Someone on 4chan said at 2:30 AM UTC, Bitcoin will crash back to $34k.
LMAO, He single handedly rekt so many bears.
I am loving it.
Since when is 4chan a relevant source of ANYTHING related to Bitcoin? Peace out. Back to RL for a while. This place is pissing me off. Hopefully, next time I check in, we'll be above $75k, our barn will be up, and I'll be kicking back with the crew plinking on our shooting range. |

go to "American Families Plan" for effective dates. Bad (maybe good if sold beforehand) news-April 28, 2021 is the effective date for cap gains.
https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2021/06/biden-administrations-fy-2022-budget-and-its-tax-increasesFTA "The legislative pathway for enactment and effective dates are yet undetermined."
"Subject Long-Term Capital Gains and Qualified Dividend to Ordinarily Income Tax Rates. The rate applicable to long-term capital gains and qualified dividends would be increased to 39.6 percent for households earning more than $1 million. A long-term capital gain derives from assets that are held longer than a year. A "qualified dividend" is an ordinary dividend that meets specific criteria to be taxed at the current law lower capital gains rate rather than at the higher individual ordinary income tax rate."Oh good grief... So if Rick and I are retired, we can only sell $1M USD - (Bob Retirement Income Stream + Rick Retirement Income Stream), otherwise risk breaking the mental and physical fortitude I have gained so far. I moved past using Titanium Plates and thought I had mastered using Raw Existential Angst to crush my testicles, thanks to deep devotion to my meditative techniques. We're gonna need something harder... |

A total horseshit about the 15% long term cap gains in US.
Say what now? Fuck. I may need to sell a chunk sooner-than-later for... reasons... if this is indeed the case. Did a quick search online that there is some uncertainty about rate changes, and saw nothing about "15%" increase. Do you have a link to a story regarding your concerns? Having trouble mentally coming-to-terms with an increased rate on Long Term Capital Gains. Shit's way more fucked up than I ever could have imagined if that's being floated. Dear God we are all in a lot of trouble if so. EDIT: Pausing recurring daily buys for time being for... reasons EDIT2: Might have to double or triple my daily DCA value. Need a few days to mentally process this. Until then, wanna take some "stress" off the table, given the legal bullshit, and stop daily DCA spam to my mailbox from exchange and banks... EDIT3: Yeah, will probably resume DCAing once the fence goes up. Just in a "weird state" right now. I'll probably look back at this in 1 year and say "Way to go Bob. You should not have stopped DCAing for a bit, but c'est la vie..." |

Make sure you document all conversions and interactions…. Date/Time who you spoke with etc…
You don’t want to look like the aggressor in court… I don’t think the court would see it as unreasonable for them to want a second independent opinion…
Remember, going legal, only two people ever win, your lawyer and their lawyer…
Construction lead has them on recording 3 times saying we are in the right, and is willing to have his entire team of 4 other contractors on this job, testify to the problems and good-faith efforts we've made. They can't expect me to hold up construction while I wait for them, when we cleared this with everyone prior to construction. Believe me, I didn't want to force my hand, but the fellow on the other line decided to raise his voice at me, and recognized I had to go legal, while I was making them a once-in-a-lifetime offer to fix the fence, at my expense, when confronted with a valid, competing survey. All documented in email. It's out of my hands right now. |

20ft is significant enough but I'm sure they're probably basing it off what they "know" the boundary is supposed to be. Or do they have any evidence to back their claim? Annoying for sure.
They have an old title, legal description, and survey done in the 1940's, and asked me to move a marker on a 2016 survey vs their 1940s legal description. They should have challenged it in 2016 before I bought the property. Ain't gonna happen. Taking them to court over it if I have to. Either next Thurs/Friday or week after we'll be out there to meet with the Sheriff Dept. who will be keeping the peace during the fence buildout. |

How much land is in dispute?
I'm sure you'll win. Modern surveying is pretty accurate. People get funny ideas in their heads about where lines are though.
They are literally disputing about 20 feet on a single marker, that is holding up fence construction along a 1/3rd mile border segment. Offered to buy their property and was shouted down. Even offered to fix the fence at my expense, if they provide me a valid, signed and stamped survey that contests mine. They are refusing to let me proceed until they have time to get their own survey (A pointless waiting tactic that I've had enough of) Lawfare it is. |

