As i promised before, will celebrate 700$ with a new dinosaur.

Cool - new dinosaur!

If we go into the 7's I think it would be appropriate...

evil kneivel was a crap toy.  broke right away.

Coinfloor exchange is now accepting UK Fast Payments for deposits - the first UK exchange to do so!

so sameday deposits.  Grin

You are lucky. Here in France, bitcoin-central is slow. The quickest exchange i know is kraken: 24/48h to get a sepa deposit registered on it.

Actually I have been using Speedy Bitcoin for a while and that is instant and has been for ages.

They're UK based and BTC in your account within minutes.  Been very handy in sudden moves - there is a fee - but in that "Shit! No way of buying but look at the price" moment - it has been invaluable.

Bitcoin always comes back to 666 ; only a dinosaur can move it away from that price

Sub $200? not plausible -for me, even if we go sub 530 I am buying.... Sub 500 and 'sorry granny - but you're for sale'.

Getting old Fonzie.




Don't worry about the fonz, he's kiddin', he loves BTC!!




A kilo of FUD is a kilo of love?

You have changed my perspective, I forgive Fonzie.

The best growth is a stable 0.5-2.0% per month I would think. A huge climb will shun people as much as a huge dip.

about 26% yearly growth, then? So far it's been rather a lot higher than that.

Yes it is, as a startup we had huge growth. Helped bitcoin get known to the public. I think we've (allmost) come to the point where bitcoin needs to proof it can be a trustworhy currency and a valuable asset.

Sorry - but Bitcoin doesn't give a shit Smiley

And huge growth will bring more money to market.  Stability is a fair way off with such a relatively small market cap.

I did look into it - I was being paid at my British bank, but I was living in NYC.

I was not involved with the US tax system at all - as I was merely working for a UK company representing them in the USA, but paid back 'home' - which is why I looked into it.  I was having to go back to the UK to not look like I was resident.

However the tax system got much more expensive if I went full on and got US residential status, as 'all' your income was taxable from wherever you earned it and in some cases, even if you had already been taxed upon it, IIRC.


Yep, it would get more complicated. Though likely you would have only been taxed in the US and not in the UK. That may or may not have been beneficial.

Yep - it was complicated.  Right now I feel I pay plenty of tax and one reason I put money in BTC was to do something with my spare cash.  I figured a bunch of BTC would be under the radar, but that was a fair while back now and 'under the radar' is hardly how you would describe our favorite subject.

I guess it shows how far we have come. I doubt my accountant will not have heard of Bitcoin by the time I have to work out how I declare it and ask him to help me out with what I need to pay up from it.

I am not certain, but I thought US citizenship meant you were expected to pay tax on all your worldwide income, whereas many other countries just tax you for what you earn in their own country if you are a citizen.

I lived in the US but didn't get a green card (g/f offered to help) because of likely tax implications - but this was a fair while back.

This might account for the renunciations (just the very rich!)



Note that the green card is not the same as citizenship. And you would likely still have been liable to the same laws as a non-permanent resident as a permanent one.

If you're in the UK:

AKAIK they'd make you choose, depending on where you are living. If you wanted to stay, you would have to swap your US passport for a South African one and if you lived in the US, you'd need to apply for a visa to visit and citizenship if you wanted to stay; they'd grant you citizenship if you decided to stay, but once again you'd have to give up your US passport/citizenship. Basically we can only hold one passport at a time, although I do have friends who've gotten around this because this country is so screwed up sometimes, but my wife is German and it's taken 4 years and they still haven't managed to process her application. Once she finally gets her application filed, she'll be able to get a South African passport (and national identity number which allows you to open a bank account), but she has to hand her German one in, she basically has to leave and re-enter the country on the same passport, although she can travel around Europe on her German ID card.

Dual citizenship used to be allowed here in the past, but it was stopped some years ago, not exactly sure when.

Yes. But if your mother returned home soon after you were born, you would surely receive a citizenship from that country. Yet you would still be an American citizen by US laws.

I am not certain, but I thought US citizenship meant you were expected to pay tax on all your worldwide income, whereas many other countries just tax you for what you earn in their own country if you are a citizen.

What i miss? Oh we're still at 666 ok going back to sleep

I prefer to think of it as "the 665-667 range".

 Grin

We're currently at "Neighbour of the Beast".

No - surely the neighbour of the Beast is 668, or 664.

eBay announced to accept Bitcoin so many times
nothing happened

just another pump

I think that interview was pretty stunning - this is the CEO of a major global US corporate, whose business is all about buying and selling goods around the world.

Saying what he did about Bitcoin (and even that he OWNED some) was pretty bullish news.

If nothing else it means the established major players are looking to join in, not just ignore...

U.S. Treasury
European Central Bank
Internal Revenue Service
U.S. Sec
National Security Agency

Seems all these agencies have freshly joined us on the forum at the same time.  I note the coordinated approach, I look forward to some valuable posts.

Or are they / him picking up post counts elsewhere on other threads now?

I think we will see an increasing number of valuable posters, it's wonderful we now let people post immediately they join and have no glowing ignore button, makes it so much easier to make new friends.



The sarcasm is strong with this one  Cheesy

Sarcasm? Moi...?  Wink

Someone quoted the price forecast for BTC on http://www.cryptocoinstats.com/priceforecaster.php

I note that under the BTC price prediction is DRK's 1 year prediction.

Darkcoin    1 Year prediction:   $23,139,965,602,552.5156

Reliable stuff Wink
