Some of your neighbor countries are worse in this respect, though.
Trust me 


Seeking for a gap between Soundgarden and the Foo Fighters.
The guitar solo is sooo hollywood, but i didn't find nothing really bad in this track.
Would add nicely to any soundtrack of a car racing video game, imho.

I´ve seen this on Twitter but at 100k and Newsletter.

I read the comments section about Bitcoin of German newspapers for years. For years people say the exact same crap. And watch how the value goes up and up and up... Germans are really the last people on this planet in terms of waking up. They fucking love their government like no other folks. Its sad and scaring. The absolute sheeps. What did Lenin say once:"Revolution in Germany? That will never work, if these Germans want to storm a train station, they buy a train ticket first!"

Btw. I am from Germany.

Is it just me or is bitcoinity borked?

I'll see your Robert Mercer and raise you a George Soros.

Plenty of people in the United Kingdom supported Brexit. Most / plenty were never influenced by any outside source for wanting to step outside of the EU simply because of the fact the United Kingdom was never under German control during the second world war. Many people in the UK hardly saw the benefit of the EU as some type of protector in the division that caused two world wars. The UK never wanted the Euro thus any further proposed fiscal unification was only seen as a threat and loss of control.

Add in the exodus from half of Syria (supposedly, there were many from different nations who took advantage) to Europe starting in 2015 and the Brexit vote was pretty much sealed when that was going on.
It was easy to make some money in the UK on the Brexit vote betting via bookmakers as it was about 10 to 1 for leave!

Robert Mercer was never needed to do a damn thing.
Nigel Farage never managed to get himself elected as a member of parliament. His influence, yes it was there as a barking dog in the EU parliament, was hardly needed to sway anyone.
In addition, you only have to go back 10 years before the Brexit vote and find out that in fact the Liberal Democrats wanted an in out referendum as well. Nothing to do with Robert Mercer or Nigel Farage.

This is (correction: was) JP Morgan's Blockchain Chief Executive.

Try not to laugh.

This waifish millennial couldn't "blockchain" her way out of a paper bag.

No wonder JP Morgan is going nowhere with crypto and blockchain.

You are using a lot of profanity. You were a lot softer a couple of years ago. Before your avatar picture I actually thought that you are a girl and thought on hitting on you. So, what happened in the meantime? Hit puberty and testosterone is finally doing it's thing or something?

I have never called the time for the end of bitcoin. Bitcoin will end when the governments will finally crack down on exchanges creating funny-money to pump bitcoin. As long as people ignore things like goxdollars or tether,  then there is no height high enough. One thing is certain though - the governments will crack down on fake money exchanges and greater fools will also run out eventually. Then I'd like to see the bitcoin fanatics pay for the 7billion dollar revenue to the miners, just to sustain the network. So, I have no idea when will bitcoin crash, but I know that it will crash, and it will do it with a lot of tears from people who mostly deserve whats coming.

2018 is going to be another long slog with these lizards. The bloody G20 doesn't finish till December 1st.

The commercial shorts nearly always win (aka the ESF), and since they are high right now, it signals they will drop the price a little.  But like I was saying about this FISA thing, the release of this seems VERY orchestrated and might be used as a scapegoat for some type of economic implosion as I was talking about here:

http://steemit.com/news/@r0achtheunsavory/the-r0ach-report-35-the-fisa-memo-is-likely-the-scapegoat-to-blow-up-the-economy

One of the goals of these people in entities like the ESF is to "disconnect cause and effect", which is why they made sure to implode gold during the 2008 crash when it obviously shouldn't have.  Some claim people had to liquidate their ETF & Comex contracts to cover other investments, but that's complete bullshit why the price went where it did.  Anyway, if my FISA theory is correct, they will probably attempt to do the exact same thing they did during 2008, then metals skyrocket after the dip IF they manage to force it down.  Maybe it wont dip at all this time before going up, who knows.  Supply seems too tight for them to force it low to me, unlike in 2008.  It's always possible it could be the one time where the ESF shorts get screwed and it skyrockets

If nothing comes out of this FISA stuff, that $900 platinum bottom is a REALLY REALLY hard floor, so they will have an enormously hard time screwing with metals too much.  And getting silver below $16 for any extended period of time is also too hard for them.  They could drop gold to as low as $1050 or so, but that's about it.  The downside potential on all this stuff is really small without a deflationary event that would wipe out every bank in America anyway.

