1041  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum OG (ICO participants) on: September 29, 2023, 11:51:26 AM
Are those who joined the Ethereum ICO technical people? How were you able to join? What was the experience back then? Did you mine ETH? Did you participate in the launch by running a node? I'm curious to know as my friends talked a lot about recently and you are so lucky back then i think.
I bought Ethereum for $30, but I sold it several times more.
Launching a node in Ethereum 2.0 was not very profitable due to 10-12% profit per year. I think that new ecosystems like Solana will appear on the market, the coins of which will give 100x. Don't sell all your coins, invest.
1042  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashing Out Thousands of Bitcoin on: September 29, 2023, 11:40:37 AM
How would you go about cashing out very large sums of Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrency?

A hypothetical example:

You were fortunate to purchase five thousand Bitcoin, when it was only pennies a coin, and it's now worth a whopping $130,000,000. This is now sitting in cold storage in your digital wallet, and you want to cash out 100 million usd.

1) Are Coinbase and Gemini your only convenient options? Will they be able to cash out such a large sum, and send the proceeds to your financial institutions without issues?  

2)
FDIC insurance only covers up to 250k per bank account. So, you would need more than four hundred accounts in order to cover all 100 million dollars. Is there a better way? Can you just send all 100 million directly to your Vanguard brokerage account? How do the ultra-wealthy do it??

3) What would happen if you suddenly sent a hundred million dollars to several banks/financial institutions? Would the IRS be immediately notified? Would your accounts get frozen? How do you avoid this?


No snarky answers, please. The above are only hypothetical examples. I don't own 5000 Bitcoin. Not even remotely close.
If you don't have that many bitcoins, then why ask such questions?
Why immediately legalize 100,000,000?
There are many jurisdictions in the world where you can legalize bitcoins and earn small taxes, but this will be done in stages so as not to attract the attention of the tax authorities. But sometimes it is better to resolve the issue of citizenship and tax residence first.

In Russia people say: “There are a lot of laws and it’s impossible to know all the laws.”
Do you know what an analogy is? If I don’t want to read long instructions, I can ask for a tax return from a partner with approximately the same tax situation and fill it out according to the sample. Of course I read some pages of long instructions when filling out a tax return.
I know the principles of taxation and if errors in the tax return do not affect the amount of tax, or affect only slightly, then in my country there are no penalties for this. They will call me to the tax office and give me a deadline to submit an amended return and pay additional tax.
probably but i think albert einstein has a famous quote about keeping things as simple as possible but no simpler than necessary i guess that doesn't apply to countries taxing their citizens though huh? maybe you can find the quote.

what's wrong with just a flat tax so everyone pays the same percent no matter if they are an individual or business? then you could reduce your tax code down to one sentence and save alot of trees in the process. of course that would put alot of tax "professionals" out of work. so they wouldn't want that.
There are global accounting standards on the basis of which experts evaluate various global companies, their value, and so on.
But why is all this for individuals? Why do they need to know what value added tax is?
The state should be interested in individuals engaging in business, because this greatly reduces social costs. It is more profitable for the state for a citizen to do business rather than stand in lines for social benefits.

1048  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Legal Action Against Ben Armstrong on: September 28, 2023, 10:02:41 AM
If nothing else, he became the news of the day, although many people wonder who this man is and why he deserves so much attention. I have read his name a couple of times over the years on the forum, but I never got the impression that he was someone important, but just some "so-called expert" or as they call him, a crypto influencer who of course has his own token.

