A license is a number. A halo is a costume
A crypto license, in this classroom, is a public authorization a named shop issued to a named firm to do named things. You can usually type the firm into that shop’s own register without a minder. If you cannot, you do not have a license. You have a claim.
Next time you open this lesson
We’ll open this slide when you come back. This device remembers it.
Keys move the deck. N next, P previous. Ours. Not PowerPoint.
Swipe the deck. Hold Previous for slide one. A vertical swipe still scrolls the page.

“Regulated,” “compliant,” “VASP registered,” “MiCA ready,” a flag in the footer, a PDF with a crest — those can be true, stale, or fake. The adult move is: which shop, which number, which services, which country the customer actually sits in. A crest is not a number.
This desk is paper. We are not a VASP, not a CASP, not an MSB, not an exchange. Live activity sits with a licensed shop in a place you actually live. We will not hop KYC. We will not tell you where to incorporate so a cop cannot see you. That sentence is the start of a problem we will not join.
Human: if the pitch needs you to be impressed before you can check, you already have the answer. Check, or walk. Looking is allowed. Look. Do not buy. Not a lawyer.
Say it back below. Then the next lesson opens. If you leave the page, we will ask to save your spot.
