Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology has come under increasing regulatory scrutiny in the Western world with recent executive orders and more from President Biden emerging in the US, controversy over proposed changes to the MiCA directive in the European Union and Treasury announcements expected in the UK regarding new crypto regulatory frameworks in the UK. Meanwhile, the Middle East has fast been establishing itself as both friendly to and a hub for cryptocurrency companies and actors in the space. Dubai in particular has been showing open arms to digital asset companies and this has been reaffirmed via recent announcements from some blue chip institutions in the space. In a statement released yesterday, Crypto.com released plans to construct a “significant” presence in the region. What’s more, ByBit made clear it’s intentions to move its global headquarters to the emirate, in a recent blog post. ByBit will begin operations in the jurisdiction as early as April of this year having been granted approval to carry out a “full spectrum” of digital asset operations in Dubai. Both Crypto.com and ByBit join the likes of Binance and FTX in expanding their operations to the UAE and it only goes to show that not all states are hostile and skeptical of cryptocurrency. Even Singapore, previously touted as a home to the likes of Crypto.com and Binance, tightened restrictions around consumer-facing marketing earlier this year… https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-29/crypto-com-bybit-announce-plans-to-set-up-operations-in-dubai - guy from CoinBureau -

US President Biden has released his budget proposal for the 2023 fiscal year and it isn’t all sunshine and roses for cryptocurrency in the States, despite local support from states like Florida, New York and Texas. Biden intends to impose mark-to-market rules to digital assets which are ‘actively traded’. This effectively means that investors are tax-liable for cryptocurrency gains that they have not yet realised by selling the asset in question. The above presents an hugely onerous obligations to investors which will surely push innovation and investment away from American shores. Biden dubs this the ‘modernisation’ of crypto regulations and expects the move would generate $6.6 billion in tax-revenue between 2023 and 2032. Furthermore, Biden wants to impose reporting requirements on US residents that hold more than $50,000 in offshore accounts. According to the Treasury, which expects the reporting tightening to generate $2.2 billion in revenue in ten years: "The global nature of the digital asset market offers opportunities for U.S. taxpayers to conceal assets and taxable income by using offshore digital asset exchanges and wallet providers," It is no secret that, as presidents go, Joe Biden is a big spender indeed. Though it seems foolhardy to force an emerging industry, like cryptocurrency, to shoulder to burden of his aggressive fiscal policy which is no doubt prompted by re-election pressures… https://decrypt.co/96270/biden-eyes-5-billion-2023-revenue-applying-new-tax-reporting-rules-crypto

Something a lot of people don't know. Jada has hair loss, this is why she shaved her head. She's been open about it and it's a hurtful topic for her. Chris Rock just literally made fun of her having a medical issue. Look at Jada's face after the joke. You could tell she was hurt. While the cameras weren't pointed at Will Smith, I'm sure he looked at his wife, could see the hurt and then reacted. Denzel Washington was seen later kneeling beside Jada with his arm around her and talking to her. I think he was just making sure she was okay. Will Smith smiles and let's a lot roll off his back, but I think seeing his wife hurt, just pissed him off. I take it as Will Smith was defending her, and I stand with Will Smith. You got a lot of guts getting up in the middle of a live show and smacking him for that. Chris Rock deserved it IMO. Don't make a joke about peoples struggles and you won't get slapped.

The Nazi Party having a Nazi Party

citing Wassman's "KL," a brutal and utterly detailed qccount of the Holocaust. These famous photos are of KL staff enjoying a vacation they received as part of a bonus for being "good employees" at the camp they were stationed in. The SS prized brutality above all else inside the camps, and while it is difficult to k ow what exactly earned these specific guards this retreat, it was almost certainly some public display of inhumanity against a KL inmate. These images are among the most important of KL history, as they show us that the guards were not threatened or coerced into brutality. Instead, they reveled in it. They enjoyed, and we're rewarded for, the cruelty they visited on others. The initial killing in the Holocaust was just soldiers machine gunning down rows of people. The “problem” with that was that many soldiers were committing suicide. So the Nazi higher ups designed the gas chambers because it was more sanitized. They also had to manipulate people working at the camps in order to get them do do heir jobs. This does not excuse this at all. We're all accountable for our actions. But these pictures don't capture the whole story. Don't forget that Stanley Milgram's research showed that many—but not all—regular people can be manipulated into committing atrocities.
