I do not know if what he is trying to present legally in all countries or even will not expose you to the legal issue, but it is better to avoid buying such wallets, as it may be related to stealing things or hacking, and then you will be prosecuted as the culprit.

Claiming deductions that you are not entitled to, or reporting losses that you did not actually incur is a fraudulent claim and is considered tax evasion, and naturally, that's illegal.

I don't know about other countries but in the US, if you are audited you need to show transactions that prove that it was YOU who bought assets at the cost basis. I don't know if that is clear enough, not just that you have a record of those transactions but it was YOU who made them. Here is more on how cryptocurrency is taxed in the U.S. - https://www.moneyknack.com/post/44/crypto-taxes

That's regarding taxes. But be aware of a common scam which this may be a variation of.

In this type of scam, fraudsters claim to have a wallet with a large amount of cryptocurrency that they are unable to access or use, and they offer to give the wallet to someone else who can use it. When the unsuspecting victim adds their own funds to the wallet (to pay for gas fees for example to withdraw other tokens), they are actually sending their money to the scammer, who then drains the wallet using bots or other automated means.

To harvest losses you need to calculate the cost basis of an asset. To calculate the cost basis of an asset you need to have proof of purchase. Having assets that are worth nothing will not let you reduce your income.

Before you start buying NFTs, read this article - https://www.moneyknack.com/post/1/are-nfts-a-good-investment

Read at least a dozen articles about investing in NFTs on reputable publications like Investopedia. Learn why and how would an NFT appreciate in value. Understand what exactly would make it cost more in the future, rather then just hope it will.

I guess that they want to act like a bank. You give all the identity info they ask and if something happens with your account (and they can't blame it on you!  Wink) then you'll get your money back by proving (again) your identity.

I agree. Tech companies (at least in the US) have been taking on banks for a while now.

TD Ameritrade and several other big platforms restricted trades on shares of GameStop to stop volatility and artificially inflated prices by a bunch of kids from Reddit who thought they are getting rich.

If your go with Robinhood, all your gains will be accounted for, for sure. So Robinhood is not for everyone on this forum. Other than that it is a secure and robust platform, just overgrown with some conspiracy theories after GME incident.

But to each his own. Some people, for example, will not put a large chunk of money into an unregulated company in Seychelles that can pack up one day and leave with everyone's money. Some people prefer to have SIPC insurance.

... because demand is there and you could see on how big the community is that do support this coin.

It is not directed at Bitcoin but...

Collectible vinyl records, Beanie Babies, comic books, Hess trucks, post stamps, Coca-Cola memorabilia, and many others once also were solid investments, some of which lasted for many decades.

Just because many people believe in something - doesn't mean it is always be around.
8  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's Say Bitcoin is scam on: September 22, 2021, 09:24:24 PM
A scam is probably not a suitable term for Bitcoin - there is no dishonest scheme with malicious intent from those who are behind the technology.

I don't think Bitcoin will collapse, but rather will lose its popularity. Now, Bitcoin is more of an asset than a currency, like a collectible. It is worth what other people are willing to pay for it. Like Beanie babies or fine art.

It has fundamental issues that make it difficult to be adapted as currency (those "issues" are seen as "advantages" by many). If Bitcoin proves difficult to be adopted by a large portion of population, it will start dwindling down until forgotten by most.

It will still be used for transactions that people want to keep hidden from the authorities. I'd speculate this will happen in 10-15 years.

Robinhood is about to launch crypto wallets. Bitcoin trading is already commission-free with Robinhood account but you buy and sell crypto like any other stock market asset.

With crypto wallets, as I understand, it will be possible to actually trade those coins.

There is a waiting list and in my experience it takes at least a few weeks to roll out a new feature to your account but you can join the waitlist now.

Obviously, with Robinhood you will need to report your gains to IRS in the US and corresponding tax agencies in other countries.

You don't see that but this is the exact issue with "you working everything out for yourself".



Same women in both pics.

It is well known that the 'hotbeds' of what you morons call 'anti-vax' are the places where the most wealthy and technically competent people live and work.  There's a reason.  Namely, it is these people who have the background and brain-power to understand the science.


Same women in both pics? Don't even know how to go from there, are you reading this on Nokia 3310? Why is this even matter? Both are stock photos just to illustrate the silliness of the situation. But this is how you think - conspirasies in everything.

Stop romanticizing. Are you wealthy and technically competent people? Look at yourselves - most people of your mindset are like you.

Claims that mRNA vaccines are new are false, they have been under development for over 20 years.

Once again, vaccines are not a cure, they are intended to be a preventative measure. Using vaccines in a pandemic are known to escalate death and infection, and speed up the creation of variants.

You can work that out for yourselves. If a person is infected, then his immune system kicks in to protect him. If you vaccinate in the middle of this, then you increase the load on the immune system, and create confusion. This can lead to the creation of the variants we are seeing at the monent.


