This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use #blockchains or #cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the #social experience (through #tokens, crypto #trading, #NFTs, etc.).

But taking #money from this swamp is OK? What's the color of money 💵 - don't tell me that it is green cause I know it's red. Dancing with the devil won't change the devil but you.

Crypto payments explosion in South Africa as Zapper is now supported as a payment system

Outline of the borders of South Africa, with the centre filled in with the colours of the SA flag. To the left side is seen a blank outline of a smartphone, with various images of coins which have logos like Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.
Cryptocurrency exchanges Luno and VALR have recently expanded the platforms their payment systems support, increasing the number of South African merchants where users can pay with digital assets.

Luno said its customers can now transact using crypto at 31,000 merchants nationwide thanks to a partnership with Zapper.

Thanks to its integration with Zapper, Luno said its customer base can make payments to vendors such as FlySafair, fuel stations, and educational institutions.

This will certainly make it a lot easier for those with Bitcoin to use it for daily transactions in South Africa. I’ve bought groceries with mine at Pick ‘n Pay last year, but it required a special wallet to be used. This looks a lot more versatile and mainstream.

But I’ve ditched most of my cryptocurrency as I have no clue how it gets managed when it comes to declaring capital gains to SARS. With my other investments it is fairly easy as the institution sends the reports at the end of the year. But how does one fathom this out from Bitcoin in, Bitcoin transferred, Bitcoin used, etc on a going basis? Bitcoin values vary daily, and this is not such an issue with static cash/credit.

So I’m rather waiting to see how it all pans out from a tax perspective.

"Kalshi, a US-regulated prediction market platform, won its federal lawsuit against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over a plan to offer contracts on which party will control each house of Congress after the November election."

"Although the CFTC could appeal, Kalshi, which had been locked out of this year's election betting boom while the case was pending, can now grab a sliver of that action in the last two months before the election."

The political prediction market has been dominated by Polymarket.

Kalshi cleared to offer congressional prediction markets in victory against CFTC