Tied up in a legal dispute all week with a neighbor contesting my official signed and stamped survey. Had to retain a lawyer and officially get the Sheriff's Office notified and on-site for a day next week. Going to leverage my ~Lvl2 current FU status to show these irrational country fucktards what happens when they try to push a a polite, neighborly black man around, who is trying to put up a new fence. I'm prepared to launch a multi-million dollar lawsuit against these fucktards in the courts for screwing with my work crew, and at the end of all this, going to sue for court costs, and they'll need to sell me their land to cover their costs. Assholes fucked with the wrong guy. Holy crap has life been busy. Stay strong, brothers. We gonna be stupid rich soon, yo. Love (nohomo), Bob Lvl1 ~$10 mil, a serious money. If you diworsify this amount from btc into stonks like VT (not rec this by any stretch of imagination), you would get 160-180 thou/year in divvies and could borrow against your equity to get ridiculously low % loans (like LIBOR [currently 0.12%]+0.5-0.75%). Considering that VT long term appreciation rate is ~7-8%, you are fine. FU, but not really rich.
Lvl2 ~$100 mil. Money is not a problem, you can easily buy multiple residencies in nice places (at least 3-4). Easy to generate $1.5mil-1.8mil/year in divvies plus approx $7 mil (on average) in appreciation/year. With ~$7 mil of annual budget, you are 'rich' in $$ terms.

The bizarre statements follow a running gag that the 71-year-old twin brothers control the crypto markets...and the world.

In brief
- Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff claim they knew about Satoshi Nakamoto through a Japanese scientist and influenced Bitcoin’s development.
- The bold claims come years after being subject to a long-running gag in crypto that portray them as omnipotent market forces.
- French TV personalities and former theoretical physicists Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff claim they knew of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto and were involved with the creation of the cryptocurrency.
“Igor and I, as mathematicians, were able to participate in the elaboration of some of the source code, especially the ‘predictive code’,” said Grichka Bogdanoff on French TV show Non Stop People on July 1, who expanded on his claims on L'Heure des Pros on July 7.
In the early 90s, the two brothers said they worked with François Mizzi, the inventor of the touchscreen, whose lab included a Japanese scientist, Soïtchiro Shimoda, who was “someone close to the mythical person or a group of people” called Nakamoto. The Bogdanoff twins said they would often discuss ideas about a digital currency with Shimoda, though they didn’t specify any details.
What if Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly returned?
His return is imperceptible, at first a faint rumour in some dark reach of the web. A lone cybersecurity researcher uncovers curious activity on a long-dormant Bitcoin wallet, unused since 201...
The Bogdanoff twins also claimed that Nakamoto gave them two “ancient Bitcoins” in “physical form” when Bitcoin was created in 2008.
Hellmouth Banner, editor-in-chief of French crypto media outlet Journal du Coin, told Decrypt that these claims should be taken with a pinch of salt since, “in terms of credibility, [the twins] are equivalent to a scientific version of the Kardashian family.”
Who are Grichka and Igor Bogdanoff?
Physicists by training, the Bogdanoff twins rose to prominence in France as hosts of science education show XTemps during the 80s. These days, they're treated as socialites rather than scientists.
“Their atypical look and their often offbeat and original statements make them good recruits to attract audiences,” Banner said. They have been the subject of many controversies over the years, including disputes about the veracity of their academic credentials and a recent court case alleging that they scammed a bipolar millionaire.
Despite the bold claims about their involvement with Bitcoin, the twins’ passing mention of their investment in Ethereum has attracted even more attention.
There is, after all, a long-standing meme that the twins are able to control the market.
The rise of a conspiracy-meme
The brothers became a running gag in crypto following a series of parody videos in 2018 by the YouTube channel Bizonacci, which portrayed the Bogdanoffs as omnipotent market actors who conspire against an average crypto trader.
“Get Vitalik on the line,” one Bogdanoff orders in the video. “Pump Ethereum for two hours and then wake him up,” he tells an obeying Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder. Once the trader FOMOs into Ethereum, Bogdanoff orders the market to crash, and it crashes.
The popularity of the Bogdanoff meme follows an online trend that began in 2015 when a Reddit user posted a photo of the twins in the subreddit r/wtf, with the title “How do they think is attractive?!” in reference to what looks like botched plastic surgery.
In 2017, an anonymous 4chan user posted a made-up list of conspiracy theories about the Bogdanoff brothers, such as direct contact with aliens, the ability to control the French prime minister and “evidence which suggests that the Rothschilds are operating under their supervision.”
The conspiracy meme was best captured by a photo of Grichka Bogdanoff speaking on the phone. And that photo, said the Bogdanoff twins on July 1, will become an NFT soon.
"It is probably Nakamoto who made [the photo] circulate,” Igor Bogdanoff nonchalantly suggested. That photo was “in all blockchains between 2010-2012,” and it’s been downloaded more than 1.3 billion times, he claimed.
“Anyone with two hours of crypto culture can see that it's a bunch of improvised nonsense,” said Banner. But the Bogdanoffs have access to the entire Parisian intelligentsia, he added, so if they were to launch a crypto project, it could well be a success.
During the interviews, the Bogdanoff twins also announced they would launch a cryptocurrency called Exo-Coin. They didn’t share details, but if the conspiracy theories are anything to go by, the mighty Bogdanoffs will force their way to victory.
