros at dinner the night before, but I didn’t want an argument to distract from the otherwise lovely time I’d been having with my entirely lovely companion.

“That’s fair,” he said. “That’s what every greenie who hasn’t received a couple of mil in donations from surprised crypto-millionaires will tell you. But, Marty, that’s a problem with proof of work, not with distributed ledgers. If you could build a blockchain that had a negligible carbon budget, you could do a lot with it.”

“Launder money. Badly.”

“That,” he said. “Lot of Chinese entrepreneurs and officials are anxious to beat currency controls. But it’s not just money, it’s anything you want to have universally available, unfalsifiable, and cryptographically secured.”

“Laundered money.”

He made a face. “Cynic. Not laundered money. Genocide-­proof ID. Cryptographically secured, write-­only manifests of a person’s identifiers, including nationality, vitals, and ethnic group, but each one has its own key, held by the Blue Helmets. You get to a border and you present your biometrics, and the UN tells the border guards your nationality but not your ethnicity.”

“Fanciful.”

“Cynic! Yeah, fine, no one’s doing it yet, but we could. All that blockchain for good shit that the hucksters talked up to make it sound like proof of work wasn’t a crime against humanity. Trust­ lesscoin lets you do them because it doesn’t need the sudoku.”

I dredged up memories of half-­digested podcasts I’d listened to on the road. “Is it a proof-­of-­stake thing?”

He snorted. “Don’t try to sound smart, Marty, you’ll sprain something. No, it’s secure enclaves. That crypto-­sub-­processor in your iPhone that Apple uses to keep you from switching to another app store? It can run code. What’s more, it can sign the output. So we can send you a program and check to see whether it ran as intended, because we know that the owner of a phone can’t override the secure enclave. Far as Apple’s concerned, iPhone owners are the enemy, and their threat model treats the device owner as an adversary — ­as someone who might get apps someplace that doesn’t kick a fifteen to thirty percent vigorish up to Apple for every transaction, depriving its shareholders of their rake.

“Any device with a secure enclave or other trusted computing module is a device that treats its owner as the enemy. That’s a device we need, because when you’re in the Trustlesscoin network, that device will defend me from you, and you from me. I don’t have to trust you, I just have to trust that you can’t break into your own phone, which is to say that I have to trust that Apple’s engineers did their job correctly, and well, you know, they’ve got a pretty good track record, Marty.”

“Except?”

He finished his lemonade and scowled at the reusable straw.

“Yeah, except. Look, Trustlesscoin is on track to become the standard public ledger for the world. I know, I know, every founder talks that ‘make a dent in the universe’ crap, but I mean it. You want to know how serious I am about this? I took in outside capital.”

He let me sit with that a moment. Danny Lazer, the man who ate ramen in a twenty-­year-­old, bent-­axle RV for decades with the love of his life so he’d never have to take a nickel from any of those bloodsuckers on Sand Hill Road, and he took in outside capital. Danny Lazer, a man who’d owned 75 percent of a unicorn, which is to say, seven-­point-­five-­times-­ten-­to-­the-­eight U.S. American Greenback Simoleon Dollars, and he took in outside capital.

“Why? And also, what for?”

He laughed. “Watching you work out a problem is like watching a bulldog chew a wasp, brother. You’ve got a hell of a poker face, but when you start overclocking the old CPU, it just melts. I’ll tell you why and what for.

“First of all, I wanted to create something for Sethu. She’s never had the chance to live up to her potential. She’s smart, Marty, smart like Galit was, but she’s also technical, and managerial, and just born to run things. I’ve never met a better candidate for a CEO than she is. And I’m not young, you know that, and there’s going to be a long time after I’m dead when she’ll still be in her prime, and I wanted to make something she could grow into and grow around her.

“I’d been playing with the idea behind Trustless since the early 2000s, when Microsoft released its first Trusted Computing papers, all the way back in the Palladium days! So Sethu and I hung up a whiteboard in the guest room and started spending a couple of hours a day in there. I didn’t want to bring in anyone else at first, first because it seemed like a hobby and not a business, and hell, every cryptographer I know is working seventy-hour weeks as it is.

“Then I didn’t want to bring in anyone else because I got a sense of how big this damned thing is. I mean, there’s about two trillion in assets in the blockchain today, and that’s with all the stupid friction of proof-­of-­work. When we lift the shackles off of it, whoosh, we’re talking about a ledger that will encompass more assets than the total balance sheets of twenty or thirty of the smallest UN members . . . ​combined.

