The problem should be solved if you withdraw your coins and store them yourself, if you dont want to deal with the regulations.

My question on this matter is: How the hell are they even going to do it?
I realize they could find out if you own X BTC because you bought them from an exchange where they need your credentials, or from an BTC ATM machine where the machine asks for even fingertips.. but let's say you have a business as a freelance and accept BTC (with no public data linked to your BTC address where you get paid), let's say you have a successful mining operation going thats giving you profits, or even let's say you are making a couple bucks a month throught sig campaings and faucets and end up with a decent amount... how are they going to link to you all that BTC and try to tax it, if it never left the BTC ecosystem and the addresses aren't linked to your personal data?

It could go both ways after this month, according to some indicators, but this is all mental masturbation anyway, what matters is the price in 2025, and that is going to be a lot higher than it is now, anyone with basic knowledge about how to read the world will know this fact already.

The People of Greece might want to take it a step further and exchange their bitcoins for XMR. This allows for instant, anonymous transactions.  The tech could be layered right on top of any "e-card" the Greek government issues.  Even without that layer, all they would have to do is get their own wallet and use that with other people who only use their own wallets, such that the .gov has no idea if they are Greek, Americans, or Martians.

I've been waiting for the Winklevoss brothers ETF for what seems an eternity now. What are they waiting for? Now it's a great time to announce such thing, with the current tasty low BTC price a lot of money will flow in.

I've been there too. Parts of Argentina are breathtakingly beautiful and I wish you all felicity for your trip if anyone here goes.

If you plan on using dollar denominated credit cards you will also pay a fine or tax for using it. Argentina wants to see the world currency, the USD, knocked off its pedestal and be replaced with a basket of currencies which includes its own within their own trade agreements, but its unclear that they will succeed at this as we can se... China conducts trade using a basket of currencies which also includes gold and silver.

Great news. Who will be the first to test it out? Not me tho, don't wanna risk my small-time BTC stack

Expected a dumb comment that misses the point on where we are at today with Bitcoin.
Left satisfied.

PS: This video is how I feel when I try to explain Bitcoin to morons that do not get it:

I use Bitcoin Core for the main stack and simply send the coins im going to need if I go out to the mycellium one on the phone or whatever. It's like getting money out of the bank (Core) and putting it into the wallet (smartphone).

We are all satoshi spawning bitcoin throught the conscience network, the open source coded got uploaded on the internet out of nowhere.

There will be something to sell, it has to, otherwise bitcoin wouldn't work... bitcoin is infinitely divisble, what will happen is smaller amounts will get sold by a lot more price.

Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with these?  Don't they understand how critical it is for Europe to continue to receive a reliable flow of energy from Russia if they're to maintain their fortitude with regard to the sanctions they've established against Russia?  You'd think this would be obvious and that they'd have a little more consideration for the pressures the EU and US elite are under right now - there's a lot Russia could do to help out the EU and the US, I don't know why they're being so obtuse and uncooperative.

I like some of his stuff but I hate to break it to Mr. Snowden.. a government which did not have "the ability to interfere with [our] rights" would not be a governmnet would it?   Sort of like daydreaming about water that would never drown anybody since it would not be wet.

I wish there was some sort of passive income with Bitcoin, but I can't find any ideas that would work (buying a house with BTC and renting it is not an option.. im talking about more modest passive income).

Well, you could say the same about fiat money... fiat will make anyone richer if that's their goal?
BTW, richer doesn't mean rich.. someone going from to 0 to 1 USD is already richer.

It would be great, directed by Tarantino and someone like like dj qualls playing Karpeles (after a lot of dieting tho).

I cant wait to get rid of intermediaries and go full p2p, the problem is... how do you avoid the other person running with the coins/whatever you are trading the coins for?

Primarily inflation occurs when money is created and loaned into to circulation as debt, at interest under the fractunal reserve banking system.

Primarily deflation occurs when money is extinguished and credit resticted whithdrawing money from circulation under the fractunal reserve banking system.

The central bankers regulate the volume of the currency, m-1 m-2 m-3 of the money supply and the velocity of the currency, the sum price of the commodities divided by number of the moves of the currency of the same denomination equaling amount of money serving as circulating medium by expansion and contraction of credit

This is uncharted waters for Greece. They knew joining the Euro Union would fill the pockets of corrupt 'established ' officials in Government.. the pockets have been filled ...now these corrupt people can walk away knowing full well that Nationalism can cover their corrupt past... Job well done...

Maidsafe has been crashing since it peaked at 13k. I called it out that it was a bubble and it would go to pre bubble prices, it was pretty obvious.
Dont get me wrong MaidSafe is amazing but people in general is too dumb to get their heads around it if we still didn't got them on BTC. I believe it will shine very long term but for now its not worth the risk since you could get in a lot cheaper.
