What are the chances the House of Lords will be abolished in the near future? Some other way to keep the House of Commons in check should not be too difficult to try and set up.

If this is for your self assessment tax returns you should have a filed returns for 2017-18 and 2018-19 already. Going by the information you stated it might be far better for you to use all crypto related  profit/loss in one place using one transaction rather than spreading it out for all fiat to crypto and crypto to fiat trades.

Quite simply, tally up everything you sent and received in those 200 fiat to crypto trades in EURO, calculate whether you made a profit or a loss. If you made a loss then that is that but if you made a profit you can use the EURO figure with an average exchange rate to get your GBP final profit/loss figure. You can also go a step further by looking at exchange rates from EURO/GBP and GBP/EURO for each transaction to get a very accurate figure otherwise simply go with an average figure.

As long as your crypto and not been converted to fiat and is sitting in a wallet you do not have to calculate any tax for them but the moment they are converted to fiat you must declare it.

Here are the EPL matches for today. 77 mins played at Goodison Park.

Certainly seems to be heading that way now that the impeachment proceedings are over and he held up the "aquittal" headlines in the newspaper, he is enjoying the attention. It will take a charismatic Democrat who can articulate him/herself to the audiences around the country to make it a one term presidency for Trump.

Regarding the mayhem, it will probably be a crazy 4 years no matter who was elected but hopefully it will be mayhem on a lesser scale if Trump was not re-elected. Maybe the #metoo movement might get re-invigorated and the many women that made accusations of sexual misconduct might put Trump back in the limelight for the wrong reasons. Do you see a Democrat that stands head and shoulders above all other candidates? Right now I cannot.

You are right but other than recommendation of demanding exchanges provide a good service, what other options would be ideal? If not keeping crypto on exchanges and if not synchronising hundreds of GB of blockchain on your desktop for each coin you own - then what is the alternative. As you said it costs fees to move crypto to and from exchanges (or anywhere else) and prices fluctuate all the time so how else can users trade without fearing another cryptsy or cryptopia?

Those investments and partnership ties-ins do not reflect in the XRP price. That is the problem for XRP, the price has been the achilles heel which has stopped it cementing its position as #2 by market capital to Bitcoin.

When the Moneygram deal was announced last year there was so much buzz and anticipation but in the end nothing happened, it was not a catalyst to thrust XRP to another level. What it did do was to highlight the disparity between Ripple and XRP because though Ripple has been used widely by various fintech organisations the trading and usage of XRP has been much muted.

Crypto should only really sit on exchanges when you want to trade, that is it. In other circumstances they should be on your own wallet but as mentioned in my previous post it might be almost impossible for an average user to download hundreds of GB upon GB of several almost obscure blockchains on a desktop or laptop when holding almost useless crypto. In those cases an alternative is always searched for and a multi-coin holding wallet is usually what is used, if not an exchange.

Regarding mixers and exchanges, you rightly said both provide a service, both are businesses. Both of them have been used to accommodate the transfer of stolen coins or those gained from illegal or maybe illicit sources. Whereas some exchanges might pull the KYC and investigation card, mixers do not do that.

I recall a few weeks ago certain users were openly stating they were happy to display either the Yobit x10 banner because they saw no difference between Yobit and mixers and argued anybody showing a mixer in their signature should be getting the same treatment as those showing a Yobit or x10 banner. Obviously the two do not correlate but that was the false justification put forward saying mixers were almost exclusively used for illegal activity. Moving forward, there is no doubt some users have taken advantage of the anonymity mixers (claim to) provide in order to hide some sort of criminality but as was pointed put in the previous post, the estimated figure currently stands at around 8% and that is fairly low considering the reputation some users are trying to paint about mixers in general.

For me the ethical concern surrounding mixers in the argument of illicit activity versus general users sending their funds from their exchanges direct to mixers in order to make their holdings effectively unknown after they are moved from any centralised exchange - is a non-argument. Mixers are providing a service for users that do not want anybody to know how much crypto they hold, if a tiny minority of users take advantage of that service and use it for illegal activity then there is not much that can be done at this moment in time.


This does not surprise me. The forum is full of posts where questions or semi-questions have been asked from not so commonly known individuals then they never post back in the same thread, or if they did they would completely disregard what they wrote before or others have written then ask another question or semi-question.