“You know me, Marty. I don’t believe in much, but when I do believe in something, I’m all in. All. In. And so I brought some people in.”

“What for, though? Danny, how much of your Keypairs jackpot did you manage to blow? How much money could you possibly need, and for what? Are you building your own chip foundry? Buying a country?”

“We actually thought of doing both of those things, you know, but decided we didn’t need the headaches. The Keypairs money’s only grown since I cashed out, thanks to the bull runs. I can’t spend it all, won’t be able to. It would sicken me to try, because I’d have to be so wasteful to even make a dent in it.

“The reason I went for outside capital wasn’t money, it was connections.”

I groaned. Every grifter in private equity and VC-­land claimed that they had “connections” that represented value add for their portfolio companies. The social butterfly market was implausible on its face, and in practice, it was just a way of turning cocktail parties into a business expense. “Come on, Danny, you know people already.”

“Not these people.” And he did the thing. He looked from side to side, up and down. He turned off his phone and held his hand out for mine and carried them both to the little step next to the water feature and set them down on it so they’d be in the white-noise zone. He came back, looked around again. “I got signing keys for four of the most commonly deployed secure enclaves.” He looked around again.

“I think I know what that means, Danny, but maybe you could spell it out? I’m just a dumb old accountant, not a cryptographic legend like yourself. And for God’s sake, stop looking around. I’ll let you know if I see anyone sneaking up on us.”

“Sorry, sorry. Okay. The secure enclave gets a program, runs it, and signs the output. The secure enclave’s little toy operating system says that it does this reliably and without exception. You see a signature on a program’s output, you know the program produced it. That toy OS, it’s simple. Stupid. Brutal. Does about six things, very well, and nothing else. You can’t change that program. Secure enclaves are designed to be non-­serviceable. Even taking them off the mainboard wrecks them. You get them into a lab and decap them and hit them with an electron-­tunneling microscope, you still won’t be able to recover the signing keys or force a false sig.

“But if you have the signing keys? You can just simulate a secure enclave on any computer. Then you can run any operating system you want on it, including one that will forge signatures. You do that, and you can falsify the ledger. You can move unlimited sums from any part of the balance sheet to your part of the balance sheet. You can jackpot the whole fucking thing.”

I blew out air. “Well, that seems like a defect in the system, all right.”

“It can’t be helped. We call it Trustless, but there’s always some trust in a system like this. You’re not trusting the other users of the system or the company that made the software. You’re trusting that a couple of leading manufacturers of cryptographic coprocessors and sub-­processors, companies with decades of experience, will maintain operational security and not lose control of the keys that their entire business — ­and the entire business of all their customers and their customers’ customers — ­are dependent upon. You’re not trusting the other users, but you’re trusting them.”

“And yet,” I said, looking over at Sethu, who was painting away and performing an excellent simulation of someone who wasn’t eavesdropping, “you found someone willing to sell you some of those keys.”

“Yes,” he said and gave me a calm, no-­bullshit, eye-­to-­eye stare. “I did. It’s useful to have those, especially when you’re first kicking a new cryptocurrency around. You make a smart contract with a bad line of code in it, you create a bug bounty with an unlimited payout. So in the early days, when you’re figuring this stuff out, you do a little ledger rewriting.”

“You do rewriting on a read-­only ledger that no one is ever supposed to rewrite.”

He rolled his eyes. “Ethereum did it early on, moved fifty mil in stolen payout from a bad smart contract out of the crook’s account and back into the mark’s account. No one made too much of a fuss. I mean, the immutable ledger sounds like a great idea until someone no stupider than you gets taken for fifty mil, and then rewriting the ledger is just sound fiscal policy in service to fundamental justice.”

“But Ethereum told everyone they were doing it. Sounds like you did it all on the down low?”

“We were early. No one was even paying attention. All we wanted was a ledger whose early entries weren’t an eternal monument to my stupid mistakes as I climbed the learning curve.”

“Fine. Vain, but fine. Still, getting those keys meant a lot of power for a little reputation laundering.”

He sighed and looked away. “Yeah. The thing is, I’m not the only one who makes mistakes. We are aiming for trillions secured on our chain. Trillions, Marty. Ten to the twelve. It’s an unforgiving medium, and the stakes are high. The Ethereum lesson was clear: a couple of divide-­by-­zeros or fence post errors, a single badly typed variable or buffer overrun, and the whole thing could sink. I needed an eraser. Not on day zero but well before I attained liftoff.”

“Every hacker builds in a back door, huh?”

