Sadly, privacy is becoming harder and harder to achieve just because this anti money laundry war doesn't care about citizens rights for privacy.

Well, I mean they do care about some citizens' right for privacy, just not the person-kind, but the legal document charter-kind 

<seriously> they will continue to give banks the right to privacy.</endseriously>

The normal way to solve these kind of dust problems is to just end the dust somewhere else and burn it without spending any of your other inputs. I mean it's dust, right? You won't need it for anything.

...people should use DAI instead of USDT in my opinion (EU users, be careful USDT will be banned in June for the whole EU).

I didn't know that the EU geniuses would do it, but it has been a big wish of some people from the ECB for years, especially their chief CL, who otherwise has a similar position on cryptocurrencies as, for example, the well-known SEC chairman. Given that I do not use stablecoins, this decision will not affect me, but it is really funny to me that they are fighting in such radical ways against everything they consider a threat to the euro - but they are obviously learning from their political brothers across the big pond.

Surprise (insert The Joker GIF here), who would've known that blacklisting your own coins wouldn't stop you from getting banned?

If you are not working with the government then you are like an enemy to them.

Another automated attack has taken down the Tor mirror of BitMixList. The main site was unaffected by this. Please stand by while I restore operations.

An investor that is struggling to pay bills, struggling to make it in life and doesn't have alternative means of making money often don't achieve such kind of journey.

Um...don't you see the oxymoron at the beginning of your sentence?

How can you be an investor if you are stuggling to pay the bills?

Being an investor implies that you have money to put into projects that you are OK with losing. And a lot of money, not a small amount. The same mistake I keep seeing over and over again is "investors" losing everything after the project they invested all their money in pulled an exit scam.

There's no chance for FTX to rebuild again after what happened, even if they return the funds of their investors and even include interest. I don't think these investors will come back to trust FTX again; they've caused a lot of miseries to their users and they also create distrust and disruption in the industry.

Investors have learned a lot from their experience from FTX and there will neve be another chance.

It has been said officially

An FTX lawyer said during a Wednesday hearing that plans for a re-launch of the exchange won’t come to fruition.

So it seems that FTX has finally been staffed by grown-ups after the kids were left running around making a mess of the company before. 

Not restarting operations at all is the correct decision. Where would they even find someone competent enough to do that for instance. The senior executives are either jailed or on trial right now.

These lawyers are pretty good. I wasn't expecting this kind of end result to come into fruitition.

Fees are back to let's say acceptable levels for simple payments, meaning 1 input, and not buying a coffee.
The bad thing in this is that it also means usage is dead, the blocks are full of runes and ordinals, a ton of them are coinjoins, we had 100 fewer blocks in the last two weeks that would have cleared the patch down to 6sat/vb and it keeps dropping, so probably a lot of users have either gone altcoin or (hopefully LN) and you're not going to see them coming back too soon.

That's right, fortunately at this time there is not too much use of the Ethereum network, which makes Ethereum transactions run smoothly without any obstacles and makes the gas fees required very cheap. Hopefully gas fees like this will last for a long time.

No, I wouldn't say that. Ethereum always has a steady transaction volume, but these days you don't hear about transaction throughput that is as bad as Bitcoin's, because they have a higher TPS and block generation rate. In the past, it was an issue though (google CryptoKitties, which ironically reminds me of BRC-20) but I think the Ethereum developers have found a way to remedy that.

I think things are very Clear , since Elon is a fan of Doge, it is very obvious that Doge can , for me it would be great if he put Bitcoin, but the bad thing About Musk is that he hasn't talked much about Bitcoin and that causes Rejection , only DOGE, and Doge's Biggest Pumps are thanks to him, because basically when things become clear for these things it is Doge who would be the closest coin to this.

We, as connoisseurs of Crypto for years, know that as long as Musk supports Doge, then Doge will have life, and that will be something that can generate more trust Among Doge Lovers.

Naw, they're not clear.

You probably know that Twitter handles all payments via Stripe.

Stripe, as I've covered earlier, does not offer customers the option to buy their products or subscriptions with crypto, especially not DOGE. And they have no intention of doing so in the near future

So the decision to integrate DOGE into Twitter is not even in Twitter's hands. It is strictly for Stripe to choose to do, unless Elon wants to use another payment gateway.