You don't see that but this is the exact issue with "you working everything out for yourself".

The big thing about 'vaccines' is that you can literally ship rat poison and not get in trouble because of the indemnification given to 'vaccines' alone.  Also the testing is much less rigorous, and that even before the plandemic.

It took a lot of work to arrange a world full of leaders so corrupt that they would let Big Pharma get away with calling a product a 'vaccine' which didn't even keep a person from getting, hosting, and spreading the virus for which it is, on the label, suppose to target.

Researchers around the world have been working hard to develop vaccines from the start of the pandemic. They were able to speed up development thanks to the collaboration between them, scientists, manufacturers and distributors. Find out more below.

Claims that COVID-19 vaccines are "experimental", have skipped animal testing, and have not completed initial research trials are false. FDA quote - RNA vaccines have been held to the same rigorous safety and effectiveness standards as all other types of vaccines in the United States. Here is a long read from FDA - https://www.fda.gov/media/139638/download

In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration, or the TGA, has been rigorously assessing the potential COVID-19 vaccines for safety, quality, and effectiveness - https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-vaccines

In the UK, vaccines were rigorously tested, licensed, and monitored by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) - https://www.tga.gov.au/covid-19-vaccine-approval-process

And this list can go on.

You clearly lack the knowledge or more likely the intelligence to understand that this also occurs in every vaccine that you have already done when you were a kid. Vaccinations are our only way out of the disease, unless we want to achieve herd immunity by having every single person get infected.

No different than any coronavirus (seasonal common cold) throughout history (excepting ones which were possible developed in labs.)  Said coronaviruses (seasonal sniffles) last a month or two until a certain relatively high percentage of the population is exposed in an area just as did SARS-cov-2.  They don't have a '2nd wave' and neither did SARS-cov-2.  Most people who were exposed experience nothing but do develop antibodies which protect them against it and similar strains ('variants') for life.

The one thing that has been uniform through the whole year and a half of the plandemic has been a dedicated ignoring of the background infection rate.  It was running around 20% in the tests which were done in early 2020 in Western U.S. a few months into this thing.  Now were I am at in S.E. Asia it seems to be over 50%.  We who had the infection don't need the jab because we have life-long immunity which is broad enough to cover the new strains.  Interestingly, as well as not giving immunity to SARS-cov-2, the jab actually destroys antibodies and makes previously immune individuals suceptable to a 2nd infection from SARS-cov-2 (the original 2020 strain being now extinct anyway.)

'They' made a subtle shift from 'covid' to 'cases' in order to get more 'waves'.  Anyone who had a SARS-cov-2 infection and didn't even know it back in 2020 will come up hot on a PCR test today due to dead nucleotide remnants and the like if using the PCR test calibrated for panic.  They got the '2nd wave', '3rd wave', etc simply by testing people.  

About 12 years ago they got a year long pertussis 'outbreak' in some hospital in the U.S. with shutdowns, contact tracing, isolation, vaccinations, etc by mis-using PCR.  At the end of things there were exactly zero cases of pertussis ever.  That looks more and more like an experiment and a test run considering how they managed the scamdemic.

Kary Mullis, the inventor of PCR and who won a prize for his work, was screaming from the roof-tops that 'they' were mis-using his invention to pull scams.  He called Dr. Fausti out by name as a fraudster.  If Mullis had lived another few months he would certainly have been calling out the 40+ cycle threshold 'casedemic' scam out in no uncertain terms.  That's probably why he happened to have died a few months before the plandemic kicked off.


Not going to respond to your twaddle as it is as usual full of stray facts that you pulled out of your ass.

More than 4,220,776 people are already dead from "sniffles". You don't believe that because it hasn't touched you personally.

You are from South-East Asia and it is just starting in there.



I hope they will take it under control and enough people will be vaccinated before the spread - the opportunity which other countries didn't have.

But just know this. People may die because they believe your opinions. You will be responsible for their death.

mRNA vaccines are not new, they have been under development for over 20 years. It's just that they don't work. Also the spike protein doesn't always stay in the muscle tissue, but can escape and float round the body, before settling in important organs. There is no research or information on the effect this will have, but it is certainly not beneficial.
...

Just to note, a bigger concern is not so much about the spike proteins themselves (made by genetically modified muscle cells) floating around, but more so about the LNPs which carry the genetic reprogramming payloads homing in on certain tissues and thus infecting certain cell types which are found here and there around the body.  These LNPs have been shown (by Pfizer to Japan before it was leaked) to have an affinity for both the spleen and the ovaries.

Now, for the last half decade or so I remember various scientism rag stories about 'new targeted drug delivery systems'.  News from that front went oddly quite for a year or so before the plandemic kicked off.  It's not the only thing which is big news to geeks then suddenly practically vanishes without a trace.  One of these days I'll look back and see if it were LNPs or related which were of such interest back then.