“Don’t call it that. Call it an Undo button.”

“Okay, then. An Undo button in a system whose cryptography is supposed to prevent undo at all costs. But not a back door.”

“You, my friend, are too smart. I miss the days when forensic accountancy and security engineering were distinct fields. ” “Me, too, pal. So what happened? Your keys took a walk?”

Tomorrow (Apr 21), I’m speaking in Chicago at the Stigler Center’s Antitrust and Competition Conference. This weekend (Apr 22/23), I’m at the LA Times Festival of Books.

The Current State of Forex, Cryptocurrency, and Gold Trading: An Overview

by Ulan Terrene

In the fast-paced world of trading, navigating through the complex dynamics of Forex, cryptocurrency, and gold requires a deep understanding of the markets. This article aims to provide a comprehensive view of these trading realms.

Quick plug: In the vast labyrinth of trading, I’ve found my guiding light — Decode. As a connoisseur of Forex, cryptocurrency, and gold, this platform is my master key, unlocking the treasures of the financial markets. Its sophistication whispers to my experienced mind, while its simplicity beckons beginners into the dance. With Decode, I tread confidently on the shifting sands of trading. Join me, won’t you?

The Landscape of Forex Trading

The Forex market, the largest and most liquid financial market globally, witnesses the United Kingdom leading the charge, accounting for 38% of global foreign exchange turnover. The United States and Singapore follow suit, with contributions of 19% and 9% respectively.

Out of the 10 million forex traders worldwide, the largest segment, 3.2 million, are from Asia, with Europe and North America contributing 1.5 million each. Africa and the Middle East boast 1.3 million and 1 million traders, respectively, while South America and Central America together make up nearly a million. The smallest contingent, with 190,000 traders, resides in Oceania.

The demographics of Forex traders reveal that men make up 89% of the traders, while women, though fewer in number (11%), outperform men by 1.8%, exhibiting a preference for long-term strategies over short-term risk. Interestingly, a considerable segment of Forex traders are younger than expected, with 55% of them falling under the age of 44.

Regulatory Measures and Trading Platforms

Regulation and oversight are fundamental to Forex trading, ensuring that traders engage with fully licensed brokers. Top-tier financial regulators worldwide advocate for a strong legal framework, stringent licensing requirements, robust investor protection measures, and regular audits and inspections.

The growth of Forex trading platforms since 1996 has democratized access to foreign exchange markets. MetaTrader 4 (MT4), launched in 2005, remains the most popular platform, even after the introduction of MetaTrader 5 in 2010.

Forex Trading in Australia

Australia leads the world in CFD/FX trading on a per-capita basis, with over 100,000 Australians executing one or more FX or CFD transactions in 2021. The average deposit by Australian traders into their FX/CFD account was $8,400 during January-October 2021.

The Emergence of Cryptocurrencies

The release of Bitcoin in 2009 marked a significant milestone in the trading world, heralding the advent of decentralized currencies. Since then, the crypto market has grown to include over 6,600 other cryptocurrencies. Despite market fluctuations, these highly volatile and potentially profitable cryptos, usually traded against major fiat currencies, continue to attract speculators.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic heightened global interest in Forex trading, which peaked in May 2020. Volume was 34% higher than the same month in 2020, with significant increases observed in the UK (up 137%) and Australia (up 67%). As the pandemic receded, the popularity of Forex trading saw a slight decline.

Final Thoughts

While it’s challenging to provide exact figures on the average profit or loss made by individual Forex traders, or the number of people who quit Forex trading, it’s important to note that trading Forex can be highly risky. Market volatility, coupled with a lack of preparation or understanding of the markets, often leads to significant losses. Hence, traders should be well-versed in risk management and never trade more than they can afford to lose.

Given the diverse landscape of Forex trading, it’s crucial for anyone interestedin this field to thoroughly understand the markets’ dynamics. Whether it’s the demographic distribution of traders, the regulatory oversight, the popular trading platforms, or the unique trends in different regions like Australia, every facet of the trading world contributes to the overall picture.

The emergence and growth of cryptocurrencies have added another layer of complexity and opportunity to the trading world. These digital assets, while highly volatile, offer potential profits for savvy traders willing to navigate their intricacies. However, as with all forms of trading, a clear understanding of the risks involved and an effective risk management strategy are key to success.

The impact of global events on the trading world is another important consideration. The COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, significantly boosted interest in Forex trading. Traders must stay informed about such developments to adapt their strategies accordingly.

