Is anyone using Skrill? I see that we can load our account with Bitcoin, but I am interested to know if you can then use the Mastercard. Because Neteller has a bitcoin option, but you can't use their card to send the bitcoin loaded...

Bumping this, after further research there seems to still be no definitive answer.

@lewisaro
It's not giving a full answer but there are maybe some hints here UK: Investors could legitimately be classified as gamblers The tax-free loophole
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is payable on gains above £11,300. Of course you're supposed to declare anything, no matter how much.
If the majority of your cryptos come from selling some game skin items then it's not considered as CGT.

The OP is surely comparing with yesterday after seeing Coinmarketcap. But it's far to be what we had several days ago. As of now, it doesn't mean anything, and I am pretty sure it's going to take longer than what we think to recover but better late than never. xD

Are you using a weak password or are you using the same password for several sites? You have maybe joined a shit site that has been hacked or something like that. Because it's surely the reason rather than Yobit hacked. If it was the case, it would be all over the news already.

Yobit support is horrible
7186  Other / Ivory Tower / Re: Today is the first settlement day for the new CME group Bitcoin futures contract on: January 20, 2018, 02:37:33 PM
I read an interesting theory that Bitcoin was started by the US treasury, and that it was an experiment to help them design a new world currency. They saved the output from the first year's mining to help them control prices later down the line. It's starting to look as if Bitcoins are being removed from the market, and this is a good omen for long term price trends. It will mke it unusable as a payment method though, except for large transactions of course.

 Grin Did you know about this? http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/money/nsamint/nsamint.htm

I hope this doesn’t turn into a monthly pump and dump.

Don't be surprised if it happens.

I don't think it will be like this for a long time but a lot of people will surely take the opportunity before it's too late. The treasury wants to force people to verify their identity to regulate Bitcoin but most exchanges require ID verification as soon you deal with fiat and bank transfers, so not sure how it can be efficient.

Are you sure the difference from £2000 to £1880 doesn't come from your bank?
Just asking because Coinbase sends funds as EUR to UK customers, despite that your account is in GBP. Then your bank converts it to your local currency and usually they charge fees for foreign currency exchange, and the fees are sometimes ridiculous...

This Finance Minister has appointed a "Sir Bitcoin" and gave him instructions to think about how to regulate the cryptos.
The guy appointed was governor at the central banker and anti-bitcoin on top of that.

And yes the news posted by OP is something old from October or December and started after France decided to be more clear about the taxes related to cryptos

You're overreacting
The guy is just leading a team to figure a way to combat money laundering.

Whatever he thinks he must come up with a report and only then would (maybe?) the finance minister take action.
And even then, the laws would have to go to parliament approval before anything else....
It will never come down to a bitcoin ban.


I said "gave him instructions to think about how to regulate the cryptos" How is that overreacting

Quote
...and I have just entrusted Jean-Pierre Landau, former deputy governor of the Banque de France, with a mission on cryptocurrencies . "
The mission will be responsible for " proposing guidelines on the evolution of regulations " in Bercy with two objectives: "to better control development and prevent their use for purposes of tax evasion, money laundering or financing criminal activities or terrorism

Of course this guy isn't a politician and has no power to decide about anything, I didn't say he will ban cryptos.
And no, in france, in order to pass a law, no absolute majority of the members of the parliament is required.
A law can be voted and accepted during the night while there is nobody or just 3-5 persons in the parliament

By request from a telegram bot if it's possible, without any doubt (at least for me). Better would be to be able to use custom commands if it's possible for example: /BTC or /top. I am not a regular Telegram's user so have no idea if it's do-able, just suggesting
7196  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: needing some feedback on understanding localbitcoins USD per BTC on: January 19, 2018, 05:38:24 PM
Yes if you deal with a big amount the difference can be big (like +$1,000 while making a 1BTC deal in your example).
But when you think about it, it's just a 10% difference in the price. And of course, you can't expect to see people selling at the current price because, after all, they are there to make a profit Smiley

If it wasn't so easy to fraud with Paypal and people were more honest, it wouldn't be like this. Unfortunately, Paypal protects the buyers more than the sellers generally speaking.



