Nice! gadman2, adding it to the OP index & also:



From vantc: Had to get a bit creative (electric car/special fuel plates) and my buddy already owns BITCOIN for VA.  I think the globe is a nice touch, tho

you're right...

2014 it is.

The very essentials of a Bull.

Since I will mention Picasso and his Bull series I specially want to add this particular painting, the Fifth Bull. It is located in the Hall of the Bulls in Lascaux, France.



On with the show! Remember Picasso? well of course you do, so you probably know his The Bull series.  It consists 11 lithographs. In this series Picasso tries to find the very essentials of a Bull.











Little by little you can see that Picasso eliminates unnecessary parts (though we can still understand that it is somehow a bull)











and voila the final version of Picasso’s bull; the essentials of a bull with just a few lines



The cave paintings have always reminded me of Picasso’s Bull. Not the final version but don’t you think that the 5th or 6th version somehow reminds you of cave paintings? like the ones in Lascaux?

Bitcoin's Weekly Outlook from 6th January

You can look for a good break or a light at the end of one tunnel. This is definitely your lucky week in however small a way. There will be a lilt in your step and a twinkle in your eye. Just don't over-tax yourself, bite off more than you can chew or over-commit yourself. If you can keep yourself under a certain amount of control then you'll be pleased with the end result of your activities. You will be in a high flying, real dynamo of a mood.

Bitcoin, Your Birthday Horoscope for 2014 01 03 is...

http://thinkspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/5thbday.jpg

IF ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY your year ahead will be ambitious, bossy, a time to get cracking and make everyone around you sit up as well. There will be sudden changes at home which you'll handle better if you stay calm and don't leap to conclusions. Old, loyal friends will be a great support as will one close partner. You'll be sharing more activities and interests together. From mid year your finances will improve with generosity coming your way and more intimacy with loved ones.

Today's forecast for Litecoin, Friday, 3 January 2014

Don't put all your cards on the table. I offer you this advice, not because your hand is weak but because it is stronger than you realise. Early next week, will see the completion of a conjunction between Mercury and Venus. Imagine that you have been dealt an ace. This has a flexible value. Each time you look at it, you assume it represents a problem. But seen from another perspective, it is a valuable asset. You can 'win', but only if you don't accidentally give away something you ought to keep quietly to yourself.

Consultation on just where in the world that it would be advantageous to become fiscally resident & what this would entail (ie, just paying taxes there on local &/or global income &/or some physical residency, property ownership, investment, citizenship or dual citizenship, etc...), how it would effect any biz done with citizens of other countries re potential tax liabilities in their countries.

Is it best to be trading as a person or as a company, income versus capital gains or loans from the company to oneself, offshore companies & bank accounts, trusts & charitable foundations, inheritance, deductibles, time limits for visiting other countries so as not to get enmeshed in their tax reporting requirements, like generally not more than six months per year - but more specifically 183 days for the States (but to take in to account previous years stays which are counted as fractions of a day & added on) or the UK with maybe not more than 51 consecutive days, etc.

Plus some more stuff that I haven't itemized as yet due to the hols & traveling, also whatever comes up at the initial consultation & a few undisclosed things as well.

I'm actively looking in to this atm & should know more in the next couple of weeks.

Hi Redacted,

I’d be happy to discuss further with you.    Do you want to have an initial phone conversation first?    I don’t want to scare you off, but I want to ensure you are comfortable with our firm’s fees (i.e. they just raised my rate to $720/hr) and we would likely need a $10,000 retainer to get started.

Feel free to give me a call to discuss.  I’m  generally around tomorrow morning and then on the 30th and 31st of December.

I look forward to speaking with you,

Best,

Redacted

Bitcoin's Horoscope for week of December 26, 2013

http://www.freewillastrology.com/horoscopes/tarot_cards/tarot23.jpg   In 1588, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the ruler of Japan, confiscated the swords, daggers, and spears belonging to every citizen. He announced they would be melted down and used to make a giant Buddha statue. I'd love to see you undertake a comparable transformation in 2014, Bitcoin. You shouldn't completely shed all your anger and pugnacity, of course; a certain amount is valuable, especially when you need to rouse yourself to change situations that need to be changed. But it's also true that you could benefit from a reduction in your levels of combativeness. What if you could "melt down" some of your primal rage and use the energy that's made available to build your personal equivalent of a Buddha icon?