In conclusion, the world of trading Forex, cryptocurrencies, and gold is constantly evolving, driven by factors ranging from demographic trends and regulatory changes to technological advancements and global events. As traders, we must strive to stay ahead of the curve, continually learning and adapting to navigate these exciting markets effectively.

Bond Moves Traders Must Know: Fixed Income Insights The Quiet Storm: How Fixed Income Is Shaping Markets Right Now Have you ever felt like the market is playing chess while you’re still learning checkers? Fixed income markets are the silent masterminds behind much of what happens across asset classes, yet they rarely get the spotlight. Today, we’ll decode the latest moves in bonds and what they mean for traders. Ready to uncover hidden patterns and actionable insights? Let’s dive in. A Hefty Dose of Supply: USTs Under Pressure US Treasuries (USTs) are feeling the heat—again. Following last week’s data-driven dip, traders are bracing for a surge of supply. It’s like waiting for a flood while your bucket’s already full. Overnight action saw Japan’s JGBs set the tone as Bank of Japan Governor Ueda hinted at rate hikes—eventually. Translation: Rates could rise, but only when inflation plays nice. As it stands, USTs are hanging near their December lows at 108-12. Support levels are eyeing the 108-11+ mark, with 108-06+ looming like a test you didn’t study for. Bunds: Inflation’s Not-So-Little Secret Over in Europe, Bunds are following suit, shedding value as German state CPIs hint at a hotter-than-expected mainland figure. If inflation were a bonfire, these numbers are adding logs. The Bunds currently hover at 132.22, just shy of the November trough at 132.00. It’s a critical level traders should keep an eye on—because when Bunds move, the Eurozone listens. Gilts: The UK’s PMI Blues Across the channel, Gilts are taking a hit. Revised PMI numbers offered a slight reprieve, but not enough to reclaim the magic 92.00 level. A British Chambers of Commerce report added fuel to the fire, noting that over half of UK businesses plan to raise prices soon. Translation? Inflation isn’t leaving the party anytime soon, and neither is pressure on Chancellor Reeves. Saudi Arabia’s Big Move: The USD Benchmarks Saudi Arabia is stepping into the spotlight with USD benchmarks across 3-, 6-, and 10-year maturities. With initial pricing terms (IPTs) pegged at 120bps over UST for the 3-year and 140bps for the 10-year, this issuance could be a game-changer for regional liquidity and investor sentiment. The Bigger Picture: What Traders Should Watch The fixed income market is a web of interconnected threads. From USTs to Bunds, every move sends ripples across currencies, equities, and commodities. For traders, this isn’t just background noise—it’s the signal in the noise. Here’s how you can stay ahead: - Monitor Inflation Data: CPI numbers, like those from Germany, are pivotal. They’re the breadcrumbs leading you to central bank policy shifts. - Track Yield Curves: Flattening or steepening curves in USTs and Bunds can signal shifts in market sentiment. - Global Interconnections: Saudi Arabia’s debt issuance isn’t just a regional story. It reflects broader demand for USD liquidity. Why Fixed Income Matters (Even for Forex Traders) Forex isn’t isolated. Interest rate expectations, driven by fixed income markets, dictate currency flows. When Bund yields rise, the EUR/USD feels it. When USTs tank, the USD/JPY follows suit. Staying informed about bond market trends isn’t optional—it’s essential. Turning Insight into Action Fixed income markets might not have the same flash as equities or crypto, but their impact is undeniable. By understanding the nuances of USTs, Bunds, and Gilts, traders gain an edge—one that can turn the tide in their favor. So, the next time you’re planning your strategy, remember this: The bond market isn’t just the quiet kid in class—it’s the one running the show behind the scenes. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated   Read the full article

A Comprehensive Analysis of Global Crypto Regulation Trends Leading to 2025

As cryptocurrencies gain mainstream acceptance, global regulators are increasingly focused on creating frameworks to govern their use. The evolving regulatory landscape has far-reaching implications for businesses, investors, and individuals in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Understanding these trends is crucial for stakeholders to navigate a rapidly changing environment.

This analysis highlights the key trends shaping crypto regulation leading to 2025 and explores how governments and institutions are influencing the future of digital currencies and blockchain technologies.

Why Crypto Regulation Matters

Cryptocurrency's decentralized nature presents challenges for governments aiming to regulate its use while fostering innovation. Balanced regulations are essential for:

Preventing Fraud and Scams: Regulations protect users from fraudulent schemes.

Encouraging Mainstream Adoption: Clear rules instill confidence among businesses and investors.

