Interesting. Are banks treated the same way in the US? When I file my taxes, even bank accounts without a balance are pre-filled, and literally every cent is accounted for.

See that's the advantage of living in a surveillance state... you don't need to bother declaring bank balances in the US except foreign accounts, IRS probably already knows domestic ones Smiley

Banks (and e.g. PayPal/Amazon/etc) are supposed to report payment totals (like credit card receipts) above $20k. IRS gets the info, tax payer gets 1099-K or whatever the form is, however you need to pay taxes the same way regardless if you traded above or below $20k so it's a meaningless limit really.

Stock brokers report every cent and are probably pissed at Coinbase/Kraken/et al getting an exception to not do so.

This board uses the new-ish bump system: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183553.0

There is a bump link/button and also posting in a thread will bump it but only if you have earned merits. Last post date no longer matters.

That old thread was apparently bumped using the bump link.

In any case, my prediction is the same. Kraken will leave the American jursidiction to avoid the government’s abusive tactics and the complaince nightmare.

I don't think leaving the US would allow them to ignore the subpoena. In other words, even if they leave they would still need to hand over the data about past activities conducted with US citizens and residents, at which point they might as well continue doing business and continue snitching on their customers.

These guys? Awesome.



Looks like you're all set. Why do you need our money then?

I've been living with 0 money for over a month. 0 money. Fucking zero man.

Maybe if you stopped trying to scam here and did some actual work, you could have more than "0 money".

Lindell TV is just starting. It will have a bunch more as they grow - https://lindelltv.com/.

The guy that fell for a conspiracy theory and destroyed his massive pillow business.  Cool.

To be fair, conspiracy theory business might be more profitable than pillows. Just make some shit up, BADecker distributes it, pure profit.

A sample of one doesn't really mean anything, except to people who thrive on anecdotes as "evidence" for their conspiracy theories.

It's not a secret that none of the COVID-19 vaccines are 100% effective but they are effective enough to reduce the spread of the virus to the point where we can reasonably consider it under control.

I can't be bothered to read the walls of text but I'm sure I can do a pretty good tl;dr:

Lauda posts copy-pasta - not plagiarism because <walls of contrived reasons>.

Person unfavorable to nullius posts something - plagiarism because <walls of completely differently contrived reasons>.

There, I saved you all two hours of reading.

I think China saw Trump as petty, unhinged, and unstable. Joe Biden is going to make concessions because he's just there as a figure head, not there to push policy. Trump, as big as his ego was, would tweet about foreign policy if he saw China doing something he didn't like. Wasn't was productive, but Joe Biden is barely alive and isn't going to be the one to stand up to China.

You're making it sound as if Biden's gonna go and stand in Tiananmen square... unlike Trump, he likely has proper staff for doing things. All Trump did "to stand up to China" was taxing Americans with tariffs and lying that China's gonna pay for it so I doubt Biden can do much worse.

I think the broader lesson experienced was that NFT collecting can be fun.

If you have 1000 BTC - sure. In fact, having 1000 BTC would probably be fun enough, no need for NFTs.

But spending the real hard-earned ones... meh.

No disrespect absolutely, but one more question please, are you a lender or just having some spare time this Saturday to search for the tech details to prove me wrong? Any fundamentals maybe? If you're expert in this area, please do forgive my ignorance. But if not, I wonder what's your agenda?

Lenders are not in the "fundamentals" business, they are in the business of making sure you can repay the loan with interest. Since you're having trouble even moving your supposed collateral to an exchange and it had a recent massive spike, there is a good chance you're either trying to dump it here, or would walk away if the price drops.

Keep in mind that you're the one asking for money here so cut that shit about agendas. I'm not a lender but I have a decent BS detector and some lenders might find it useful or they can just ignore me and give you money anyway. Free market FTW.
3094  Economy / Lending / Re: Small loan reuired on: April 03, 2021, 07:24:01 PM
Thank you. Appreciate it. But which pump do you mean? The global crypto pump or a token-specific pump?? Can you please state any objective facts (factors) playing in favor of this conclusion of yours?

Are you serious? The token was below $10 two weeks ago and $1.50 in January. You're asking for a two-week loan and you still haven't told us how many of those tokens you have so I'm guessing ~2 based on the recent spike to $40+ and your valuation of $85.

Is is this one?

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/livepeer/

How many do you have? You should dump it before the pump ends. Given recent volatility, it's worth probably $5 at best as a collateral. Don't expect lenders to assume your bagholding risks.
3096  Economy / Lending / Re: Small loan reuired on: April 03, 2021, 02:58:20 PM
Ok, nice roundup, no argue on that points. So what is the reasonable lending amount on a $80+ mkt value? I'm afraid I will have to pay $40 for my VPS asap, so if that's reasonable, I'd get back in two weeks and cover the return TX fees.

Well, I have expensive collateral types, but not specific to this community, and no one seems accepting premium domains in here. Or did I miss someone?

Domains are certainly no good here as collateral, and you haven't said yet what your token is and how much you have so it's still unclear if that's a valid collateral either.

I really doubt you can make this work, not with current TX fees. Keep in mind that the lender would need to be able to liquidate your tokens quickly if shit goes south.
3097  Economy / Lending / Re: Small loan reuired on: April 03, 2021, 02:44:03 PM
The former would be a valid collateral, because I could provide that first and the lender would do what's best for him.

The only sane thing the lender can do is send the tokens to their own wallet and they would have to pay the TX fee out of pocket. And then another TX fee to send it back to you if you repay the loan. If you don't pay those fees then the whole thing doesn't make sense.

The latter can be possible and is different for me, because to get $10 in ETH requires me to spend $50 on commissions in-out, etc. Someone might be having some ETH in the account to do this. I would provide access to a trusted member, that is no problem.

Same here. You have to cover the fees. You are unable to do it. ERC20 roundtrip will cost $30-40 these days. You can't expect the lender to cover that on a $60 loan.
3098  Economy / Lending / Re: Small loan reuired on: April 03, 2021, 02:24:09 PM
I use MEW and I thought I could move a wallet to the lender's escrow. Another option would be providing a lender access to the wallet so that he can pay the TX fee to transfer coins to the escrow. Both are possible.

If you give the wallet to someone else, you still have the original PK/seed so that's not a valid collateral (you still have control of it). If lender has to pay TX fees to get the funds, you would have to cover that cost, so that's no different than doing it yourself.
3099  Economy / Lending / Re: Small loan reuired on: April 03, 2021, 01:58:04 PM
Now I have the tokens sitting there, but have no eth. And to fund some eth at my location I'll have to have at least $50-$70, which is irrational for me atm.

If you can't send it you won't be able to use at as a collateral. You can't just say "I have it", you have to give the collateral to the lender (or to an escrow).

It's also unclear how it "ran out of gas". The TX was either confirmed or not.

So, if the data is not lying, almost 95% of visitors from Russia lost their interest into crypto during the last 12 months

Math?

2.8m * 9.5% = 266k
4.5m * 2.5% = 113k

Just a bit over half, 58% or so, not 95%.

And it might have something to do with this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5235502.0

And the traffic source chart is clearly showing that the number of Bitcointalk residents has not change compared to the last year, the double in the overall traffic are all new comers.

I don't see how that follows from your data, nor is the traffic doubled: (4.5-2.8) / 2.8 = 61%
