Sensible would be good enough. Anyone would look at how it works in the US and immediately call it out for being insanely unwieldy and encouraging people to try to dodge it. There should be some pragmatism applied.

I would say you are being societiest rather than racist.

Much cooler.

It won't of course. It would be wonderful if it did.

If there's to be another explosion this will definitely be the last one where I'm near all in. It's just too goddamn dull to sit through another cycle of ruin. I want to be at least a semi impartial observer in future.

There's got to be a time when it does start to level off more, and of course it did this time compared to 2013 but it was still 83% down. I don't think this cycle will be the one to reach that phase but I hope at least it'll be a bit less violent in both directions.

The US rules are flat out bonkers. I didn't realise it was from dollar one until it was pointed out to me. I can't believe any sensibly operated country would run like that. In the UK you have a tax free allowance up to a certain figure. At the very least there should be something similar there.

And they'll say equally uncomplimentary things about white devils, but if we sit down and start talking like individuals we'll find we're all rather lovely and not responsible for the gross societies we find ourselves marooned in. The chicks are mental though.

And don't order the tortured bat if they invite you out.

Have we been paid a beer again? This week's payout is higher than it should be.

I'm pretty sure I already owned some before turning up here but I would've missed out on many an alt if I didn't turn up. Maybe that's a good thing. Not sure.

It's interesting seeing how many people have never turned up here. I quite often see people elsewhere on crypto sites mention they've never been here. I couldn't imagine having that little engagement or curiosity.

It goes deeper than that.

I think they know they'll be nothing without bitcoin but also know it's forever beyond their control.

That must stick in his corporate craw.

I don't know what that is but I just added one.

And this is how Granny receives her morning tea from now on.



Can't be too careful.

I've done my shopping for the week. Anyone who turns up at the door from now on gets welcomed thusly.

Sense.

If this is to keep a roof over OP's head or pay for life saving surgery you'd be a moron to risk it. If it's for a cost that can be deferred or avoided completely then that's a different matter.

It varies from country to country but the IRS in America has contacted exchanges asking for user details and the British equivalent will soon as well.

You may well be fine not disclosing anything but there's no telling what the future holds. One day there might be software that links you to everything you've ever done in cryptoland in less than a second and spits out a bill.

If a fall in the price by then means you can't meet the expense and this is a totally necessary expense then it's an absolute no brainer. Get rid right now. Hope does not pay the bills.

A forum filled with spam running a sig campaign that'll increase spam. And maybe the sig campaign will advertise a sig campaign.

My head is starting to spin.

I have to post this again.

I still stick with Satoshi's prediction of volume in future either being vast or zero.

By 2040, let alone 2060, $100,000 will seem like a laughable figure.

That's either because Bitcoin has been dead for decades and is now purely a fascinating part of history, or because that price will seem like chump change compared to what it really is.

I see no middle ground.

When I've raised this possibility people have often come back saying mixers should not 'judge' which i think is total balls.

You can be a privacy believer and facilitator and not be a fan of enabling thieves to operate and escape. If I ran one any directly traceable stolen funds would be going straight back along with instructions as to where to ram their monies.

Anyone thinking of trying to game this forum stands a high chance of being hammered. And sometimes it can happen years down the line like the slews of older accounts suddenly being wiped out for plagarism that took place years before.

There are people out there who are very vigilant, very sharp and very committed to nailing anyone they unearth and they seem be getting better at it. I think they go ludicrously overboard sometimes but they have the interests of keeping this place scum free at heart.

The chances are extremely high that they're considerably better at uncovering you than you are at staying covered. And it only takes one slip.

I myself mainly complain about my haemorrhoids, crap holidays and prostate the size of a basketball yet still pick up the odd merit without having to resort to subterfuge.

Being yourself ultimately produces much better and much more sustainable results and as a double bonus it's likely a shit ton less effort too.

I've burnt everything the tax man has ever sent me unopened so wouldn't have a clue, but I've never heard of anyone talking about something like that. If it were that easy everyone would be saying their bank account caught fire when it was time the pay the tax bill.

The tax man don't give a shit you don't have the money now. It's your responsibility to have kept it back.

What type of freak decides that's a topic vital to this forum AND decides to plagarise it too?

The only thing that'll make it happen is demand outstripping supply along with the gift/curse of market cap.

I can guarantee you that most of the people who make it happen won't care about hard money, government meddling or cross border freedom. They'll be after more dollars and nothing else.

It's conceivable it could happen in the next couple of years. If it does I really hope it attempts to stick somewhere around that level but we all know it won't. Plan accordingly.