I also came across this name many times while browsing topics in the altcoins board, and I never thought it was this important and influential until I read about the news of his expulsion from Bitboy Crypto and Hit Network. I cannot imagine how someone who was so addicted to drugs was able to direct the masses in this way and convince major companies to hire him.
In general, whether the reason for expulsion was excessive addiction or involvement in a suspicious relationship with the FTX exchange, this person deserves the expulsion and suspension that led to his situation. At least he will pay a price (even if a little) for the losses he caused to investors because of his chitcoins.
The experience of the managers of the FTX exchange shows that drugs do not interfere with managing even a very large business when the crypto market is growing Smiley
When the cash flow decreases and winter sets in on the crypto market, a lot of interesting internal corporate stories appear.
We do not know what is happening in the inner kitchen of these companies, and the emergence of these stories reflects the deteriorating situation of management, which does not appear to the public except in the form of a tragic ending. At the same time, it is not possible to guess whether mismanagement occurs with the consent of all parties in the administration or whether it is discovered by chance. In either case, it is bad.
I believe that it is not in the interest of these companies to make these stories public because of the impact that would have. The FTX exchange may be the most prominent example, but I am sure that there is something more important happening in other companies, and no one knows when these facts may explode.
Of course, we don’t know what goes on inside companies, but we have a large practice of pyramids and scams. If a company begins to grow rapidly and is run by a young “genius,” then we understand how it will end.
Serious people invest in companies that have been operating in the markets for hundreds of years and are developing well. There are no problems with management. And for the cryptans, the manipulators created a “sandbox” in which 99% of the assets are scams, so that they would play there and not buy the assets of serious companies.

1050  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Local bitcoin exchange KYC tax is dead/exempt now? on: September 28, 2023, 09:33:47 AM
Just a question, anybody who used KYC during LBC operation all those trades under that person's name is usually filed in their database ready for request from the tax man aka IRS or HMRC (if British)

Now that local bitcoin is dead....I remember it gave people an option to delete their account. If some one did. Does that now mean any trades during its operation are not recoverable by the tax man?

Since technically nobody would be able to answer the request from LBC since no employees and the account information people had a chance to delete just before it shutdown.

does that mean any record requested from a tax office is now a dead end?

Asking for a friend ofc ofc
I will try to explain to you the principle of declaring and paying taxes.
If you received income under your law, you would be required to file a tax return and pay taxes.
If you want to cheat your tax office and reduce your tax or not pay tax at all, because they won't be able to check your income due to the closure of the exchange, then you need to be sure of this.

The entire point of this post is asking what happens to KYC when the business goes bust and there is no employees and if they delete accounts do they delete KYC information. Alot of exchanges going bust and I'm curious
I understand you, but if you want to play games with your tax office, then you must be a professional and be sure that the tax office does not have data from Local Bitcoins.
First, find out how many years the deadline for a tax crime expires in your country.
And if you consider the fact that LocalBitcoins was registered in Europe (Finland) and you made exchanges with KYC and to your bank cards, which is very unreasonable. Then you need to have more compelling excuses if government agencies ask you questions.
In Russia there are gaps in the laws, and if I work on the exchange with my KYC data, but there are no bank transfers to my bank accounts, then I can say that my data was stolen and I am innocent.

"Binance now handles about half of all trades where cryptocurrencies are directly bought and sold, down from about 70% at the start of the year, according to data provider Kaiko.

What happens to Binance will have immense implications for the crypto industry because the exchange is so big. Industry players and watchers say other exchanges would fill the void if Binance were to collapse. But in the short term, liquidity in the market could evaporate, driving the price of tokens sharply down."

but do not forget that the US Department of Justice is still investigating the Binance exchange and the main charges and fines have not yet been brought.

Thanks gents.

Yes essentially I would want a large liquidity provider that can give us a single rate based on the market rate.
Binance and P2P are good but the individuals dont have enough single point of liquidity for us to swap/exchange. So it would be good to even partner with a group that has that sum of KZT to USDT

There are a lot of large exchangers on BestChange, but first you will have to get acquainted. Large exchanges are not done the first time.

Все это цинично и плод моих фантазий, на поведение Виталика на форуме дает право делать такие предположения.
А чего здесь циничного, все ж нормально. Просто обсуждаем тему что и как с эфиром и чего потенциально можно ждать.
Я сам далек конечно от конспирологических теорий, однако то что вы излагаете это вполне себе реальный ход развития событий. Это как когда-то в 90-е типа назначали смотрящего. Ну вполне себе может быть и такое.  Ничего же по большому счету не изменилось.
Мы тут все обсуждаем  PoS, a кто то ведь знал что он будет и что потом пойдёт концентрация стейкинга  в несколько крупнейших холдеров. Лидо вероятно тоже хорошо  контролируется в этой связке. Но как то обвинять технарей в таком сценарии неправильно, они же просто делают свое дело и неплохо. А вот ушлые финансисты конечно на этом погреют ручки свои загребущие.


