Still have tax due in a few days...

How does the US tax system work? Does a business pay at the start of the new year, and citizens pay in April?

You can file to extend documentation to October, if you want, as long as you paid 100% in April.
Corp: by the 15th day of the third month following the tax year (March 15 for calendar year).
LLCs-flowthrough to individual tax if single member, then there are franchise taxes (TX-in May).
Last year I had to pay a bit, then they hammered me with high estimated payments and now it looks like I overpaid.
Impossible to get it right (either you have paid too much or too little almost every time).

I seem to remember people blaming early January bitcoin dumps on miners/traders having to sell to pay US taxes. Is that bullshit?

Let's get back to our roots -- wall observing. The order books are signaling more bitcoin wanting to be safe USD than I've seen in a long time. Looks like we're gearing up for a spectacular drop.

Have you considered dumping your thousands of bitcoins, then buying more back cheaper like you did in 2012?

I've got > 2000 and < 5000.  Last year when I started I remember thinking "I hope one day to have 200".  On then on the way down from $32 I kept scooping them up with my biggest haul coming in at $2.4x after the last $2.00 bounce.

Math and science.

OT: https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/11/tech/elon-musk-twitter-board/index.html

So now Elon Musk isn't going to be on Twitter's board? Is this guy ever serious about anything, or just a tiring blowhard?  Roll Eyes

So much for enacting any change at Twitter. If he's not at least a board member, he'll have exactly zero influence over their business model.

Unless he does a hostile takeover.

Had he taken a board seat, the SpaceX CEO would have been limited in how much of the company's shares he could own, with a 14.9 percent cap. 

Musk could now remain a passive investor or plan a hostile takeover of the company.

Hope so.... Twitter as it is , is a dirty echo chamber narrative control censorship crazy virtue signalling shit hole, absolute dirt.

Maybe Musk didn't like the conditions of taking a seat on the board. The Chief Executive said he would have "to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders". Best interests is an umbrella term that could mean anything the company wants it to.

We also believed that having Elon as a fiduciary of the company where he, like all board members, has to act in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders, was the best path forward.

I’m bad at TA, so I just HODL. It is easy and good for profits.

Bitcoin wasn't created to make you rich. It was created to make you free.

But wall observer says: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Most posts here are about price discussion (BTC/USD)...
You even have a price bot here?  Huh Huh Huh Huh

...

No, most posts here are nothing to do with the price. We have special rules here that allow trolling, and off-topicness. If you click the "Report to moderator" link at the bottom of a post you will find this message.

Special Wall Observer rules: bitcointalk.org moderators do not moderate the Wall Observer thread for multi-posting (except obvious spam), trolling, or on-topicness.

This is what most posts here are like.




Haven't been here for a few months, but I've noticed that the senior WOs are fighting and insulting each other, and that the junior WOs are posting quotes and memes to beg for Merit.

Thank you for your service, CB. Now move the number up, enough of this 42 nonsense.
Yeah now we need CB to push up that $42k range...

ChartBuddy's pushed it up for you.

Those lists of large BTC stashes treat 30k as a big deal.

In 2010 that was only enough for a half dozen pizzas.

Remember Manwhalebear? Dumped 30k just like that (October 6, 2014). I wonder how many more he kept hodling.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdqKOKsymfk

I watched it happen live. Jolly good fun.

I watched it too. He dumped the huge wall at $300. He could have bought them back at $150 in early 2015, but didn't apparently.

This reddit poster claims to be Manwhalebear, and signed a message to prove it. I haven't verified it yet though. This is the address he signed it from 159SCycgn8weAy2XGUEhD6V1RTFni7E3iq. It's received 224421 BTC over the years!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6d2tp1/i_am_the_bearwhale_uasf_now/

It's a very long post. Here's a few quotes from it.

Quote
Hello. I am the BearWhale. After a series of bad experiences with the banking system, I invested most of my life savings into bitcoin when the price was fairly low, around $8. For years I was a HODLer.

Quote
The price kept drifting downwards until finally at a little over $300 I had enough. I sold off everything...

Quote
I don’t regret selling, as I made an enormous profit. The decision was a rational one based on available information. However, in 2017 I went all-in on bitcoin again...

The signature is on pastebin.

The signature's authentic.

Biggest Bitcoin ₿ holders:
After Satoshi.

1. MicroStrategy: 125,051 BTC
2. Tesla: 43,200 BTC
3. Terra LUNA: 30,727 BTC
4. Marathon Digital: 8,133 BTC
5. Square (Jack Dorsey - Ex Twitter CEO): 8,027 BTC


Where did you get that list? It doesn't come anywhere close to being accurate.

My first thought was where are The Winklevoss Twins (70k) and Tim Draper (30k)?

There are many more large holders we've never heard about.

Is Proudhon one of them?

Yes.

$15.99 + shipping, and you can probably pay with bitcoin as excellion redirects you to the GloBee payment gateway.

https://www.excellion.com/product/fck-you-money-mug/

Thank you for sharing the link I literly thought of buying the cup but when I see $20 shipping charges and total price $35.00 i thought sand **** it and instead of BTC cup why not have real bitcoin and I added another $14.01 bought 0.0011 BTC yeah, clever move isn't it?








There's a few of us who regret buying things with bitcoin years later, like Jimbo's twenty thousand dollar bitcoin baseball hat. That cup could turn out to be very expensive in a few years.


*drying off with $8,000 towel.*


I'm currently using a $2000 Trezor...



I have a couple $1,300 sandwiches



Dont forget my $33,000 iphone 6..

For those who want green bitcoin only.

Norwegian #Bitcoin is super green.
100% of the country's energy supply comes from wind and hydropower.

That's news to me. I've heard of the Norwegian blue, but not the Norwegian green.

The UK treasury is going to "regulate" some stable coins, but won't say which ones yet.

It's a great idea, just like the EU ban on bent cucumbers. What could possibly go wrong?

Dammit!  Somebody posted while I was answering and I got a new question:

How many miles per gallon did the 1908 Ford Model T get?
 15-20
 25-30
 20-25
 10-15

(Oh no!  Is this Imperial miles per metric gallon or nautical miles per kilometric gallon?)


At least it wasn't about the air-speed velocity of swallows.

Edit2: IQ of 113?  Gimme a break.  Last time my IQ saw that number was when I was attached to an umbilical cord and had not yet seen the sunshine and come to loathe it.

At least the trivia questions are cool, like about history and animals and shit like that.  If they about popular culture and hollywood or some stupidity like that I would be in the negative range by now.


Theymos should use this system instead of questions to test our IQs.

Before the end of the workweek the price will be below $40k.

Don't get too excited everyone, this is nothing but another bouncing dead cat.

This is how we should also react to your talks:



Begging for the same digital tokens few years back and when you don't get them so start talking shit about it but see there's no negative impact on adoption rate.But you keep going the same way.
