Madeira e le azzorre sono regioni Autonome, credo che abbiano un regime fiscale speciale anche se leggendo qua e la mi sembra che sia per le societa', zona franca di Madeira.
Onestamente prima di questa notizia ignoravo che Madeira fosse una regione autonoma, e ora apprendo che pure le Azzorre lo sono Grin Immagino che sia come per le Canarie in Spagna, però lì le tasse su bitcoin si pagano ancora.

<...>
e quindi? Non ho capito esattamente cosa proporrà Madeira. Ok, niente tasse, ma come dici tu, già il Portogallo mi pareva parecchio crypto friendly: in che modo stabilendosi a Madeira si hanno vantaggi rispetto a stare ad Oporto?
Devono rilasciare ulteriori info però pare che la grande novità sarà che riconosceranno bitcoin come valuta legale: https://watcher.guru/news/madeira-follows-el-salvador-to-accept-bitcoin-as-a-legal-tender

Discorso tasse: non è detto che la situazione nel resto del Portogallo sarà sempre la stessa perché è vero che al momento non si pagano le tasse, però è da tempo che si vocifera che qualcosa potrebbe cambiare. Ovviamente non mi riferisco che da 0% si passi al 30%, però non sono neanche così sicuro che il Portogallo continentale manterrà questo regime agevolato a lungo.

What difference would it make if someone who abandoned bitcoin came back really?No different than any other dev who ran off and left others to pick up the pieces.
We're talking about bitcoin, not any other mediocre/scammy project. Bitcoin is what it is also because Satoshi left his invention to the community and sacrificed 1mln bitcoins. If he comes back it means he could sell his coins as well, and since Satoshi alone owns almost 5% of all bitcoin supply, well, the market would panic.

It may be suitable for drug dealers and criminals and niggers, but it is not suitable for humans
Mmm so something that you can trace whenever you want and with the blockchain open to everyone, yeah, it definitely looks like the best way to hide something. I understand you're trolling, but you're not even trying to do a good job. Transactions crime related are pretty much irrelevant when you look at the numbers.
3225  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Madeira and Prospera adopting bitcoin as legal tender on: April 07, 2022, 10:22:14 PM
In the case of Madeira, which is part of Portugal and is in the Eurozone its very surprising
to hear that they seem to be acting independently of both Portugal and the European central bank.
Portugal itself is already extremely crypto-friendly, there are several people who moved to Portugal because unless you're a professional trader (or a company) you don't pay any tax on your gains. But of course what is happening is on another level. Portuguese government is pretty smart.
3226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dormant Address Containing 100 BTC Activated After 12.4 Years When BTC Was $0.08 on: April 07, 2022, 04:43:37 PM
That gain would have been even more if whoever owns that wallet decided to sell during btc ath.
Yeah of course, the only problem is how do you know when bitcoin is at ATH?  Grin

In the past I sold some other cryptos (not bitcoin) when they reach a new ATH, in a matter of weeks they did another 3-4x, so looking back everything looks easy and clear. At this point I simply sell when I'm happy with the amount of $ I'm getting for the sale, if after I sale it goes up again, well, it happens, I simply try not to think about it anymore.
3227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A new bitcoin documentary on: April 07, 2022, 03:56:28 PM
I'm pretty sure most of you here remember what happened with Canada's largest exchange QuadrigaCX and the death of its owner but for those who don't, you can read this article[1]

Netflix has been working on a documentary about this case for quite some time, and we'll finally get to see it. It's coming out on the 30th of March[2][3].

[1] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/04/quadrigacx-canada-cryptocurrency-exchange-locked-gerald-cotten
[2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW2BPQ15OSw
[3] https://www.netflix.com/title/81349029
So I watched this documentary few nights ago and I found it pretty interesting. To be honest I had never heard of QuadrigaCX, it's been very interesting to see how the users from the Telegram group managed to discover Cotten's shady past since he was a teenager. The only thing that I don't get is how everyone gave up so easily after a journalist went to India and talked with the doctor who was in charge of the case: of course the doctor was going to confirm the story, so that's it? Nobody thinks that Cotten could have gave money to this doctor just to confirm his death to any journalist/curious who would go to India asking questions? I just don't get it...