На эту историю можно же посмотреть и по-другому. Джозеф Любин конечно был финансистом, и много где работал в централизованных финансовых структурах.

Однако потом он вполне мог стать ренегатом и увлечься созданием децентрализованной финансовой системы. Он же финансист. Финансисты все индивидуалисты. И он вполне мог сообразить, что в современной финансовой системе ему расти больше некуда. Все позиции уже заняты.

А тут на базе криптовалюты с развитой системой смарт-контрактов, можно создать свою систему децентрализованных финансов и вдоволь половить рыбку так сказать в мутной воде, потому что в отсутствии государственного регулирования, всё это очень похоже на Дикий Запад.

И здесь можно применять старые схемы, которые давно запрещены в традиционных финансах. Но Джозеф Любин, как профессионал о них конечно великолепно знал.

Одна история  взаимодействия эфириума и EOS чего стоит ...

А почему ушли другие сооснователи тоже понятно. Они же технари, и изначально в финансах не разбирались. А Джозеф Любин их научил этому. Они же работали в тесной связке с ним.  Они поняли, что можно создать монету с нуля, и обогатиться на этом. И поняли всю механику этого процесса. Почему бы им не создать убийцу Эфириума в такой ситуации? Иметь всё, лучше чем иметь только часть.
Есть еще много факторов, после которых у Виталика поперло. Без поддержки такое не делается. А поперрло,потому что в него вложились банкиры.
Чарльз Хоскинс хотел монетизировать эфириум и делать удобной для корпоративного рынка а Гэвин Вуд делать систему максмально децентрализованной, поэтому все разбежались по своим углам.
1056  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The ATISFY Project Is Suspected to Be a ShitCoin on: September 27, 2023, 12:54:39 PM
The project owner's lack of information about the team, coupled with no one overseeing the wallet linkage for actual usage, or perhaps just for swapping, raises concerns about whether this project is a worthwhile investment of time. With only a website in place and lacking the community engagement channels that other projects typically have, it appears to be quite limited in scope.
This is the project's website: https://atisfy.io/

I don’t know what kind of project this is, but if you need to swap tokens, then I recommend using well-known projects such as Uniswap, 1 inch and others. They support many blockchains and information about the developers is available on the Internet.
I traded a lot on https://app.rango.exchange/

На мой взгляд это более рациональное решение, чем эти постоянные аукционы на слоты парачейнов с привлечением средств пользователей т.к. поддержка валидаторам действительно необходима, особенно во время медвежьего цикла. А пользователей лучше привлекать рабочей экосистемой, а не возможностью получить очередной дроп от проекта и обещаниями. Рад что Гевин Вуд пересмотрел свое мнение на счет развития Polkadot.

1059  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: P2P Scams : Where does the government stand on: September 27, 2023, 12:31:36 PM
This is good timing about this inquiry since Binance already launch program dedicated o fight this scammers on P2P. They are now giving reward to every P2P scammer that you spotted by reporting them on this form https://www.binance.com/en/survey/728ee8020925499ea62224c4a7cd3d8d.

You can have extra tokens by reporting this scammers! I believe this will reduce scammers since everyone will be eager to report them while they have funds that can be seized by Binance once report is proven.

The program is called Anti-Scam Ninja Program
What is this $5 reward anti-scam program? This makes me laugh.
Fraudsters work on Binance using other people’s personal data, and to combat fraud, you need to verify your identity every week using a video call. In the meantime, as long as it remains possible to work on crypto exchanges using someone else’s documents, fraud will continue.

Yeah, the amount of reward is laughable but the disadvantage for scammer that will be report was their funds will be seize despite they are using different identity. You will need to escrow your balance to Binance once you create a buy&sell order on Binance P2P.

Reporting the scammer while he/she has an existing order will surely trap his balance and seize it by the exchange. I think this is what Binance thinking on this program but I really agree that reward is too low for the trouble.


Has Binance P2P changed its rules and now the buyer needs to make a bank transfer of dollars or euros to the exchange account?
In this case, it is very difficult to commit fraud, but it will also be difficult for users to work with the crypto exchange.
Not all banks like it when users frequently transfer and receive money from crypto exchanges and block accounts for verification.