I clicked "unwatch" this thread. Why is this sourceless insane delirium still gets emailed to me?

I understand how they work, and they are a step closer to the use of the live virus. I just don't understand why they don't use the live virus to create natural immunity. Oh wait, there isn't any money in that.

You don't understand how mRNA vaccines work.


After vaccination, the cells make copies of the spike protein, and the mRNA is degraded within a few days and the spike proteins last only up to a few weeks.

Seems beertoll did not get the message that the great covid war is already decided, and he lost.

And this is a very good illustration of what I meant by "just spew random stuff". So I hope Porfirii you will understand why I think this is a waste of time.
19  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: July 31, 2021, 06:59:29 PM
You beertoll and Ultegra134 are using the antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist labels and, although with many people you are right, you should not take a black-and-white approach as this is not my case as I am not against vaccines, just want to wait and see a little bit before deciding to get the jab safely and I just don't accept any Government making it mandatory in this phase without further testing, as it would set a very dangerous precedent.

First of all, I'm not aware of near-zero risk groups. Even in young people, there can be a form of brain damage. COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis.

As I am young and the risk for me to die from covid is near zero (estimated 0,2%), if you are not aware of near-zero risk groups you should, especially when you say that we only read whatever fits our established beliefs. I am aware of the risks of the virus, of course, but the vaccine has reported side effects too, with several deaths from strokes and thrombosis among others (a few days ago a young boy of 21 years died from the vaccine in my country). 1st rule in medicine: do not harm.

That's because vaccination of the population is a conspiracy in your head and you think there is a secret "agenda". No, it hasn't started in the past 10 years. The growing list of mandatory vaccination requirements for children and certain professions was in place many decades ago. Many of you fully vaccinated anti-vaxxers don't have terrible diseases like polio because of the mandatory vaccinations.

I know well the polio as one familiar of mine got it when there wasn't any vaccine for it. The effects in children of these diseases you posted are devastating, nothing to do with Covid, and even in the case of the polio vaccine, when it was released for the first time, many millions of doses were contaminated by HPV, which wasn't known in that moment, with millions of women dying from womb cancer derivated from the vaccination  10 or even more than 20 years after it.

With these precedents, you should at least understand that some people prefer to wait and see, especially when the typical minimum timeline for any drugs to be safe has been reduced by 10 times with these brand new vaccines: you talk about trusting the scientific community when they are not meeting the proper observation criteria which are the fundamentals of the scientific method.

No need to be an anti-vaxxer nor a conspirathy theorist to have a healthy critical mindset.

In none of my responses to you, I labeled you or used the term anti-vaxxer. I mentioned people who are against vaccines in general that are fully vaccinated but are not aware of it. My replies to you are thorough and non-haughty. I share my opinions with you in a dialogue without any attacks. I used the anti-vaxxer term only with people who mention big pharma in every post and imply that their government wants to poison them, not in replies intended to you. The quotes you've highlighted or mentioned are the responses to other people's posts as you can see.

Before this reply of yours, I said that I understand when people base their fears on the fact that it is a new vaccine and that some people prefer to wait and see. And now after you saying "...you should at least understand that some people..." I think you've missed that reply. That reply has information on some misunderstandings about the rapid timelines and safety of these vaccines, why the corners weren't cut and why the long terms effects are unplausible, and why it is riskier to wait that vaccinate. The original reply - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5294239.msg57582041#msg57582041

Totally agree with, "No need to be an anti-vaxxer nor a conspiracy theorist to have a healthy critical mindset" but many people say that they have critical mindset. Oftentimes people think that when they go against common knowledge or authorities or established science is because they have critical mindset.

Regarding your quote, "if you are not aware of near-zero risk groups you should, especially when you say that we only read whatever fits our established beliefs", I'm aware of low-risk groups and the 0.20 percent of people dying is not near zero to me. And I never heard that someone else would call it near zero. Here is an illustration, in a college that has 5000 students, 10 young people may die (0.2%). Again, this is not near zero to me. Also realize that they will bring the virus to their family members who may have a higher risk of dying and hospitalization.


P. S. People with truly critical mindsets will be able to make the right choices. I believe that you are one of them and you just need to keep relying on sources of scientific evidence. Writing thorough responses takes time, and although some people enter into a dialogue, some just spew random stuff. I don't see a value in responding to most of those comments and going to spend my time on something useful. I'm unsubscribing from this thread and apologize if I won't see your reply and won't reply to you.

P. P. S. Look at the comment below which is a perfect example of "people just spew random stuff". So I hope Porfirii you will understand why I think this is a waste of time.

once again, vaccines don't kill viruses, thet attempt to prime your immune system so that antibodies, killer "t" cells and other defence mechanisms can kill the virus, or disable it. vaccination during a pandemic just helps the virus by overloading the immune system.

Misinformation alert.