Litecoin's Horoscope for week of December 26, 2013

   In 1972, English folk musician Nick Drake recorded his album Pink Moon. He finished it in a mere four hours, singing all 11 songs and playing every instrumental track himself. It took years for anyone to appreciate his artistry, but eventually the magazine Melody Maker selected Pink Moon as number 48 on its list of the "All Time Top 100 Albums." Here's one way I suspect your efforts will be similar to Drake's in 2014, Litecoin: You will have the ability to get a lot done in a short time. Here are two ways your fate will be different from Drake's: First, you will have a big pool of trustworthy allies to call on for help. Second, what you produce won't take nearly as long to get the appreciation it warrants.

Happy HODLidays!

Litecoiun's Horoscope for week of December 19, 2013

  The Italian painter Tintoretto (1518-1594) was a Libra. He worked with such vigor and passion that he was nicknamed Il Furioso -- The Furious. One of his crowning achievements was his painting Paradise, which is 74 feet long and 30 feet tall -- about the size of a tennis court. It adorns a huge wall in the Doge's Palace, a landmark in Venice. I propose that Tintoretto serve as one of your inspirational role models in 2014. The coming months will be an excellent time for you to work hard at crafting your own personal version of paradise on earth. You may not be so wildly robust as to deserve the title "Il Furioso." But then again, you might.

Many thanks indeed Equus for your donation to the Hannah fund, it is most appreciated!

Litecoin's forecast, Saturday, 7 December 2013

Your Week Ahead: Your passport contains your date of birth, your name and picture. It may even say what you do for a living. There's no description, though, of your spirit. There's no indication of your personality, no mention of your kindness, no reflection of your values. This week brings progress in a realm that's beyond the official and the ordinary. Here, as Mars moves into your sign, is your passport to a world in which you can redefine your sense of identity and forget the way the world wants to see you - and just be you at your best.


Litecoin, Sunday, 8 December 2013

Your Week Ahead: There is an old saying 'You win some, you lose some.' Are you set to lose something now? If you are winning enough of the ones that count, it hardly matters. It may not be possible to score a success in every endeavour you want to undertake. But as long as you now prioritise the most important issues on the agenda, you can ensure that this week, under a positive cosmic climate, you will be able to protect whatever you care most about. And as for the rest, well... you may not do too badly there, either!

Bitcoin's forecast, Saturday, 7 December 2013

Your Week Ahead: Not everyone is as honest or as well intentioned as we might hope... or even as they, themselves, might imagine that they are. We can't immediately tell what others are like just by looking at them and they can't judge us very quickly either. This week, you are dealing with someone who has been through challenging experiences. These have taught them to be wary. You, apparently, have not yet fully proven that it is safe to trust you. Show some understanding. This is an excellent week for establishing and maintaining bonds.


Bitcoin, Sunday, 8 December 2013

Your Week Ahead: Just as a knife can cut you if you pick it up by the wrong end, a flight of fancy can take you soaring on wings of inspiration or bring you to the cliff edge of panic. Coming events will stimulate your creativity, giving you energy. Meanwhile, you will benefit from some convenient coincidence. You will find yourself, almost by magic, in a situation that suits your mood. That's good if you are setting out to do something constructive. But watch out. If you dwell on false fears and suspicions, you may turn these into realities by mistake

Prize sent! https://blockchain.info/tx/78f4158e065cb5450762f8533a6dfcbb2c611f7ec74f5f32eccf8fe88d30d51c

Again my apologies for the delay, the Hannah fund I set up to hopefully pay the college fees of a good friend's kid, she lost her dad in a tragic accident a couple of years ago & there wasn't really any/much compensation or insurance. I ended up being the main contributor to it and as I was an early backer of Litecoin especially it has done quite well so far, but every donation to it is both important & very good karma imo, also much appreciated as well of course.

I think that you guys are all agreed that this was the winning entry, I haven't had a chance to check the numbers so I will just pay the full balance in https://blockchain.info/address/1ThousandAF3VeVnQtteX6htvjZoREs35 as planned, which is 5.41 BTC which even with the dip is $4,600 worth. If there are any discrepancies with the amount in the address then please to let me know & I'll rectify it.

Equus, if you're feeling charitable & generous with your new found coins, then any donation however small to my charity fund is always most appreciated, more details here:

Please confirm where to send the prize, sorry if you have already in the thread, I assume it will be your entry sending address, many thanks.

I intend to get this checked & the winnings sent before the weekend, there seems no doubt that Equus won it, I'd just like to look back through it all first & make sure that I haven't missed anything & that the correct coins are on the 1Thousand address exactly before sending, again my apologies for the delay - I've never had so little free time as now, though that's no bad thing - far from it, just needing to deal with critical things first.
