Compliance Quick Tip for #Bitcoin Merchants: If you are a small business accepting sats directly (e.g., via BTCPay Server) and self-custodying, your AML/KYC requirements are dramatically lower than a traditional PSP (Payment Service Provider). The rule of thumb: If you never hold customer funds, you are likely not a Money Transmitter. Focus on transaction monitoring for suspicious activity, not customer onboarding. Ask me your setup-specific question in the replies! #LightningNetwork #BizOnBitcoin
Have we reached the bottom yet?
Just set up a new Blink wallet and successfully connected it to the Bringin app via NWC! Super smooth process. Now I can not only buy/sell Bitcoin directly from my IBAN over Lightning, but also send and receive Bitcoin from and to my Blink acc. right within the Bringin app. Pretty cool to see this level of integration.

Google is diving deeper into Bitcoin! 🚀 They're working on making Bitcoin wallets as easy to use as your regular web2 apps, even aiming for login with your Google account. This came from Kyle Song at Google Cloud at the Bitcoin Tech Carnival in Hong Kong.
Key takeaways:
* Simplifying Bitcoin access for everyone.
* Boosting wallet usability and security to web2 standards.
* Exploring zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) and other tech to build trust and reliability.
* Collaborating with the Bitcoin industry and integrating with web3 projects.
Think logging into your Bitcoin wallet with your Google account! 🤯 Google sees the 2024 spot Bitcoin ETFs as a big opportunity and has been working with Bitcoin devs for a while now. They're focused on lowering the barrier to entry for mainstream users and tackling the tech challenges of bridging traditional finance and blockchain. They're also looking at things like layer 1/layer 2 solutions, MPC, and data indexing. #Bitcoin #Google #Web3 #Crypto #ZKP

Open-source intelligence gathering (OSINT) has become an increasingly valuable tool for compliance professionals, as it allows for the identification of risks and threats to an organization through publicly available sources. Check out our video if you want to learn more:
Compliance training is absolutely essential for reducing risk and fostering a culture of integrity.
But let’s be honest: if policies are unclear or buried in a dense handbook, employees won’t follow them.
🔍 Research shows that employees are more likely to adhere to compliance policies when they are concise, well-structured, and easy to understand.
Using plain language, real-world examples, and visual aids can increase policy comprehension and reduce compliance violations.
Additionally, regularly reinforcing policies through short refreshers or microlearning helps employees retain key information and apply it in their daily work.
A well-informed team is a compliant team 💪
Can someone please send a small zap to test my wallet to try it out? #plebchain
