09/07/2021 Binance’s Image Crisis; Beeple on His Latest NFT Project

Binance gave more signals that it is feeling the heat from regulatory scrutiny around the world. The crypto exchange’s CEO, Changpeng Zhao, commonly known in crypto as “CZ,” published an open letter Wednesday calling for more regulation of digital currency and detailing his company’s efforts to become more compliant. 

The letter makes you wonder just how much trouble Binance is in. The big crypto exchange is said to be under investigation by U.S. authorities (though it hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing). And it seems that every day a different government is challenging whether Binance can legally operate in their country, with Thailand and even the very business-friendly Cayman Islands being the latest to raise questions about the exchange.

CZ’s appeal seems to be an effort to show regulators that Binance is mindful of the rules, but it might be too little, too late.

My Other Half | Inspired by Minecraft: The Last Minecart (2011)
Almost every year, we capture ourselves in a way that no photo or video is capable of: with a photoscan. If you dig through our archives, you'll find many of them and can see exactly how we change over time. Sam Gorski, Creator | I wanted to find the oldest scan of myself and put him side-by-side with Sam from the present. While it is hard to look at it and not miss the years past, at the same time, this gives me hope for the future by embracing and cherishing the change in my life. How would I have gotten this far without him? About This Piece | Sam on the left was captured in 2014, while Sam on the right was captured last week (2021). This work represents the personal, creative, and emotional journey in all of us, and the hope that ourselves tomorrow may be better than ourselves today.
