    <br> Of 1,000 respondents between the ages of eighteen and forty, almost 70% falsely assumed cryptocurrencies were regulated, 75% of younger crypto investors claimed to be driven by competition with friends and family, 58% said that social media enticed them to make high risk investments. The criticisms include the lack of stability in their price, the high energy consumption, high and variable transactions costs, the poor security and fraud at cryptocurrency exchanges, vulnerability to debasement (from forking), and the influence of miners. By November 2018, Bitcoin was estimated to have an annual energy consumption of 45.8TWh, generating 22.0 to 22.9 million tons of CO2, rivalling nations like Jordan and Sri Lanka. The Bank for International Settlements summarized several criticisms of cryptocurrencies in Chapter V of their 2018 annual report. A 2019 report by Bitwise Asset Management claimed that 95% of all Bitcoin trading volume reported on major website CoinMarketCap had been artificially generated, and of 81 exchanges studied, only 10 provided legitimate volume figures. According to researcher Flipside Crypto, less than 2% of anonymous accounts control 95% of all available Bitcoin supply. Those with unverified accounts are allowed basic access to the Binance site: they can explore our offerings, claim NFTs, Fan Tokens, and Gift Cards, but under no circumstances can they interact with any of Binance trading products.<br>
    <br> At Binance, we review our products and services on an ongoing basis to determine changes and improvements in light of evolving global compliance standards. Many banks do not offer virtual currency services themselves and can refuse to do business with virtual currency companies. In October 2021, financial services company Mastercard announced it is working with digital asset manager Bakkt on a platform that would allow any bank or merchant on the Mastercard network to offer cryptocurrency services. Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis concluded that illicit activities like cybercrime, money laundering and terrorism financing made up only 0.15% of all crypto transactions conducted in 2021, representing a total of $14 billion. In 2021, those exchanges received 47% of funds sent by crime linked addresses. According to Bloomberg and the New York Times, Federation Tower, a two skyscraper complex in the heart of Moscow City, is home to many cryptocurrency businesses under suspicion of facilitating extensive money laundering, including accepting illicit cryptocurrency funds obtained through scams, darknet markets, and ransomware.<br>
    <br> As the first big Wall Street bank to embrace cryptocurrencies, Morgan Stanley announced on 17 March 2021 that they will be offering access to Bitcoin funds for their wealthy clients through three funds which enable Bitcoin ownership for investors with an aggressive risk tolerance. Roger Lowenstein, author of “Bank of America: The Epic Struggle to Create the Federal Reserve,” says in a New York Times story that FTX will face over $8 billion in claims. Dark money has also been flowing into Russia through a dark web marketplace called Hydra, which is powered by cryptocurrency, and enjoyed more than $1 billion in sales in 2020, according to Chainalysis. In 2019, more than a billion dollars worth of cryptoassets was reported stolen. A 2020 EU report found that users had lost crypto-assets worth hundreds of millions of US dollars in security breaches at exchanges and storage providers. The investment in the required technology is substantial, often costing thousands of dollars. Though Ford replaced pistons by the thousands to ease owner worries, the engine difficulties hurt sales. Ford would be number one again for 1970 and ’71 at slightly over two-million cars to Chevy’s 1.5/1.8 million. Fewer than one in 10 potential cryptocurrency buyers were aware of consumer warnings on the FCA website, and 12% of crypto users were not aware that their holdings were not protected by statutory compensation.<br>
    <br> The FCA recommends making use of its warning list, which flags unauthorized financial firms. The original Silk Road was shut down in October 2013 and there have been two more versions in use since then. Just as there is no stopping Bitcoin miners, the user base likewise appears to be relentlessly expanding. It is even worse for Bitcoin miners, with 0.01% controlling 50% of the capacity. According to the UK 2020 national risk assessment-a comprehensive assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing risk in the UK-the risk of using cryptoassets such as Bitcoin for money laundering and terrorism financing is assessed as “medium” (from “low” in the previous 2017 report). According to a 2020 report produced by the United States Attorney General’s Cyber-Digital Task Force, the following three categories make up the majority of illicit cryptocurrency uses: “(1) financial transactions associated with the commission of crimes; (2) money laundering and the shielding of legitimate activity from tax, reporting, or other legal requirements; or (3) crimes, such as theft, directly implicating the cryptocurrency marketplace itself.” The report concludes that “for cryptocurrency to realize its truly transformative potential, it is imperative that these risks be addressed” and that “the government has legal and regulatory tools available at its disposal to confront the threats posed by cryptocurrency’s illicit uses”.<br>