In a general manner (but more specific to OneCoin) Facebook and Twitter must be the worst offenders, they can allow their users to post any propaganda. There is freedom of speech and so on but there is also something else to consider: promoting a scam/ponzi

It would be harsh to completely lay the blame at these types of companies for not stopping the armies of trolls or paid shills but what is the alternative? If they have multiple reports about a particular user or a post/tweet then they should look in to it with a possible outcome of removing the post/tweet or banning the associated user account.

And yes, there definitely are plenty of people that get duped - sadly that is the way it goes. It seems it will continue with no real sign of slowing down.

You are so behind schedule on your own work how can anybody take you seriously?

Thank you for the link. There were things mentioned in there I was not aware of. This is the first time I read about a company called Intranel and the fact they owned 25% of Cryptopia.

The next one is Chief Executive Alan Booth, I did not know about it, I thought the two of them (Adam Clark and Rob Dawson) were simply running it. And them allowing John Gotts (whoever he is/was I never heard that name) to make a proposal to buy their shares in Cryptopia for a combined $40 million - did they ever run a background check to see if he finances or contacts in place?

The link provides excellent background information but it also exposes the shambles at the time.

Sadly not everybody has every blockchain downloaded on their devices for each coin they hold. Many people find it easier to hold coins on exchanges for the sake of avoiding downloading whole blockchains for tiny amounts of crypto.

Please tell us, what is going on? Have they been in touch with you trying to resolve the concern?

Exmo have a history of scam accusations. They were pumping the Minexcoin and then sending fake data to CMC in order to fool investors. Their team member is also associated with Republia/Paxchain/Grida as an advisor on their next scam therefore I would not be too confident that they will allow you to withdraw your crypto but keep us posted here please when you have news.

Yes IEOs do seem to have lost momentum but they are still head and shoulders above ICOs but I cannot equate bull runs to IEOs, they are two completely different things altogether.

That does not make sense, could you elaborate please.


Air travel will be just one of the many intricate and complex issues need resolving. This includes agriculture, fishing, trade (including VAT, customs, excise, import/export), banking, intelligence sharing and so much more.

I disagree with you, they do not have to reach compromises as soon as possible, the status quo suits all parties because they have until 31st December 2020 to reach a deal. Most analysts say an extension will be made for another 3 or 6 months after that date to finalise any outstanding issues.

It would be interesting to learn about that. On the face of it, it makes sense for the people who were running Cryptopia to at the very least turn up to the hearing. That would be a sign of them accepting guilt or them admonishing responsibility - it would just be a step in the right direction which could be seen as a way to repair the damage and animosity the whole scandal has created between investors and the owners.

You would presume that even if the project team did not attend it would inconceivable that legal representatives from Grant Thornton would not be there. I hope someone can shed some light on what is going on there in the hearing.

Plenty of party without money 

Come on people, post your scores so I can update them on the fixture list so we can see who was closest to the results

The Digital Assets Program website is now dead but they have re-branded themselves as: biteasyltd.com

This is the link to the Digital Assets Program scam thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197685.0



WEBSITE HOME PAGE
This is the link for their website: https://biteasyltd.com

Just like its predecessor, a quick glance at the biteasyltd.com website clearly shows another run of the mill tatty looking website. There is nothing impressive or enticing about it. The logo is pathetic.





INVESTMENT CLAIMS
- CLAIM #1: 5% if you send them $100 worth of BTC for 24 hours they will give return you $105 worth of BTC

- CLAIM #2: 3% if you send them $1000 worth of BTC for 120 hours they will give you $1150 worth of BTC

- CLAIM #3: 30% if you send them $1500 worth of BTC for 24 hours they will give you $1950‬ worth of BTC

- CLAIM #4: 10% if you send them $2000 worth of BTC for 1 hour they will give you $2200 worth of BTC



This scam website is operated by the same scammers behind the Digital Assets Program scam. The same team have re-branded themselves as this new scam: biteasyltd.com

Just a glance at the so-called investment returns they claim to offer shows that the whole thing is unsustainable. The website is nothing more than a front to fool people in order to get them to part with their crypto. They are using their Telegram fronted by photos of attractive women pretending to be either administrators or customers. They are not to be trusted.


EVERYBODY IS ADVISED TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM

They will not sign any wallet. They have already signed in after you made the post and they have not commented or responded.

Things are looking very suspicious indeed. I would advise MegaDice to step up and start saving their reputation or just own to being scammers...

Those comparisons made me chuckle. Have no idea if the doll or the corn is better
