So, here's an update from the Netherlands on the (lack of) supervision by formal crypto supervisors DNB and AFM with repect to illegal operators in the Dutch market. It will be a bit long with referrals to Dutch items but I'll try to navigate you through Dutch and EU rules.
While non-EU operators of cryptoservices may make a business decision to wait for harmonised EU-license rules instead of registering on a state-by-state basis under the current AMLD5 legal regime, this could turn out to be a costly decision considering EU fair market rules.
In particular under Dutch rules, the consequence of not showing one's true colours -by not disclosing the lack of compliance with the EU and Dutch ruleset for cryptocompanies- will mean that quite realistically all illegally offered services to Dutch residents can be annulled.
Worth tens of billions of dollars now, Putin was so poor growing up that his family and several others shared a stove in the hallway of their apartment building—and an unheated bathroom. Via biographer @mashagessen #weekendreading
In 1996, Putin’s mentor was running for re-election. Another man was named to run his campaign—but the man left after assassination attempts involving sulfuric acid (failed) & bullets (he was wounded but survived). Then Putin, behind crooked deals, got the job. Via @mashagessen
Putin’s dissertation appeared to be “16 pages of text and no fewer than 6 charts taken verbatim from an American textbook. Putin never acknowledged the plagiarism charges.” Via @mashagessen
तो दीड वर्षांचा असताना त्याच्या आईने आणखी एका मुलाला जन्म दिला, दुर्दैवाने तो तीनच महिन्यांत गेला. त्यानंतर दोन वर्षांनी त्याला एक बहीण मिळाली; पण तीसुद्धा चार महिन्यांत गेली. पुढे अडीच वर्षांनंतर त्याच्या आईने चौथ्या मुलाला जन्म दिला; पण वर्ष होण्याच्या आत तेसुद्धा देवाघरी गेले.
भावंडांशी खेळण्याच्या वयात त्याने एकापाठोपाठ एक तीन भावंडं गमावली. त्या वेळी तोही लहान असल्याने त्यांचं जाणं त्याला समजण्याच्या पलीकडे होतं. त्यात घरातलं दु:खी वातावरण, ताण, आईचं रडणं यांमुळे तो जास्तच एकटा पडला आणि चिडचिडा झाला. यातून हळूहळू तो खूप हट्टी झाला.
तो तीन वर्षांचा होईपर्यंत बोलत नव्हता. अगदी क्वचित एखादं अक्षर उच्चारायचा. त्यामुळे ‘आपला एकुलता एक मुलगा मुका तर नाही ना’ अशी भीती त्याच्या आईला वाटायला लागली होती. म्हणून त्याच्या आईच्या वडिलांनी त्याला अक्षरं शिकवायचं ठरवलं. त्यासाठी ‘अक्षर अभ्यासम’ हा विधी करावा लागणार होता.

1. If you function only in an environment of certainty & security, like being in a secure relationship or secure job, then trading is not for you.
2. If you are an intellectual who rarely admits to being wrong, then trading is not for you, as the markets have a regular tendency to belittle you and make you wrong.
1 How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities? How did we come to believe in gods, nations & human rights; to trust money, books & laws; & to be enslaved by bureaucracy, consumerism & pursuit of happiness?
2 ABOUT 13.5 BILLION YEARS ago, matter, energy, time and space came into being in what is known as the Big Bang. The story of these fundamental features of our universe is called physics.

1 The word “statistics” is derived from the Latin status, which led to the Italian word statista, first used in the 16th century, referring to a statist or statesman – someone concerned with matters of the state.
2 It was the Scottish landowner and first president of the Board of Agriculture, Sir John Sinclair (1754–1834), who introduced the word “statistics” into the English language in 1798 in his Statistical Account of Scotland.

1. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement. Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.
2 If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.
Back to weekend reading after another long break and restarting with Atomic Habits by @JamesClear this week.

1 Skin in the Game is about four topics in one: a) uncertainty and the reliability of knowledge (both practical and scientific, assuming there is a difference), or in less polite words bull***t detection, b) symmetry in human affairs, that is, fairness, justice, responsibility...
2 ...and reciprocity, c) information sharing in transactions, and d) rationality in complex systems and in the real world. That these four cannot be disentangled is something that is obvious when one has…skin in the game.

Working memory—like a juggler who can keep only four items in the air.
Long-term memory—like a storage warehouse that can hold large amounts of material, but needs to be revisited occasionally to keep the memories accessible.

1 Surprisingly, your brain can also work on a problem even while you are sleeping and are not aware of anything. But it does this only if you concentrate on trying to solve the problem before falling asleep.
2 Students most commonly use the strategy of repeated reading—simply reading through notes over & over. We & other researchers have found that this passive & shallow strategy often produces minimal or no learning. We call this “labor in vain”.
