🖥 The Federal Tax Service of Russia (FTS) additionally charged a miner from St. Petersburg 17 000 000 rubles, although he declared income as an individual — with a profit of only 81 000 rubles.
The tax authority believes that the status of an individual entrepreneur (IE) applies to all activities, including mining, and requires taxes to be calculated under the general system. Lawyers note that the approach is controversial and can be challenged, but the process will be long.

The idea is simple: remove the main source of attacks in DeFi—human access and the ability to change the rules of the game.

🪙 The film Finding Satoshi puts forward the theory that two people were behind Satoshi Nakamoto: Hal Finney and Len Sassaman: the former handled the code, the latter handled the texts and communications.
The authors cite similar digital footprints, both men's involvement in the cryptographic community, and oddities in Satoshi's activity, which are more easily explained by the pair working together.
An additional argument is that Satoshi disappeared in 2011, and both candidates are now deceased, which could explain the untouched bitcoins.

🇰🇷 South Korea's tax service ordered the development of a system for tracking crypto transactions, including analysis of non-custodial wallets and connections between addresses — launch is planned for this year.
However, it remains unclear how exactly they will "de-anonymize" such wallets in practice — likely through blockchain analytics and matching data from exchanges, which raises questions about accuracy.
@DeCenterOrg
🪙 Vitalik Buterin stated that Ethereum is NOT trying to become the fastest network or compete with exchanges: its primary goal is to remain the most secure, decentralized, and resilient system for storing digital assets.
He added that the network is focusing on AI-powered code review and protection against quantum threats so that Ethereum can operate even without constant developer input.
He also criticized L2 networks that simply copy Ethereum and make it more centralized. According to him, a useful L2 must develop its own mechanics and address specific application needs, rather than being "Ethereum, only faster."
