You're soon going to wish you adopted Privacy Coins instead
of remaining foolish Bitcoin Sheeple who let those
agents who took over Bitcoin bury the Privacy topic.
Why are Binance and Kraken being targeted by Wall Street? (self.Bitcoin)
by TheFutureofMoney
The DOJ is attacking Binance. The SEC is attacking Kraken.
https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/11/20/kraken-accused-by-sec-of-operating-unregistered-platform-improperly-mixing-customer-funds/
These are, IMO, the two most reputable and trusted exchanges, at least
domestically. This coordinated attack proves the Bitcoin Spot ETF is
near. Why?
They could've said the same things about them, and made the same
attacks, 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 2 years ago. They're not doing
anything different in Q4 2023 than they were in previous years. The
SEC knows that. The DOJ knows that. So why attack them now?
Because they want to say they are "cleaning up the industry", so
proper accredited and institutional investors can enter, with
confidence. And they don't want Binance and Kraken seen as viable
investment platforms for new users, with major resources, to start
investing in.
Over 93% of the Bitcoins have been mined. Wall Street knows they need
to move in fast, get a strong foothold, and corner the remaining
market supply.
It's not an accident that the SEC has kept the regulatory waters murky
for the industry.
Once Wall Street enters, I'm sure they'll have some new regs to
further limit the user base Binance and Kraken have in the market.
This is "they fight you" phase" of Bitcoin's progression to victory.
The SEC and DOJ are tipping the scales in Wall Street's favor, in
real-time, besmirching the credibility of Binance and Kraken,
undermining their ability to do new business and retain AUM.
It's clumsy and ham-handed of them to attack both at the same time.
They could've been a little more clever than that, and not make it so
obvious, but the Satoshis are running though the hourglass.
Time is of the essence. 2024 is gonna be a big year, and Wall Street
is ready to invest in my retirement.
Thanks.

CZ from Binance is a scumbag and has been rigging the market with
Justin Sun. Look at all of the news that's been around Binance
subverting banking regulations, etc. Saying Binance is the most
trusted exchange is totally ignorant of what has been going on for

One thing is trade: exchanging goods and services for money or other
goods and services; and other, very, very different thing is trading:
speculating what the future price of something will be based on
charts.
They are not the same thing, they are not interchangeable terms.
Binance doesn't want you to use your money on trade, but on trading,
that's not using, that's gambling.

I don't trade. Talking about trading as a "use case" for bitcoin is
like talking about mining as a use case; it makes no sense, yet
without mining bitcoin would not exist. In the same way, without
traders, liquidity would dry up and then bitcoin as money would cease
to have meaning. So, is trading a use case? Not really. But is trading
vital to bitcoin? Absolutely.

Government is an organised crime racket but the problem is that the

ungoverned. They will do anything to get there including scam you and
steal from you. Just because someone is making some noises you like

This is a different and deeper conversation to have.
In context, I have no problem with the SEC/DOJ going after binance
with the current system we have. Overall I think its a good thing. I
was definitely speaking out of context and "in general".
But if you were speaking in generalities, you'd also be correct.
People who complain about government will do very little to actually
try to fix it.

Don’t pull Kraken into the same conversation as Binance. Dave didn’t
do a damn thing. He consistently allows transfers to non-custodial
wallets and in general has been playing the exchange business
straight.
CZ has been fast and loose for years. Binance regularly slows/inhibits
self custody, but to their credit Binance absolutely does work to stop
illicit transfers, now; wasn’t always the case but has been doing a
good job for a couple years.
Kraken has been no drama and solid from the beginning.

crypto is threatening to traditional financial institutions.
In what way or shape or form is this true? The only threat crypto has
is taken some control from them by people who aren't going to jump
through hoops to play in the system they build (aka regulation).
Crypto is no way shape or forms threatens anything. It's not faster,
cheaper or better. The key function of crypto is the gov doesn't
control it. They can't seize it without involving you. So they are
attacking the on/off ramps.
All this is really simple if you look at this situation like you are
the government. All these wild speculations is laughable. Banks and
govs don't want unfair competition. What's unfair abotu crypto is
companies like binance, kraken, crypto.com, coinbase can do things
they can't do. Like printing something that somehow has value
(usdc/usdt). They don't like competition.
They aren't trying to corner any market, they are trying to get
involved just as the guy selling shovels did in the gold rush days.
That's the value they are looking to extract.
It's laughable how all these wild ideas come up on this sub.
Edited to add: by the way I called this shit years ago, it was obv
after KYC what was coming down the pipe.

