Well I for one do believe that we will see USD 1M within five years.

Feel free to pump my bitcoin private.
Anyone know where to dump them?

I stopped paying attention to forks after bitcoin gold. What ones are worth doing?

Bitcoin private is worth $37,96 per coin, so there is actually some money in that one.
Bitcoin Atom is not worth collecting in my opinion @ $1,37

No one wanna pump my privates?


TERA (Debbie) might for 0.01 bitcoin

That's a bit pricey, I'll just do it myself and buy some more bitcoins.

So, somebody in here mentioned the Abra app/wallet. So I got curious and downloaded it on my "try stuff out" phone, and I must say it looks promising.
If I got it right you can move your funds between crypto and fiat within the app, which makes theter unnecessary.
I'm not a trader, but there is one sure thing in bitcoin land, and that is that bitcoin goes up in December and down in January. So I'm going to move my play stash to SEK on the coming December top and move it back to BTC on the January dip, just to try it out.

I did look but TIL there is not a single funny chopstick joke in the known world. Fact.
Chopcoin is so fun and amazingly addictive....  Despite of losing mostly, i enjoy the game. Wink Tongue

*Yes I know you libertarians detest state coercision in any form, including being made to vote, speed limits and fire codes.  Tough shit.

no, not tough shit

the sheriff knows goddamn good and well where not to go around here

you statists don't wield all the power you think you do

You are too highly educated and well spoken to be a sovereign citizen with no license plates.

A single vote by 350,000,000 people with 250 bytes of data per vote would use over 87.5GB on the blockchain. That's just in a really simple case but usually a ballot has like 50 things on it.
and usually 60-70% don't vote.  If voting could change things, it would be illegal.  

The Australians make it illegal not to vote. You get fined if you don’t show.  

They also vote on the weekend and employers are fined if they don’t allow employees a break to go vote.

Needless to say voter turnout is always above 90%.  

*Yes I know you libertarians detest state coercision in any form, including being made to vote, speed limits and fire codes.  Tough shit.

Actually, we would like the roads to be private and the owner free to set whatever speed limit he wants, cause, you know, it's his property to do with as he pleases.

I’m buying the road in front of your house and the back alley. You have to pay me $100k per year in a license fee to leave your driveway.   If you can’t afford it, I will buy your house from you for $1.  If you step onto my road without paying my license fee, I will shoot you for trespassing on my land.

Since my land is parallel to your road, I'll build a better road and put you out of business.

Global warming? Global warming!

Did you know that spiders don't breathe? They don't have lungs. Instead oxygen simply seeps into holes in their bodies. And as we all know, the atmosphere was denser in older times - denser atmosphere, more co2, more oxygen, bigger bugs. Also dinosaurs. There were dragonflies so big they could have eaten humans, if we had existed back then.

co2 is not a pollutant. On the contrary, it is plant food. Plants take in co2 from the atmosphere and excrete o2, oxygen, the thing we need to live. You may have heard of it. It is the very foundation of the entire food chain.

More co2 means more plants means more oxygen means more animals means more life. It is a Good Thing. In addition, warmer weather is better than colder weather. More people freeze to death than die from heat. So go on, burn some oil. Do your part to improve the world.

Only in small insects, the bigger ones must use a pumping motion to vent the air.

From swedish wikipedia (I know you can read this).

"Hos större insekter ventileras de yttre delarna av trakésystemet med hjälp av pumpande rörelser med kroppen, men i de inre delarna transporteras syrgasen också hos dem med diffusion."

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traké

underfloor heating systems

I had an electric underfloor heating system in my bathroom, it only lasted for ten years and now all I have is three wires sticking up through the floor tile and a freezing cold bathroom floor in the winter. Would not recommend.

And if you complain about migrants on facebook or twitter, you go to jail. At least in germany and england, same pattern everywhere, just a matter of degrees.

Slight exaggeration. If true, the 51.9% of UK population who voted for Brexit primarily due to immigration concerns would be in jail.  You can complain about migrants, it's racism which is illegal and rightly so.

In other news....it's a sea of green in cryptoland  Grin

The problem is the word 'racism' has been changing definitions at least colloquially.

Where it used to mean the belief that one race is superior to another, it now includes people making racial stereotypes.

Plus why on earth should racism be illegal?  A belief should not be illegal.  Acts should be.

OK, let's try and make this a little bit clearer. Racism is not illegal in Europe, saying racist stuff is not illegal in Europe, but spreading racist stuff to a wider audience is. So it's not the idea that's outlawed, it's the spreading of the idea. Is this wrong? Hell yes, all ideas must be allowed to be spread if you want to call yourself a democratic country.

