Thank you. It’s as painful as it is funny in some ways. How is it possible to be that shit?

Another soul-crushing response from the BBC. After a year, they continue to ignore all the key points raised:

- Failed to disclose Alex DeVries' conflict of interest as a Dutch central banker.

- Ignored that his research was debunked at the time of publication.

- Provided no evidence of their own fact-checking.

Instead, they cited other outlets who published the same misinformation.

Stage 1 has officially concluded. This is the end of the road with BBC Complaints. I now have 20 days to escalate the complaint to the Executive Complaints Unit—on to Stage 2.

Hong Kong to eliminate capital gains tax on bitcoin for hedge funds and family offices in a bid to become a global financial hub.

Major influx of capital expected.

So, how can we minimise distractions for someone that wants to learn about Bitcoin?

When we speak of ‘going down the rabbit hole’, until now, as far as I’m aware, this has only meant reading, watching and listening to Bitcoin content across different mediums.

What if we could explore the different components of a particular rabbit hole, all in one place? Minimising noise, and distractions.

I’ve created an initiative, and a proof of concept to help bring this idea to life. You can learn about it using the link below, but please be aware that the content is not suited for small screens - you'll need a reasonably large screen (like a laptop) and a mouse.

My ambition is to inspire others to create their own open source rabbit holes. I hope some of you will be interested in joining me.

Please, let me know what you think!

Woohoo!!

If you built a custom wallet and act as your own provider, CARF likely wouldn’t apply to you directly. CARF targets Reporting Crypto-Asset Service Providers, such as exchanges and third-party wallet providers, not individuals managing their own wallets.

However, any interaction with a CARF-covered entity (e.g., sending funds to an exchange) would still be reported by that entity. You may still be required to self-report your transactions and holdings to comply with tax laws in your country.

While CARF doesn’t currently target self-hosted wallets, I believe regulators could look to close gaps.

The new Crypto Asset Reporting Framework may signal ChokePoint 3.0, raising concerns over privacy, data security, reporting accuracy, and the potential for wrongful assessments due to incomplete or misinterpreted information.