As you are someone seriously into metals you gave me some sound advice back in 2015 when I was about to buy silver at $16.
You said to wait as it had a couple $ to go, I managed to buy at $14.30 not quite the bottom but near enough.
I am in EU now where buying silver attracts 20% VAT so I am about to buy some gold which is not taxed.
In your opinion is this month a good time to buy also is it better to buy in many smaller units or to go for the cheaper option of one or two large units.
Many thanks.
My apologies Roach it was Shroomskit who gave the advice on silver that the 4th quarter of 2015 would be the buy point.
But I would appreciate any input from you.

 

It's easy to tell what you should be buying.  All you really need to know is, ALL media is Jewish media.  Do you think Harry Dent actually buys all these ads?  HELL NO.  He's a shabbos goyim.  The Comex is forwarding all their contracts to London recently - that's a TECHNICAL DEFAULT.  And how could it not have happened when it's the only asset on earth not in a bubble?  The Jews want to keep people from buying physical silver or gold at all costs:

Whoever you went to see, I've never, ever heard any 'advice' along those lines. Sounds like total bilge to me. The problem with the UK is that the HMRC have basically published a few paragraphs a few years ago and now leave it to everyone else to interpret them.

This geezer - https://www.reddit.com/user/krissaroth  I think is an accountant and has written quite a bit in r/bitcoinuk. Maybe it's worth PMing him. If he himself doesn't do crypto he might know someone who does.

Lots of other threads about it in there too.

I intend to only submit transactions to and from Fiat currency.

And this '4x allowance' thing?  Not in any tax rule I have seen.

Get a second opinion, there is no real guidance yet that is this specific on crypto from HMRC.

Accountants are assuming things, but they MAY not be right.

Get yours to show you HMRC guidance specifying what you say above.  A capital gain under the limit is not reportable AFAIAC and if it is over it, it is still simply a capital gain and chargeable at 20%.

You invested X, you sold Y - you pay the difference, I reckon.  And capital gains are only taxable when cashed in IMHO. 

I am not an accountant - but I asked three, and they all gave varying advice, except that they all said you need to say what you orginally paid for the BTC you are now selling.  I realise that ain't easy - but it is possible to do most if you have exchange history.  For Gox, you cannot - but neither can they prove what you spent unless your bank statements show it.

That, I think - is if you sell your business off completely, that is to protect people retiring who have one business and want to cash out (after paying tax on the profits along the way).

If you trade cypto 'as a business' you will pay tax up to 45% on profits made.  Then you 'could' sell the business and get 'entrepeneur's relief'

So unless you have found a way my accountant and I have not - I don't think it's possible.  I wish!

Just had a meeting with my accountant today.
If your sales exceed 4 times CGT allowance ie 4X £11,100 £44,400 ye 2016 then even if your gain is under the annual allowance and no CGT is payable you still have to submit every single transaction. FFS.

Exceptions are sales reinvested same day and sales bought back up to 30 days later.
The transactions must be matched up, the paperwork involved is the stuff of nightmares.

As you say if trading is your business it's treated as income and is subject to income tax top tax rate 40% plus NI at 9% then 2% above £45k.

Yet if BTC collapsed and you wanted to offset the losses against your other capital gains, HMRC would suddenly declare BTC trading as a highly risky enterprise like gambling where no taxes are payable on wins or reliefs on losses.

Yes. PBOC waited for Bitstamp to be unavailable.

Bitstamp said if you change your DNS server to Google ( 8.8.8.8 ), it will work as a temporary solution. Have you tried that?

Best laugh I had all year!!!

23 years... =))))) ... LuLz!
