Two Oklahoma senators introduce Bitcoin rights bill

Image
Two congressmen from the Oklahoma Senate have proposed a bill that would protect bitcoin holders from increasing regulatory pressure from U.S. authorities. The bill authored by Senators Brian Hill and Bill Coleman proposes to approve the right of every resident of the state to buy, store and sell bitcoins, as well as to engage in the mining of cryptocurrency. The plan is to make cryptocurrency eligible for lower tax levies when it is used as a medium of exchange. However, specific mechanisms for protecting rights and tax rates are not specified in the text of the document, which means that so far the document looks like just a declaration of intentions. According to Dennis Porter, founder of the Satoshi Action Fund, who supported the bill, the document could give Americans the right to protect the fundamental rights to their digital assets. The businessman asked all interested parties to support the initiative so that it becomes law as soon as possible. UPDATE MAY 17, 2024 Oklahom

Bitcoin is similar to small capitalization stocks

Image
Wolfe Research analyst Rob Ginsberg said that bitcoin's unsuccessful attempts to overcome the $70,000 mark demonstrate the similarity of this cryptocurrency's behavior pattern to the assets of small-cap companies. Rob Ginsberg highlighted several factors in an interview with CNBC. First, like small-cap stocks, bitcoin is subject to sharp price fluctuations. This is due to its relatively small market and less liquidity compared to the larger assets of the traditional financial market. At the same time, investing in bitcoin is speculative in nature, as is the case with shares of small capitalization companies. Investors buy bitcoin in the hope of rapid price growth and are guided by short-term goals, rather than making long-term investment decisions based on the fundamental value of the BTC. Rob Ginsberg added that the price of bitcoin, as well as the prices of small-cap stocks, is highly dependent on the general mood in the market, when positive news can lead to a sharp rise

Signs of scammers in the world of cryptocurrency

In the world of cryptocurrencies, where growth opportunities seem limitless, fraud is thriving. One of the brightest signals is the promise of unrealistically high returns. 1. High Returns When you are promised a return of 10-30% per month, you should be wary. Even the most successful investment funds and traders can rarely guarantee such figures. The promise of high and fast returns is a classic sign of a Ponzi scheme. 2. Unexplained revenue schemes If the project cannot clearly explain exactly how revenues will be generated, this is a cause for concern. Reliable investments have a clear business model and transparent sources of profit, while fraudsters often use complex or obviously unclear schemes. 3. We need to actively invite people to the project If it is necessary to attract new participants to receive the promised income, this is a sure sign of a fraudulent scheme. In such projects, the income of the first investors is formed from the contributions of subsequent investor