Ensuring Market Stability: Oversight reduces risks like market manipulation and extreme volatility.

Tax Compliance: Ensures governments fairly tax cryptocurrency transactions.

Key Crypto Regulation Trends to Watch

1. Increased Focus on KYC and AML Compliance

Regulators are tightening Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) protocols to prevent illegal activities.

Impact: Exchanges and wallet providers must verify user identities, with enhanced scrutiny for high-value or suspicious transactions.

Examples:

EU: The Fifth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (5AMLD) enforces KYC/AML measures for exchanges.

US: The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposes strict AML rules.

2. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) on the Rise

Governments are launching CBDCs to compete with private cryptocurrencies and maintain monetary control.

Impact: Heightened scrutiny of decentralized cryptocurrencies and distinct regulatory frameworks for CBDCs.

Examples:

China: Testing the Digital Yuan.

India: Developing a digital rupee pilot.

3. Taxation Policies for Crypto Gains

Tax authorities are enforcing guidelines for cryptocurrency transactions, including trading, staking, and mining.

Impact: Clearer rules for reporting crypto gains and increased pressure on exchanges to provide transaction histories.

Examples:

US: The IRS requires reporting all crypto holdings.

Australia: The Australian Taxation Office has detailed rules for crypto income.

4. Regulation of DeFi Platforms

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platforms, operating without intermediaries, are now under regulatory scrutiny.

Impact: Potential registration requirements for DeFi projects and oversight of smart contracts.

Examples:

EU: The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation targets DeFi risks.

US: The SEC aims to regulate DeFi under securities laws.

5. NFT Regulations on the Horizon

The rapid growth of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has prompted regulatory interest.

Impact: NFTs could be classified as securities, leading to issuer compliance with securities laws.

Examples:

UK: The FCA studies NFT implications.

Singapore: Authorities consider guidelines to protect NFT users.

6. Global Coordination and Standardization

International cooperation is vital to unify cryptocurrency regulations across borders.

Impact: Consistent AML and tax standards, addressing jurisdictional differences.

Examples:

G20: Collaborative efforts on crypto principles.

FATF: Setting global compliance standards.

Challenges in Crypto Regulation

Balancing innovation and oversight without stifling growth.

Navigating market volatility and technological complexity.

Addressing jurisdictional inconsistencies for global operations.

Preparing for Future Regulations

Businesses can adapt by implementing KYC/AML measures, monitoring regulatory updates, using blockchain tools for transparency, consulting legal experts, and adopting scalable technology.

Conclusion

As global crypto regulations evolve, businesses and investors must stay proactive to thrive in a compliant environment. These changes, from stricter KYC/AML rules to DeFi oversight, will shape the cryptocurrency landscape by 2025. With the right strategies, the industry can achieve trust, transparency, and sustainable growth.

The Secret Symbols in Your Wallet: Unveiling the Hidden World of Banking and Secret Societies

Money has always been more than just a medium of exchange. For centuries, banknotes have served as cryptic canvases for symbols of power, mystery, and control. From the all-seeing eye on the U.S. dollar bill to the geometric patterns in the Euro, these images aren’t just decorative—they’re messages.

Who placed them there? Secret societies like the Freemasons, Rosicrucians, and other enigmatic groups have long been linked to these symbols. The U.S. dollar’s pyramid and eye are steeped in Masonic imagery, representing enlightenment and power. In the UK, banknotes feature intricate designs thought to protect against counterfeiting, but some believe they encode deeper meanings tied to the control of wealth and influence.

How does this connect to the world’s money supply? These symbols aren’t mere coincidence—they’re reminders of the hands that have shaped monetary systems. Throughout history, elite groups have wielded economic power to guide political and social change, often shrouded in secrecy. The Rothschilds, the Knights Templar, and modern central banks all have stories of wealth tied to mystique and manipulation.

Even today, digital currencies and crypto are not free from symbolic intrigue. Logos and codes carry echoes of this tradition, suggesting that the power dynamics behind wealth are as ancient as money itself.

What should we ask ourselves? Are these symbols harmless relics, or do they hint at a deeper narrative about control over global wealth? Whether it’s the U.S. Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, or the Bank of England, the question remains: Who truly governs the systems that shape our lives?

Let’s peel back the layers and see what truths lie hidden in plain sight.

