Jack Dorsey decided to bring simplicity to crypto wallet usage. Thus, he cooperated with digital payments firm Square. They created a witty word for it “assisted-self-custody”, and later explained that it’s just a user-friendly hardware wallet.

Flipsider:

• Well, give a dog a bad name and then hang him. Oops, it once happened with Elon Musk. Anyways, if Jack Dorsey is able to reinvent the wheel – good luck.

European Union to Propose New Body: Money Laundering Regulator With Stricter Crypto Reporting Requirements

The EU authorities are preparing a new entity for money laundering regulation. Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA) will be a supervisory system including national regulators as well. The increased attention to this topic happened for several reasons and crypto is one among them.

Flipsider:

Do you remember uncle Bill warning about SPACs? For sure, Circle is not a brand-new company that going public. However, is the risk worth taking?

Steve Wozniak Repeated Once Again He Likes Bitcoin

• On the Jalisco Talent Land Digital 2021, a co-founder of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) compared Bitcoin and gold again. Also, he called the crypto “the most amazing mathematical miracle”. This is not the first time when praises Bitcoin. Nevertheless, he claimed not to have any bitcoin in his wallet.

Flipsider:

• If a famous person praises Bitcoin but claims not to have any crypto, it’s baloney. Not a rule of thumb, but definitely a common tendency.