Avevo letto in un canale Telegram che oggi, alla Bitcoin Conference di Miami, ci sarebbe stato un annuncio veramente importante, e sarebbe stato dato da Samson Mow, ovvero una delle persone più importanti dietro l'adozione di bitcoin ad El Salvador, e insomma, direi che l'annuncio non ha deluso affatto!

Sapevamo già che il Portogallo era parecchio crypto-friendly, Madeira intanto decide di portarsi ancora più avanti!





3230  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Madeira adopting bitcoin as legal tender on: April 07, 2022, 03:25:52 PM
The announcement was made at the Bitcoin conference a few minutes ago. What are your thoughts?
Portugal has always been very crypto-friendly, knowing now that Madeira is doing doing the same that the city of Lugano (Switzerland) did is just great! Especially because at this point I hope those countries are using Madeira and Lugano as a test, so eventually bitcoin will be accepted on the whole territory!
3231  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption? on: April 06, 2022, 06:03:15 PM
I would also add that buying a bitcoin is not exactly a straight forwarding thing to do since usually you have to open an account on an exchange, send the documents, wait to be verified, transfer the money and then decide where to store them. Many times when you explain to people all these steps, a lot of them immediately think it's too much effort. 

Then try providing them with the other methods of purchasing bitcoins.  You don't have to use exchanges.  If you're giving people the impression exchanges were the only option, then you're not explaining it correctly.
So tell me, where else would you bitcoin for the very first time? In an ATM on a public street? From some stranger paying cash? If you are new, whether you like it or not, buying from an exchange is still the safest way because nowadays exchanges are pretty much idiot proof, so it's very hard to lose your funds if you have a little brain. But again, if you have any other extremely simply solution that someone who never managed cryptos can easily follow, I'd like to know it Wink
3232  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc price moving too much on: April 06, 2022, 04:20:13 PM
Btc price moving too much can the btc maintane the trust of people still to hold btc ?
I don't know, but until now it looks like bitcoin is doing pretty good, no?

Btw...if market act like this many people will turn of from crypto
I'm pretty sure bitcoin can survive this, just like it did in the past.

and if btc not stable you cant use futures many people make food money with binance futures but if market like this they lose job as futures trader will be bad as there is no real jobs there is but low payed jobs
Welcome to the real world! I wonder how people made a living before bitcoin  Roll Eyes

Goverment need to step in and support our losees
Why should the government help you if you lose money? It's called "taking a risk" exactly for that reason. If you have to rely on your government to get some money maybe you should reconsider what you've been doing until now.
3233  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proposals for global shutdown of crypto on: April 06, 2022, 03:47:42 PM
The goal would be to end the ecoonomic destruction of bitcoin / crypto while causing the least losses possible to public.

Ideas on how to shut this endless crashing garbage down safely?
I'm a little confused, I think you probably misspelled "fiat money", or by mistake you wrote bitcoin instead, am I right? Because besides fiat money I can't think about any other "endless crashing garbage", and I'm trying hard eh, but no, nothing else comes up to my mind  Tongue

Praticamente, ancora una volta, stanno facendo di tutto per ritardare le operazioni di recupero. Però in teoria a questo punto non ci sono più ulteriori documenti da mandare, no? Quindi possono far passare qualche altro giorno, poi sarei curioso di vedere cosa faranno  Roll Eyes
3235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Microstrategy rug us again? on: April 06, 2022, 03:25:28 AM
Bitcoin sharply drop after Microstrategy announced they purchased a total of 4167BTC. The price is building a bullish momentum when the price drop coincidentally after the announcement. This is not the first time happened that involves whale company announce positive new while price moves in opposite way.

