Israel is preparing a new regulatory framework regarding cryptocurrencies
On August 1, Israel passed a law recommending the use of alternative digital payment methods. The law also prohibits transactions in cash and bank checks in large amounts. Information about this came from the representative of the Tax Administration of the country Tamar Bracha. The reform is aimed at combating organized crime, money laundering and tax evasion, the fiscal authorities said. Since the entry into force of the law, cash business transactions worth more than 6,000 shekels ($1,700) are prohibited. Trade between individuals will be limited to 15,000 shekels ($4,360). Anything above this limit must be processed using alternative digital payment methods. This reform is also part of the preparations for the launch of the digital shekel - Israel does not intend to lag behind the rapid development of the digital economy and loans. The crypto community finds this trend extremely favorable and positive for the digital currency. For example, popular crypto blogger Lark Davis commented on the event, saying that Israel is “not the first and not the last country to introduce such restrictions.” From Monday Israel will ban cash payments over $4,400! That means you cannot pay cash for a used car, designer bag, or any other higher ticket item. Not the first or last country to introduce such restrictions. Got #bitcoin? — he wrote.

A fraudster cop found in Brazil. Has cryptocurrency eclipsed common sense and turned into an obsession?

After that, he offered to participate together in a crypto project he created on an online platform based in the UK. Francisco de Assis Jesus de Oliveira promised to take all possible risks. However, after making several payments, he stated that the money was blocked on the platform for technical reasons.
