Je suis tombé sur 2 articles la semaine derniere qui traitaient de la crypto et la fiscalité. Apparement, cette année il fallait quand même declarer nos comptes. Bien que le Tresor Public reconnaisse que le formulaire à remplir ne soit pas adapté pour le domaine de la crypto, fallait le remplir.

Look like @Whaleagent were right, we've reached $8,600 today. Good job Smiley Probably the next week there is a chance to hit $9,000. What would be great is to not go below $8k anymore. If we don't go below $8k, $10,000 is possible for this summer

...

that chart is good but it is not showing the true trends because of the halving mainly because the 2017 rise is dwarfing all the previous rises and with the type of zoom this chart has and its low quality it is not possible to see the real thing that happened at those times.
for example if you zoom in the 2012 halving you can see that there was a very big rally at the time due to halving. and the 2013 big rise may not have had much to do with halving both because we already had the rise and also because it is far away from the halving itself. same with 2016 halving and 2017 big rise.

So true. Also, people speculate on halving for a new ATH. Considering the memorable crash we got back 2017-2018, what about if Bitcoin, effectively goes up, as people speculate (including me), but no more than $15,000? Because this is also reasonable speculation and a possible situation. Why not?

Recently people started to quote the $100,000 price, I thought they were joking firstly, secondly they were just repeating, but finally, figured they really think about it. I wish they will be right but honestly, I doubt it's going to happen.

i don't see why $100k couldn't happen., considering the  way bubbles have been in the past and also the way money sometimes flows in the market like crazy, it is not that unlikely to see a price like $100k.
in the end it all comes down to supply and demand. bitcoin has a scarce supply and the adoption so far has been minuscule (less than 1% of the world) and it has not stopped or slowed down, instead it has only been speeding up so if that 1% grows to 5% we should see a price much higher than $100k. it may not happen this fast (2020) but it is not an unlikely target.

Well, I checked and compared the previous halvings just right now:

- Both hyped BTC x10
- Both ATH followed with a crash (or what we call a correction here) during several months

If we continue to compare with the previous halving, the $3,200 bottom we got not long ago was 'normal' or 'predictable'. And if Bitcoin goes up x10 like previously: $8k x 10=$80,000. So $100k more or less is possible, I finally changing my mind and admit it's possible. Even after a 'crash' if BTC ends on $70,000 I will be happy still ^^

...Should theymos disappear, I really have no idea who to even consider as bitcointalk.org's legitimate leader (even more so if there's widespread disagreement on the topic).

Craig Steven Wright will probably send a claim  Cheesy

On a serious note, I would be surprised if Theymos has never anticipated something like this. The later the better but I learned my lesson and can say the life can dramatically change with a few minutes

Yes but Localbitcoins doesn't need to make use of the legacy financial system of these countries to serve users there, they could easily ignore the law and let people transact at their own risk.

Yeah, Localbitcoins is the confusing one, having recently blocked users from Iran.  Would it be something to do with them technically qualifying as an escrow for all the trades there?  It wouldn't surprise me if part of the US sanctions against Iran included preventing companies from offering escrow services to Iranian residents.

I don't think so. If we think out of the box and out of the crypto industry, it would mean there are other entities restricted in a similar way. I am referring to the banks and to the payments services (prepaid account, prepaid card, EMIs,..). I don't remember to read about a situation like this.

It could be considered ironic knowing there are surely either a bank, a Mutual Fund Yield, a firm, or whatever from the US operating there.
And the fact there is a good chance that Iran, as an Oil Exporter, holds part of the American debt (with others Oils Exporters)

As the adage says: "Follow the Money"

It's the same thing when it's about the fight with North Korea (for its rare-earth metal (maybe the only country worldwide with REM, 'needed for all kind of technologies)) and with China (for idk, economic stuff, or because China is the 2nd country holding the US debt.)

Exactly. In fact, if I'm correct it even decreases your security since you add a middle-man (?) Instead to have a green padlock you see a green onion. The only reason a website can start about adding the SSL is to prove the website identity, mainly a company/business or something like that.
4228  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc fork crack smokers on: May 24, 2019, 08:39:29 PM
@LFC_Bitcoin is right. The only ones who care about BCH are the trading bots. You have a few supporters, usually trolling on Twitter trying to argue with anything they can. They are so sure of their lies that they end up really believing it. I don't know how to say it's a bit like a cult with a few gurus gravitating in the sphere.
4229  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BitPay no longer serving banned countries on: May 24, 2019, 06:55:56 PM
@ETFbitcoin
The thing is, their main interest when using Bitpay is the bitcoins are converted into fiat and send to their bank... It may even be the only thing that interests them. Anything else they're not interested. Also regarding accounting, there is maybe less work to do, they don't have to report the trades, etc, you know, the usual boring papers.