I'm pretty sure they want to regain power. Just think about it. If
traditional banks can issue BTC-ETFs = paper BTC, it's just the same
step they took with gold certificates. The next generation of gold
certificates are fiat currencies. If they start again with BTC they
can issue the paper BTC first before converting it to their CBDCs aka
next generation fiat currencies. They want to overtake the system with
their well known players to regain control over it. Fiat currencies
have given them more control than they could've ever dreamed of. They
will do their best to maintain the current system.

>From the Reuters article:
Kraken was also accused of having deficient internal controls and
inadequate record keeping, reflected in part in its commingling
customer money with its own and paying operating costs directly from
customer accounts.
It appears that they could have been running a fractional reserve
banking system. Or at least the mixing of funds could lead to
inadvertently spending customer's money/assets/bitcoin without a
guarantee of them getting it back. And we all know how fractional
reserves have worked out for past crypto exchanges and even real
banks...
A reputable exchange would keep the customer assets/tokens/bitcoins
1:1 in a holding wallet for them until they traded it or withdrew it.
The exchange should legally only have access to the brokerage fee per
trade which should be sent to the exchange's own account. The exchange
should not mess with any accounts except their own, nor should they be
mixing all the funds into bigger wallets and trying to keep track with
a database instead (which is quite easy to manipulate).

Binance has been mixing funds. Remember when they told you Binance

that Binance U.S. funds where also getting mixed?
It also has ties back to China. While they’ve been trying to move away
from China’s influence, there is a possibilities of some ties still.
I’d consider this move against them to be a U.S vs China move. Likely
the U.S wants a H.S tried and true company handling American funds and

If BTC wins, then the SEC will no longer be needed. This way, the SEC
stamps its authority to try and become the alpha dominant force. Keeps
everyone in a job and bullies its way forwards as it’s always done.
Banks and the SEC are just as corrupt as anything else on the world,

The SEC needs to modernize its outdated regulations and streamline
them for the crypto industry.

Maybe investigation and research aswell as putting together a case
that something wrong/illegal is happening takes time? You need proof
and you need a solid case if you want to prove fraud. And that can
take years.

Let's run that Game Theory.
Think.
What are the chances that all that investigation and research leads
two different government agencies to attack two different
Bitcoin-related international corporations on the same week, just
before the BlackRock Spot ETF is approved?
Ok....

What about all the other exchanges? Are there only 2? What will they
about those? Why not attack them all and take everything for
themselves? Think.

Wall Street aren't too worried about 90% of coins being mined. They'll
just dangle 100k, 1m, 10m a coin in front of our faces. They know
eventually they will get them for whatever price it takes and no
matter what it will still be a good deal for them as its only going
up. The old adage 'everyone has their price still holds true'.

They traffic unregistered securities as the SEC sees it. Has nothing
to do with bitcoin. Shitcoins and everything they touch will bend the
knee

Binance is not in US control. Big no no. Kraken is not under East cost
control. Another big no no. Last but not least...in an ideal banker
world you should buy in a couple of months these wonderful ETF
products. Don't directly own the shit we want to hand you out as
limitless i.o.u.'s in a couple of months. Where is the business if you
own it yourself ...

If you want an approved ETF, you have to get control of the sketchy
stuff. Binance was doing sketchy stuff. They got fined 4 billion for
it.
They must know there are many, many billions left to make if they can
fork over $4 Billion.
We should cheer every time one of these places needs to clean up their act.

In my experience over the past few years, Kraken has been a 1st class
professional organization and provided exceptional customer service
for both trading and staking.
