Policy Division Financial Crimes Enforcement Network P.O. Box 39 Vienna, VA 22183 FinCEN Docket No. FINCEN-2020-0020, RIN 1506-AB47 January 4, 2020 Dear Sir or Madam, The proposed regulations on currency transaction reports and record-keeping seem to require that banks and money services businesses (MSBs) be able to prove that an identified counterparty to a transaction indeed owns one or more particular cryptocurrency addresses, when that counterparty uses an unhosted wallet and the transaction is over $3,000 in value. (The $3,000 mark would invoke the record-keeping requirement, while the $10,000 mark would also invoke the currency transaction report requirement.) The proposal makes no explicit distinction between withdrawals and deposits, so I assume that the aforementioned proof of ownership requirement would apply to both types of transactions if they … [Read More...]

This week, Anthony Scaramucci’s SkyBridge Capital announced the launch of its investment thesis, presentation and full website for its new Bitcoin Fund LP. Unlike other investment firms, it went a step further in explaining why it is actively choosing bitcoin over gold.

Melissa Gilbert melted our hearts for nine whole seasons with her portrayal of Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. On the show, Laura shares a deep love for Almanzo Wilder, played by Dean Butler. But as much as her character adores him, behind the scenes, Gilbert was terrified of Butler. She couldn’t stand the thought of kissing a grown man in his 20s, considering she was only 15-years-old at the time. And because she was so uncomfortable with their kissing scenes, she begged Michael Landon to make them “hugging scenes” instead.

In Historic First, FAA Approves Fully Automated Commercial Drones In US Skies In nothing less than a revolutionary step for aviation and which will forever alter the skies over America, on Thursday the Federal Aviation Administration for the first time issued approval for the first fully automated commercial drone flights. It’s been revealed Friday that the FAA granted a small Massachusetts-based company called American Robotics Inc. the authorization to operate automated drones, meaning they won’t need either hands-on piloting on the ground or direct observation while in flight.
