Bitcoin news and bitcoin regulation update. Today I cover FinCEN withdrawing its crypto mixing rule and self-hosted wallet proposal, a congressional bill targeting candidates who trade prediction markets on their own elections, and a 4chan Bitcoin cycle prediction calling October 5 the bottom. I also get into Bitcoin merchant adoption in Indiana, India’s removal of Jack Dorsey’s Bitchat, and a Claude privacy case involving human review and law enforcement.Topics for today:Candidates Betting Their Own ElectionsFinCEN Drops Crypto Mixing Rule4chan Calls Bitcoin BottomBitchat Removed in India200 Indiana Bitcoin MerchantsClaude Diary Triggers Police ReportToday’s Articles and Links:Don Davis Bill Would Fine Candidates $10K for Trading on Their Own Electionshttps://decrypt.co/380147/don-davis-bill-would-fine-candidates-10k-for-trading-on-their-own-electionsTreasury Withdraws Crypto Mixing Rule and Self-Hosted Wallet Proposalhttps://www.theblock.co/news/regulation/2026-10-05-fincen-drops-crypto-mixing-rule-self-hosted-wallet-proposal-417690Why a 4chan Bitcoin Prophecy Says Today Is the End of Crypto Winterhttps://decrypt.co/380113/4chan-bitcoin-prophecy-end-crypto-winterJack Dorsey Says MeitY Demand Led Apple To Remove Bitchat From India App Storehttps://newscord.org/article/jack-dorsey-says-meity-demand-led-apple-to-remove-bitchat-from-india-app-store--Story_20261003_JackDorseysBitchatdi70aef21eNow Accepting Bitcoin: Buy Coffee and Bacon Across 200 Indiana Bitcoin Merchantshttps://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/indiana-bitcoin-200-merchantsA Florida Woman Used Claude as a Diary.