Arrie that’s just bullshit.  Off the top of my head, there are all sorts of limits on the free spread of ideas:

*employee confidentiality agreements

*official secrets acts

*intellectual property law

*export controls on dual use software

*prohibited pornographic material

*conspiracy to commit terrorist acts

*prohitions on making bomb threats

*prohibtions on making death threats to public officials

You cannot say that you don’t live in a democratic society just becaus you have one or more of the above limitations on free speech. Inciting racial hatred is just another category of speech subject to limitations.  


With the possible exception of pornography your examples are not examples of what is traditionally seen as infringements of free speech.

Furthermore, the law is very vague and is used to try to stop political opponents from airing their opinion.

Said by Justice Neil Gorsuch in Sessions v. Dimaya.
"Vague laws invite arbitrary power. Before the (American) Revolu­tion, the crime of treason in English law was so capa­ ciously construed that the mere expression of disfavored opinions could invite transportation or death."
The same applies to anti racism laws in Europe today. (Well, not death or transportation (yet))

Sweden doesn't care about your citizenship, anyone can own property, even people without citizenship. You would have to pay real estate tax, but that tax had a cap of 914 USD last year. And in many cases you pay less, it's adjusted for inflation yearly. And everybody speaks english.
It's also Sweden.

Also being overrun by muslim immigrants that are increasingly incompatible with civilized societies, but the Swedes are so cucked, they're bending over and taking it, while saying "Thank you. Can I have another ?"

I can't believe what's happening over there in Europe.

It's terrifying to me.

How's tax day coming along fellow Americans?

Much poorer Undecided Filed and paid online. Already had both the FY17 and Q1FY18 payments sucked out of my accounts by the IRS this morning.

Sadface.

One more year of "painful" tax returns with all the BTC selling I've done for retirement purposes this year, but have no concerns with meeting those obligations - especially with making a small estimated payment for Q1FY18.

Pay your estimated quarterly tax, folks. It saves you a lot of butthurt when you file at the end of the year.

You shouldn't believe everything you read Bob.

I am pretty sure you can game the tax systems by “earning” all your income while offshore or in a tax free jurisdiction  and not staying in any particular Western country for more than 179 days [does not work for US citizens]

So fly to Dubai to cash out your BTC and then go skiing for a couple of months, rinse repeat.  
The problem that I have is specifically with owning property in that kind of situation. I don't want to go from hotel to hotel or Airbnb to Airbnb for the travel part. But if I could just own two houses and have each of them set up as a fully functional base then I would be perfectly happy to just fly over from one to the other every 6 months. Just haven't found anything specific regarding this edge case yet.

Yup, 6 months here 6 there is pretty ideal. I've been doing perpetual summer for the better part of 20 years and its worked out very well.
Depending on the country, ownership of land or house can get tricky, especially in SE Asia it has a particular set of headaches. I prefer to rent/lease long term in Asia which also gives me the option to pick up and go much easier if needed and own in the countries which I have citizenship.    

Just looked out the window.
I envy your lifestyle.

Haha I see that your neck of the woods is ankle deep in shit.  Disgusting, really.  I was depressed by the 12C and fog here, but now I'm laughing a little.  thanks  Cheesy

It’s a desolate, godless moonscape, totally uninhabitable. If we had dancing girls they’d be eaten by street-wolves.

Come to Thailand. It won´t be worse than this. If you avoid the girls, you´re home free !
And for half the money !
And you can drive around on a Moped, the whole year. That´s what i´m doing.
I´m blessed. No Joke !

Guys, i really can´t see, why you should end your life in such negative places, pack your things, even your family, and move !









I have three cats, so I'm stuck here. Moving pets around the world is too complicated.

I can´t see, why moving three cats, once it´s done, could hinder me.



If you move a cat or dog into Sweden it has to be quarantined for 120 days followed by two months of isolation in the home. There are some bad deceases, among them rabies, that we don't have in Sweden, hence the strict regulations.
And I'm sure other countries have similar laws, that makes it near impossible to move between countries with pets.

I think in Thailand you have to be a citizen to buy...you can lease, which is what most foreigners do. Actually most marry a local and the wife buys the property.
The citizen part was what I was worried about. Seems to be that case everywhere. I know that foreigners can buy property in Japan, but it seems like that is only for commercial purposes (such as renting out). Suppose using family could work though (in case there are no decent countries that allow non-citizens to own property for private use).