Personally, I didn't know BTCpay but I am thinking about something. Someone can code the stuff to had API from exchanges, then when a sale is done the API send-trade-withdraw. Then he has his own BitPay alt
4230  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: 📣📣📣 [ANN] 👉 BESTMIXER.IO 👈 THE FUTURE OF BITCOIN MIXING! TECHNOLOGY IS HERE on: May 24, 2019, 06:22:25 PM
How did they manage to get access to letters of guarantee? Weren't they supposed to be deleted 24 hours after transaction got confirmed?

The investigation started last year, I'm guessing like with some darknet markets, the Dutch police decided they'll run the service themselves for a while to glean some information from people using the service. Or they managed to locate bestmixer's servers and install a backdoor.

Interesting... So I got PM from the Dutch Police. Shocked
Nah, the owner account wouldn't be in the forum to post during all the months, and to defend his trust feedback  They took access to the site no more than 1 month before. And to be honest, I have a little conviction to say he is still here...running a mixer....

Le mec a voulu faire un virement de 15.000 euros vers kraken mais les fonds ne sont jamais arrivés.

Excuse du CA:
Quote
"La banque souhaite ainsi "préserver les intérêts de (ses) clients et les protéger des conséquences financières et patrimoniales pouvant résulter de ces investissements".
Oui enfin bon la personne ca fait deja des années qu'elle est dans la crypto, je pense qu'elle a eu assez de temps et d'evenements pour savoir ce qu'elle faisait avec son argent.
Ptin, si ca continue t'as ton banquier qui t'appelera pour te dire "Mr, les prostitués c'est stop pour ce moi ci". Tu peux meme pas depenser ton argent comme tu veux.

Le CA dit aussi que c'est parce que des clients qui ont perdu de l'argent dans la crypto se retournent contre elle. Incroyable! Cheesy
Il faut maintenant signé une décharge.

C'est pas la premiere fois que des banques francaises refusent aux clients des transfers à destination de Kraken. Il y avait eu plusieurs cas il y a quelques années

edit: c'est pas le CA en général, c'est le Crédit Agricole Atlantique Vendée

Here you have to consider BitPay more like a payment processor than something else. And of course, all the things that come with. I'm not so surprised.
Yes you need a bank account if you're a merchant and yes it can be seen as useless to forbid some countries while it's difficult to make a bank account, not in your name.
The same goes for Paypal while there are several countries blacklisted there too.

If they have only $3 million left then that could explain why they piss off people with their withdraws and KYC bullshit. If you have some coins there then better to transfer out everything if you can.
3 million USD is a lot of money for us but for an exchange sorry it's ridiculous. It's like having $1 in your pocket
4235  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Authorities Shut Down First Bitcoin Transaction Mixer on: May 24, 2019, 01:59:44 PM
If you want to stay anonymous just don't use bitcoin. Even theymos says monero is superior to bitcoin when it comes to staying anonymous.

Mixers look fine on paper but there is no way you could know if the mixer was being owned by the government already by the time you decided to use them.

That's exactly what happened to bestmixer. The government owned the service for more than 10 months before they finally decided to seize the domain.

It could happen to any mixing service you are using. It is pointless and dangerous af.


ah yes, Theymos say something and everyone repeat, sometimes without understanding. Since Theymos posted something yesterday you're the 6 or 7th user repeating, quoting, licking, whatever. Now I'm saying there are better coins than monero.
Always the same argument with mixers, the famous honeypots

Is there any confirmation about this?
Not really, the fact is they were "monitoring" bestmixer for months.

Tesla isn't the first to use the blockchain. ATOS and Worldline were the first for the second market. As for Tesla:
Tracking maintenance and repairs yes it's a real use as for the other points it could be the same with a database secured enough, it's just the for the 'marketing' side.

They should focus on decrease the price instead, no way I would buy a car $50k they target the riches only

Surprised as well but I hope it will stay definitely and not removed after some months as Expedia & co did before. No volatility question here because they use BitPay so the bitcoins are converted to USD. Now it's up to the users to show their interest in using BTC. I wish mine do the same.
4238  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: BestMixer is gone, seized by the Financial Crime Investigation on: May 23, 2019, 09:13:55 PM
He registered the domain with Gandi and hosted the website with Worldstream . And I can tell you that you can buy a domain name without any real information and you can pay with bitcoins (at least before Bitcoin was here) the dedicated server too.

Today the Whois Record has been updated http://whois.domaintools.com/bestmixer.io but too lazy to find what changed. Probably the NS.

Look like they haven't moved yet the site to their own server, they're probably still working on few things like extracting or idk.

There is no pedagogy behind it, most people repeat what their 'guru' said the day before, or they do what they are told. But there is no educational work behind it. As a result, many people find themselves in markets with serious deficiencies. To add, they usually have more than one 'guru' each saying different things + overloaded with the pseudo-analysis published daily

No matter the color, without a link for reference it worth zero, 99% of the time.
People are desperate...

I don't think DTs are sending thousands of green feedback daily but you are right this work (scanning) can be worth almost 0.

Sorry but I was referring to buying trust not to scrap Smiley