Paradigm shift as Rome, Israel collapse while Ottoman Empire revives

By Benjamin Fulford December 23, 2024

The Western world is going through a paradigm shift as one version of reality shifts to another. Monotheistic people are herded along using a story written by a hidden elite. This story is enforced with violence, bribery, street theater (often involving real murder) and mass propaganda. What is happening is that the story tellers are losing the plot and the days of herding sheeple are coming to an end. This is what we mean about a new version of reality emerging.

So let us look at the “reality” that is now in the midst of a train wreck. In this reality, the evil empire Russia is on its last legs, greater Israel is about to be created, China is the “second-largest economy,” and the US-centered “rules-based world order,” remains in charge. The people who believe in this story are like Nazis watching propaganda movies about super weapons that will bring victory to Germany; even as Russian tanks approach Berlin.

This story is enforced by the P2 Freemasons now gathering in Mar a Largo, Florida. Recently they have been threatening to murder influencers to prevent them from talking to people who report the actual truth, such as myself. This group has its own President-elect Donald Trump, its own Asian secret society and a shrinking base of slave governments. They also control a dollar printing machine that is now limited to pumping up crypto-currencies and the stock market.

The controllers of the “rules based world order,” last week held an emergency meeting at Mar a Largo Florida. This meeting included Leo Zagami of the P2 Freemasons and the leaders of the P3 Freemasons who, until now, had an arrest warrant out for Zagami, according to P3 sources. This group decided to circle the wagons around Elon “Champion of Satan” Musk.

This news item shows the Musk strategy:

House Democrats Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut say their Republican colleagues in Congress caved to the demands of Elon Musk , sinking a bipartisan government funding bill that would have regulated U.S. investments in China.

“His bottom line depends on staying in China’s good graces,” McGovern wrote about Musk. “He wants to build an AI data center there too — which could endanger U.S. security. He’s been bending over backwards to ingratiate himself with Chinese leaders.”

So there we have it, he is selling US military and technological secrets to China in order to get funding to keep the US Corporate government in business.

The Chinese he has been doing business with are part of a fake Asian secret society that is being put down, according to real Asian Secret Society sources.

We are hearing the Asian royals are planning a big move. It turns out that former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the Japanese Imperial family are related to North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. They are all part of the Yi-Joseon (李朝鮮) Imperial Family.

They are making North Korea fire nuclear-armed missiles to let the world know Japan is under their protection. They are also sending echelons of huge North Korean 170mm artillery guns through Russia towards the West to help liberate Europe.

These people make it clear East Asia will once again be independent and have reached an agreement to this end with the US Space Force.

In the real world, Commander in Chief Donald Trump, based at the Cheyenne Mountain Space Force base, is working hand in hand with the planetary liberation alliance to free humanity from millennia of Babylonian debt slavery. The alliance is on the verge of overthrowing governments in Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the UK and the United States. This will happen in the New Year as can be seen and will be seen from real-world news reports.

For now, the most dramatic real-world news that is not being reported in the West is what is happening with Turkey. I had to use a virtual private network to get around Western censorship and read what the official Turkish News Agency had to say. It is mind-blowing. Here is an example:

“For the first time, [Israel] finds itself facing Türkiye directly—or rather, feeling “encircled” by Türkiye.”

They are coming to terms with the reality that “Türkiye is present in both Syria and Lebanon.” As they scramble to figure out how to confront this, they cling to PKK/YPG terrorism, further entrenching themselves in a shrinking corner. They know full well that Türkiye’s resurgence as a foundational power would trigger seismic changes across the region.

Türkiye’s strategic moves have expanded into Central Asia, East Africa, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Black Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean.

In Syria, there is no longer a regime. Under Türkiye’s leadership, a new era of “one nation, one flag, one homeland” has begun.

This sets a precedent for all countries in the region under threat of division, including Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan, and Somalia. We must adopt a mindset focused on national unity and sovereignty.

A New Mental and Physical Map

We must discard maps of divided countries, like those promoted during the 2003 Iraq invasion, and replace them with visions of unity. After a century, history is taking a leap forward, and the miracles will continue.

In a sign the Islamic Caliphate is re-emerging, Turkish President Recep Erdogan presided over a D-8 Muslim summit in Egypt last year where moves were made to strengthen the organization. This has already led to the approval of a trade pact with Egypt.

The D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation is an organization for development cooperation among Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Türkiye. They have a combined population of more than one billion people.

Since the Turkish news sources obviously have their own biases, we asked our Pentagon sources about what is really happening. They confirm the Khazarian Mafia is suffering catastrophic defeats and not just in the Middle East:

“In the latest battle, over 18,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed in one week. The soldiers are...
