Binance.US cuts third of staff as CEO Brian Shroder leaves (https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-us-cuts-third-of-staff-ceo-brian-shroder-leaves-report)
Binance.US, the United States arm of the crypto exchange, has cut around a third of its staff — or 100 positions — with its president and CEO Brian Shroder also departing the firm.
Binance.US Statment to CoinTelegraph:
“The [Securities and Exchange Commission’s] aggressive attempts to cripple our industry and the resulting impacts on our business have real-world consequences for American jobs and innovation, and this is an unfortunate example of that.”
They also say "not dead yet!"
“more than seven years of financial runway” amid its move to becoming a crypto-only exchange.

Economics
Is an introduction to U.S. debt collection (https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/the-waste-stream-of-consumer-finance/) economics? It's certainly historical, and it speaks to the fragility of legacy financial agreements when compared to the on chain assurances of bitcoin

Happy 100 episodes! Glad to have been taking my journey with this pod to help me out. With having a seedsigner, how would i go about using a samourai to mix to cold storage? currently, just going direct from my node on chain to cold storage, but, starting to rethink that!

While we're on decent Aussie exchanges I like to use PayBTC. You give them your address, send them fiat and then it appears. They only custody it for the 5 seconds it takes to verify payment. Super simple, no logins, minimal KYC.
