Electronic Money Association members such as Revolut, PayPal and other companies are asking for more time before implementing the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulations. Fintech organizations using cryptocurrencies are reportedly calling on European institutions to give them additional time so they can prepare to comply with the new rules. Representatives of Revolut, PayPal and other companies directly contacted the EU Ministry of Finance with a request to extend the transition period. They recalled that the new MiCA rules will apply to all countries of the Union starting in December 2024, however, some countries may shorten these deadlines. According to payment institution leaders, there may not be enough time to prepare to comply with all laws. The European institutions provide a maximum transition period for compliance with MiCA of 18 months. However, it is subject to change at the discretion of individual countries, which Revolut and PayPal do not agree with. They ask that all EU members agree on a maximum period of 18 months. Otherwise, companies will have to suspend operations in individual states for indefinite periods, which will negatively affect business. Ireland has already stated that it agrees to follow the 18-month transition period for cryptocurrency providers (CASP). Major crypto companies currently have offices in the country, including Gemini, Coinbase and Binance, which will require regulatory approvals under MiCA. As for France, the regulator Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) is considering launching an “extended” registration of digital asset service providers, the DASP. The new rules will come into force in the country on January 1, 2024. In addition, the authorities also want to harmonize the licensing requirements for the European Authorization of Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP) regulations. Read the full article
You know, the entire US economic system is so messed up and so is a lot of your views of it (and I mean on both sides, I also include myself in this since I often don't realize until I *really* think about it) but like. Let's start by talking about taxes. There was a post going around lately that was like
Anyways this is not true. You can deduct INTEREST on mortgage from your taxes. Not mortgage itself. And for renters, in 23 states you can do the same. It's meant to be an offset for property taxes, which, in case you didn't know, are INSANE. Like my family pays more taxes on our house and property then on THE ENTIRE REST OF OUT TAXES, and we're in the top tax bracket. They don't tax you nearly enough on your ACTUAL INCOME but tax you way to much on your property and stock. It's basically based on, if you sold everything right now, what would we then be able to tax you. It's not measuring how much you make on a year to year basis, it's measuring how much you managed to save up over a long period in order to buy your big household a home that has enough space for everyone. It's definitely possible with housing/property taxes for them to cost so much that you can no longer afford your house and land, that you reasonably worked and saved up for. That's kind of unfair. Especially if you bought it when housing was cheap, and since the value on such things has gone up, so have your taxes. You weren't spending an insane amount of money on it. But now it's worth about 1.1 million and you've gotta move out or pay taxes on that. That's a thing that happens.
And meanwhile, a mega rich person who loves the city and therefore doesn't bother with a lot of land is taxed less than the moderately well off person in the previous example.
So the tax system is messed up, people need to pay more based on their actual income and less based on their homes.
Oh another thing with taxes is you know how charitable donations are tax deductible? Yeah only to a certain amount, meaning that there is no incentive for rich people to donate the proper amount given their income. Yes, I think they should give regardless of whether they're going to be rewarded for it, but people who hoard THAT MUCH money are selfish, and they're not going to. My family is not even that rich (dad worth something in the 10s of millions) but the amount we give (no big deal for us) is ALREADY well above the amount you can deduct from taxes. And we don't mind, but the super rich? Do you think they're going to go out of their way to support causes with anything more than petty cash and not be rewarded for it? They're not.
Ultimately, they shouldn't have such extravagant amounts of money in the first place, since they didn't work for it. My dad, which I mentioned previously, works 10+ hours a day, often including weekends. That's real work. His field is high paid and he in particular is high paid since he's the only one who can do what he does, and he gets extra for INVENTING most of the things his companies are based on, which he, you know SPENDS TIME STUDYING AND WORKING ON AND CREATING. He's not making tons of money just by owning something. That's wrong. All that excess cash should be going to the people who actually do the work.
And I think for the most part everyone acknowledges this, but y'all talking about killing the 1% doesn't realize how broad the 1% is. That includes doctors, lawyers, high level computer scientists, that WORK for their living, and are not exploiting you. Who you're looking to target is the owners, the people who hoard billions or trillions of dollars in wealth. Do you even know how much a trillion is? Let's say you take a rich person worth about 10 million. Ok how much more does someone worth a trillion make? They make 100,000 times more. What can you afford these days with 10 million? A nice house, decent cars for the household members that drive, some land, the ability to not worry about medical bills and to pay for college, plus a bit extra to save or give to charity. How nice. A lot of people don't have that privilege. What about 1 trillion? There is not a house in existence that will make a dent in your finances. You could send your children to any college they want for their whole lives and not make a dent in your finances. You could buy companies on a whim with almost no consequence. It's not right. It's especially not right when other people have trouble paying for both rent and groceries.
And this is why, even growing up rich, I'm such a communist. It is not a fever dream for us ALL to be able to live, comfortable, reasonable lives. The current wealth in the world redistributed, and suddenly everyone could live like I do. It isn't lessening the average person's quality of living. For the vast majority of us, communism done right is nothing but an upgrade. Yeah so a fistful of billionaires and trillionaires will be really upset. They'd still have enough to live comfortably and yet they're the ones who own so much they can effectively block any progress in this direction. It's pure selfishness.

The funny thing is, I actually created NFTs not only because I liked art and expression, but more because I was carried away by hope and carried away by the atmosphere (fear of missing out). Additionally, due to the global trend of blockchain sales systems and new cryptocurrencies, it is actually still confusing as of now about all the suitable NFT marketing concepts that follow. It's the same as most people who have been stuck for years, so when they want to upload their work again. The situation has changed. The free lazy printing platform has changed to pay-it-forward, so the job may still be stuck on the 20 items already uploaded.

A Brief Look At Each Of The Top 30 Cryptocurrencies 2023.
Here’s an overview of the top 30 cryptocurrencies along with a brief description of each one, listing by market capitalization, utility, and popularity. Please verify the latest rankings and information, as the cryptocurrency market is dynamic.
“Dead NFTs: The Evolving Landscape of the NFT Market” is a new report from dappGambl, a community of experts in finance and blockchain technology. Upon analysis of 73,257 NFT collections, the authors found that 69,795 have a market cap of zero Ether (ETH), the second most-popular cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin. In practical terms, that means 95 percent of NFTs wouldn’t fetch a penny today — a spectacular crash for assets that reached a trading volume of $17 billion amid a frenzied bull market in 2021. The study estimates that some 23 million investors own these tokens of no practical use or value.

The “Dead NFTs” report observes that the nearly 200,000 NFT collections “with no apparent owners or market share” identified by the study caused carbon emissions equivalent to the annual output from 2,048 houses, or 3,531 cars.
