3061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will this cause France to get into Bitcoin - 75% Tax on Rich on: December 31, 2013, 01:43:50 AM
Weird the tax isn't an income tax, it is a penalty tax on the companies which pay its employees "too much".  The company pays a 75% tax on the salaries which exceed 1M EUR per year.  So company pays you 1M EUR, company coughs up 750K EUR to the government.   Company cuts your salary to 999,999 EUR company pays no tax (well no extra millionaire taxes).  I have a feeling many companies will simply cut salaries which are near the 1M mark and offer some form of deferred compensation.



wtf, it's not progressive? that's ridiculous then.

not close to making me cry.. but it is good to see good videos coming from russia. most of what we see are dashcams or nihilistic thugs beating people down.

it's inevitable, but the more merchants that begin to accept bitcoin.. the more the government will monitor it. once it gets so big, big brother might change his mind and decide to regulate BTC a lot more than it currently is. it's inevitable though, so i'm not against it. it will have to happen if bitcoin wants to expand.

what? they custom assemble laptops for you? that would cost quite a bit, and each laptop chassis is designed uniquely.

Yeah you're right... nobody knows what the future of bitcoin will look like. I think however that only small percentage of the world population has bitcoin

sure, but if bitcoin fizzles out some time next year, then it won't matter what % is adopted right now.
3066  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are we still in the early adopter stage of Bitcoin? on: December 30, 2013, 11:17:09 PM
depends on where bitcoin will go in the future, and no one has the answer for that. most likely we are in the late early stage.
3067  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: POLL: In what case will you be taxed on your bitcoin profits? on: December 30, 2013, 11:15:08 PM
Every time you sell coins for fiat it's a taxable event. Doesn't matter if the money stays on exchange or is re-invested or not.

Pretty sure under normal circumstances in the US we don't have to pay any tax on our net worth or anything like that. It's only when you earn money by working or by selling something for more than you paid.

But don't take my word for it. I'm just a random guy on the internet.  Smiley

P.S. I didn't vote.

but the question is how to define "sell"? what if i used my bitcoins to purchase $1000 in gift cards? does that mean i sold my BTC? i'd think the more correct term would be exchange your bitcoins for fiat.
3068  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will this cause France to get into Bitcoin - 75% Tax on Rich on: December 30, 2013, 11:09:14 PM
75% is a bit exorbitant.. they are just doing to drive out money from the country. does france still have mandatory 35 hour workweeks? seems like they're too busy eating baguettes and drinking coffee (you know, to get cultured and all).

this is impossible. russians are psychotic nihilists.. why would they help anyone? they rather defeat you and rape your family.

what are you even using it for? mining? browsing porn? where will be you be using it? at home, on the toilet? school? work?

you need to give a lot more information when asking for recommendations.

don't know if i will shop with them, but i'll make an effort to.

most of you are being WAY too nice to OP. half of the world population lives in extreme poverty, scrounging for their next meal, and this kid went to college (probably paid for by his parents) and is too lazy to go get a job (anyone who REALLY wants a job could find one in a single day) so he sits in his parents' basement on his modern computer eating Doritos and throwing woe-is-me pity parties for himself on bitcointalk.org and hoping suckers will "giveBTCpls".

look kid, it sounds like you have 2 main problems. 1, you're the embodiment of the "entitlement generation" and think you're somehow special and shouldn't have to work for anything. 2, no one has ever told you what a little pantywaist you sound like, your parents probably tell you everything is ok and you can live with them until you can all collect social security together, and the online communities you hang out in just reinforce your victim mentality.

you want money? figure out how to EARN some. heck, write a witty post on bitcointalk.org and maybe one of those people who got rich from their good foresight on Bitcoin will donate a BTC to your tip jar. meanwhile there will be thousands of children dying of cancer who WISH they had your opportunity.

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." - Mark Twain

not me. being nice to someone whose maturity is handicapped is just dangerous. it reinforces the wrong attitude and he'll just end up thinking like the crackbaby he is.

shitting and sex are the two most worldly pleasures.. what about taking a dump on someone? that would be combining both.

be careful of the terrorists.. apparently there are quite a few over there that want another apartheid. they're all unemployed so what else to do?
3076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does It Make Any Sense for Overstock.com to Accept Bitcoin? on: December 30, 2013, 03:10:31 AM
even though they have not yet started to accept BTC, can you imagine the additional website hits they got from just going public with this? if i wanted more people to see my company, i'd just announce that i'd be accepting BTC.. and if i didn't want to, i'll have a change of plans at the last minute.
3077  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoins ruined my life on: December 30, 2013, 03:09:27 AM
Money is proof of ones achievements. It doesn't make a good person if you're rich, just shows you have provided service/value to achieve wealth. You make your own luck.  

yeah, and we live in a fair society where as long as you work hard, you'll become wealthy. right. you must be living on another planet.

3080  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do when the Bitcoin ecosystem SHRINKS? on: December 30, 2013, 01:02:04 AM
since litecoin doesn't offer anything drastically different from BTC, then it would go down along with it.