Does this institutional investors manipulating the price or traders is just using there news as a negative signal?
Probably it's just a coincidence but I noticed as well that it's not the first time that Saylor says he bought a ton of bitcoins and, after a few hours, the prices has a correction. I can't explain why and I don't think there is any kind of manipulation, maybe it's just bad luck...
3236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's preventing bitcoin from worldwide adoption? on: April 06, 2022, 03:21:37 AM
3. Fluctuating value: The value of bitcoin isn't steady as it rises and falls. The uncertainty in the price and value greatly hinders the general adoption worldwide.

4. Awareness: Nearly not enough effort on creating and spreading positive awareness on it as some government and individuals alike is hell bent on spreading negativity around and poisoning the minds of prospective users. People need to be aware and understand what bitcoin is really about and be awake to its uses.
Those two points are a major cause in my opinion. I would also add that buying a bitcoin is not exactly a straight forwarding thing to do since usually you have to open an account on an exchange, send the documents, wait to be verified, transfer the money and then decide where to store them. Many times when you explain to people all these steps, a lot of them immediately think it's too much effort. 
3237  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, wants to give away 99% of his money on: April 05, 2022, 11:20:32 PM
"The billionaire founder of crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, has plans to give away the vast majority of his wealth thanks to the philosophy of "effective altruism," which he learned in college.

Despite running a multibillion-dollar global crypto exchange, the 30-year-old drives a Toyota Corolla, lives like a college student, and has a goal of making as much money as possible so that he will have more to give away, according to Bloomberg.

Even with his massive wealth, he says he'll keep only about 1% of his earnings each year, or about $100,000.

"You pretty quickly run out of really effective ways to make yourself happier by spending money," Bankman-Fried told Bloomberg. "I don't want a yacht."

Bankman-Fried told Bloomberg he doesn't second-guess his decision to give most of his money away."

That is very noble of him! I always wondered what people with that much money could do, this is probably the best answer! At this point I also wonder if he is going to leave something to his (future) kids, lately more and more wealthy people don't want to spoil their kids leaving them millions and millions of dollars.
3238  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 30% tax on crypto income in INDIA on: April 05, 2022, 11:13:17 PM
I feel that the crypto tax imposed on the Indian citizens is very large, what about those who make no profit (loss) with their crypto investments, are they taxed too?
What do you mean? How can any government tax someone over money they lost? They tax the gains, if you have lost money than there is no gain, so of course you are not going to pay. Otherwise it would be like asking for tax money to a business that when bankrupt, how are they supposed to pay? And especially, why should they?
3239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Blockchain.com Wallet KYC on: April 05, 2022, 11:07:26 PM
What are your thoughts about this? Do you think more and more services will adopt similar techniques?
It's possible that some wallets in the future will require a KYC process. Anyway talking about Blockchain.com, just stay away from that exchange/wallet, I've read so many stories of people who found their wallet locked for "security reasons" and despite all the documentation they sent, they wouldn't unlock the wallet. I wouldn't put any satoshi there, and for sure I wouldn't give them my personal details.
3240  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: CEX ruins the true value of Bitcoin on: April 05, 2022, 10:47:51 PM
The possibility of theft from members of the platform themselves, even if they are its owners, remains a possibility that cannot be abandoned. We have seen similar cases in the past so we do not cancel any hypothesis. And I think we all remember the MT.GOX platform, which is an issue that has not yet been resolved after making sure that the project managers were the ones who stole the users' money. Assuming that platform owners are rich, users' savings represent a much larger figure that can be easily obtained instead of working to make a profit.
Could you please remind me in what year MtGox scammed its users? Many things changed in the meantime, and all the exchanges that scammed usually were minor exchanges, sometimes located in secondary countries (I remember one in Turkey for example). Of course everyone can believe what he wants to believe, if you think that Coinbase or Binance will scam their users, you are totally free to think it. But again, I don't see a single reason for them to do it.
