161  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If a friend ows you 0.1 Btc from Dec 2016 ... on: January 30, 2018, 09:14:07 PM
...he is still owing you 0.1 BTC. The lending has been done in BTC and in BTC it must be returned. Unless specified otherwise. If the friend was in need of cash, why would the lending not have happened in FIAT?

I have heard that Danmark is so friendly towards Bitcoin that you don't have to pay any taxes if you are earning FIAT by selling Bitcoins.... Could someone confirm it?

So the people that ordered 100k worth of miners from Bitmain. Will they need to report that if they paid in BCH and Bitmain is in China?

This is an interesting question, which opens up the debate if you have to declare each currency that you eventually sell for cash.

Well, since Bitcoin has become a speculative asset of course it can be of some use there, since it allows you to increase your weatlh by magic. But if Bitcoin would just be a stable currency, it wouldn't add so much to the 3rd world's people condition.
165  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Oh crap! What happened to bitcoins? on: January 29, 2018, 03:14:57 PM
SURPRISE! The price of Bitcoin can move in both directions!
Now perhaps you can start to understand the meaning of the work "market".

Where did this story happen? I have read in the news that somewhere in Siberia some gypsies have been spottet selling material Bitcoins outside of commercial centers for 17$ each. So this couple has clearly over-paid it.
Here you have the full story:

Okay...so I have a funny Bitcoin story for you which I heard from a friend.

A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently. They were happy beyond what can be described in words at the good deal they had got. So they got in touch with my friend to ask him about how they could sell it. He sent them the links to various medium articles and blogposts on how to buy and sell bitcoin. The couple got in touch with him again and told him that they had failed to sell the bitcoin. So my friend went and met them. They then "showed" him their bitcoin. It was a plastic coin with the Bitcoin symbol on it!

Yes, I think that Laszlo will receive donations on that wallet for the rest of the life of Bitcoin, just like people do donations in the memory of the saints. Don't get me wrong: Laszlo has absolutely no merits. Nor guilt for having spent all his Bitcoins when they had no value. Merit and guilt are all just in our imagination. But Laszlo happened to be the focus of one of the first narratives in Bitcoin's history, and this made him an archetype, a mythological character everybody in the community will keep talking about generation after generation.
Not too bad anyway - huh?
169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin holder's dilemma on: January 29, 2018, 02:46:43 PM
I understand your dilemma because it is also mine. My answer is that it very much depends how important would be for you the FIAT sum that you would get by selling. And if you are nor sure you can always decide to sell half - or less, to balance the risk.
170  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin Really End World Poverty? on: January 29, 2018, 02:28:19 PM
There is no chance it will ever do that. But we can't rule out that one day this could be partially achieved with some still to come other cryptocurrency.
171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin tips: Bullish and Bearish Flags on: January 29, 2018, 02:24:18 PM
That's a nice way to give an useful information for anyone willing to start trading. The fact that a price is moving in a channel in one direction could trick you into believing that this is the trend while the flag pattern is indicating the opposite.
172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My advice to Bitcoin newbies: relax on: January 29, 2018, 11:39:35 AM
To study history has always been the best way to understand the present and foresee the future.
Newcomers should first give a look at the history of Bitcoin to understand how volatile it has always been.
173  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You can actually buy a lot of things with Bitcoin on: January 29, 2018, 11:38:07 AM
Can you provide a link where Microsoft and Dell are allowing you to pay for their services/products in Bitcoins? I am not aware of this haveng happened yet.
174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Miss Bitcoin on: January 29, 2018, 11:36:32 AM
You should learn English to properly formulate your threads. I thought this would be a thread dedicated to a beauty contest where you would elect Miss Bitcoin. Which by the way would have been an original thread at least.
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should government consider bitcoin as a legal global currency? on: January 29, 2018, 11:34:58 AM
Japan already made bitcoin a legal currency. Would you consider your countries to also pass a law recognizing bitcoin as a legal form of currency?

I am not aware of it. To which extent has Japan "legalized" Bitcoin? Which are the exact implications of that in Japan?
176  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How did you first hear about bitcoin? on: January 29, 2018, 11:31:52 AM
I have read about Bitcoin the first time on a nerd online magazine, in an article where Bitcoin was praised for the originality of its mechanism, but the article ended with the skeptical remark that anyway the coin had close to no value, you could buy thousands for less than one dollar...

178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I sell my airdropped tokens quickly or hold on to them? on: January 14, 2018, 12:08:48 AM
I didn't sell any of the airdropped coins yet, due to laziness more that anything else. Shitcoins soon drop, but with other ones I have later experienced some nice surprise. You have to evaluate it there is a project behing the airdrop or if the only project is some quick bucks for the devs.
179  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Extracting Bitcoin Gold from 2FA & Multisig Electrum Wallet on: January 14, 2018, 12:04:43 AM
Does the same procedure work also for extracting Bitcoin Cash from a Multisig Electrum Wallet? I still have them sitting there since all usual procedures didn't work...
180  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency Exchange Taking New Members on: January 13, 2018, 11:23:50 PM
Check out Kucoin. Works very well, fast deposits and no lag.

The only possible hazard with Kucoin is that it is in Hong Kong - China and allegedly the government there could be cracking down on cryptos - I hope this would not result in problems for Kucoin.