Firstly, the risk of a chargeback when using Paypal to buy bitcoins is extremely high, I would say at least 20% of the time stolen/hacked Paypal accounts are used to purchase bitcoin, hence the vendor needs to increase their fees to cover the likelihood of a future chargeback.



Have you read what I posted? It's exactly what I was explaining above, I don't need a parrot or an online spinner.
7197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: France, Germany to make joint bitcoin regulation proposal at G20 summit on: January 19, 2018, 05:30:56 PM
They are not happy because they want "a stable economy" as well "limit money laundering using cryptos" and "refuse the speculation risks" it's their own words.

If they "refuse the speculation risks" maybe they should look at the banks first, It's my money I do whatever I want, I don't ask them for accounting advice

The crypto market and its ecosystem can help the economy, how it can make an economy unstable? Ah let me guess: money will leave the bank vaults putting at risks the banks to go bankrupt.

7199  Economy / Speculation / Bitcoin's bloodbath was totally normal & the biggest buying opportunity in 2018 on: January 18, 2018, 08:43:33 PM
For those who loved to say The fun's over or 2018 is death of bitcoin as well Bitcoin is a MASSIVE bubble right now or is this the end..?

I am sorry to tell you we made a lot of cash these past days and got cheap Bitcoins, "Black friday" every days of the week Cheesy.
At least the strong Bitcoin believers are still here and the weaks sold everything and leaved the market...


  • Tom Lee, the managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, sees bitcoin's recent slump as a buying opportunity.
  • He notes that bitcoin has seen similar patches of wild volatility in recent months and that the 34% decline seen over the past two days was not unusual.

Tom Lee doesn't get all the fuss about bitcoin's recent skid, which some experts characterized as a "bloodbath."

Sure, the wildly popular cryptocurrency plunged by as much as 34% in just two days, hitting an intraday
Lee, the managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, pointed out in a client note published Thursday that bitcoin had seen similar fluctuations over the past two years. He noted that since mid-2016 it had seen six rallies of more than 75% and six sell-offs exceeding 25%.

The chart below shows this pattern at work. As Lee put it: "What happens in years in equity markets is months in the crypto world."




Because bitcoin has repeatedly shown the ability to recover from similar drops in recent months, Lee sees depressed levels as offering an opportunity for bulls to increase exposure.

"We think the best way to think about sell-offs is to look at it through the lens of retracements — how much of the prior rise is given back," he wrote. "We view this $9,000 as the biggest buying opportunity in 2018 — and we would be buyers at levels around here."

It would appear that Lee's forecast for a rebound is already being fulfilled, as bitcoin on Thursday morning rallied roughly 20% off its overnight low.

On a longer-term basis, Lee remains extremely bullish not just on bitcoin but on cryptocurrencies in general. He sees the total crypto market cap exceeding $1.2 trillion, with digital currencies leading the way, and he says the newest generation of consumers is the key.

"Looking beyond 2018, adoption of blockchain is powered by millennials and outside the US," Lee said. "Millennials are the largest population cohort at 96 million and are now just entering their prime income years — surveys show millennials have low trust in existing financial institutions, and we see this demographic driving adoption."

TOM LEE: Bitcoin's bloodbath was totally normal and opened up 'the biggest buying opportunity in 2018'



7200  Economy / Speculation / Re: Shops/stores will lose money when Bitcoin price falls on: January 18, 2018, 05:10:23 PM
The thing is, most shops that accept bitcoin implement systems that automatically converts the bitcoin to FIAT at point of sale, so they're pretty much unaffected by these huge price swings.
But then gold and silver as payments at shops/stores is more safer

You're funny LOL, so while shopping online you expect to pay with gold? And to the merchant "The gold is in the vault at my bank go there" Or while at the supermarket to buy a fish you say to the cashier "hold on, I pay with gold, I have only 1 kilo in my pocket, deal with it" "no problem sir, I have all acid needed to make the test"
