Actually the more important question is not about any of that, it is all about the price of bitcoin. ...

21 million coins won't be the final limit. Majority will eventually agree to keep btc block rewards at a sustainable level.

I sincerely believe we can anticipate a chain-split revolving around this issue come early/mid 2030's; One side would stick to the supply cap and the other side would eliminate all remaining halvings

You are not the only one here, there many other people receiving a few amount of satoshis into their wallets for no reason. After a quick research, I saw mostly high rank and old forum members are receiving these satoshis. Here is another forum member talking about this case: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275441.0
I would suggest you to read this topic here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5175238.0) by @fillippone, where he explained about dust attack.

Hi there!
I think my old computer has some BTC in it but it's an REALLY old computer (since 2009 I think),
what's the most useful - risk free way to check if I do have any bitcoins in it?
It wont start, I mean it does but crashes

Help - I am the recipient of a transfer that was never received from 2 years ago. It shows incoming to my Bitcoin Core Wallet but status is 0/unconfirmed and not in memory pool. The tx id does not show up on blockchain and other sites as if it does not exist. But again it shows incoming, is it possible sender sent transaction then double spent or completely low balled fee to void transaction? Wouldn't that still show a record of txid?? I have also been researching CPFP but cant figure out how to execute it in BC. Any ideas or Help would be greatly appreciated!

Until such time I found the Binance Blog that it is impossible from a characteristic of a woman become a crypto enthusiast.

Let me elaborate you on what content in the article in some important points and reason why women aren't in crypto and Satoshi isn't a female in gender.

• Women are not interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency
• Women are not skilled in investing in crypto
• Blockchain companies are not women-friendly
• Women don't occupy top positions in blockchain
• Women cannot contribute to blockchain development

I don't like this slippery slope argument. Sure, there are a lot of forked coins, but we can be reasonable here. Some exchanges refused to credit their users with BSV. BSV is #14 in market cap. This is significant. Just because you allow a user to use their #14 ranked coin does not mean you need to give them access to #1,400. I am not opposed to a reasonable handling fee by the exchange that covers the costs associated with crediting their users the coins from the split.

Usa will find new dollar backer
If not whole usa dollar will crash down but bidden will do it
Good backer better then gold or oil
With this new backer usa dollar will go strong

The dollar is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. It's always worked because the US has never defaulted on its debt. It'll work until the US defaults on its debt or until people believe that the US can not service the debt. At the rate that it's growing the debt, that may be sooner than later.

Thanks all for the answers!

It is definitely a significant amount of money, so I am really concerned about doing things right from the beginning! I don't think I want to declare it as "other income", not to run into the risk of raising suspects about it being dirty money (this is also true when moving a large sum from an exchange to my local bank account I guess). And I am totally OK with paying taxes on the whole sum ($0 cost basis), as it won't significantly affect taxes in my case.

I would assume that not all tax advisors are equally qualified on this specific topic: are there any sufficiently experienced that somebody can suggest?

Old code:  Array { 1,2,3,4,5 }
New code: Array { { 1,2,3,4,5 } }

Every C/C++ compiler before 2011:
Code: Array = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }

After 2011:
Old code:  Array = { 1,2,3,4,5 } // this still works
and
Array{ {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} }

I've lost my wallet.dat file and forgotten my password, but I do have my public address.

I think CO2 has been commandeered as the go to metric for environmental impact because it occurs in a wide range of scaled processes. But it does paint a really incomplete picture of the situation. Perhaps a more holistic indicator could be something like environmental entropy production. Some metric that describes the rate of environmental disordering, which stresses the regulatory mechanisms that exist in our environmental ecosystem (e.g. CO2 absorption and transformation or pollinator populations that sustain flora populations).

So lets just use "impact" as a general term for human activity disordering the environmental state. Whilst the Bitcoin consumes electricity, it provides a valuable service. That is the security consensus of the PoW method which is enforced by thermodynamics. Some form of environmental impact in the form of electricity consumption, hardware manufacturing, etc. is of course acceptable. The amount of impact should be equal to the intrinsic value of processes that Bitcoin is used for (currently speculative, but the implementation horizon is fast approaching).

i agree, and i reckon that's why there is an exemption for publicly listed securities. the regs obviously weren't written with bitcoin in mind. i'd like to think that exemption will eventually be expanded to include cryptocurrencies, though i wouldn't hold my breath.
considering the detail required on form 8283 and the legal liability they are taking on, i'm curious---what do you think a fair price would be?

$120 for a single donation (https://cryptoappraisers.com) isn't ridiculous---that's significantly less than 1 hour of billed time from a competent CPA. considering you're avoiding any capital gains taxes and also deducting the entire amount of the donation, $120 seems like an afterthought, especially if you're donating higher amounts.

gifting long term capital gain property = extremely lucrative tax breaks. if they just allowed large untaxed noncash donations without any documentation, that could be abused left and right, so they put the onus on the taxpayer to prove it.

I've done this.  You need an appraiser. E.g. https://cryptoappraisers.com/  (like ... maybe you can get away without one, but that seems ill advised.)

You can do it somewhat more efficiently if you're going to make many donations to do a large amount at once to a Donor Advised fund, e.g. Fidelity Chartable and then make further donations out of the trust-- because then you just have a single bitcoin donation.

It's also advantageous to make a larger amount of donations in the same tax year because you can't write off the donation while using the (now pretty large) standard deduction-- so it's better to donate all at once in one year, don't use the standard deduction in that year, and then in other years continue to use the standard deduction.

Yeah, very true! That is why I always convert my bitcoin to other digital currencies like XRP and BCH before withdrawing because I can reduce the transaction fee in this process.

*not tax advice*
I understand that the appraised fair market value would be the price of bitcoin times the number of bitcoin you are donating.
My advice would be to contract with a tax professional who is familiar with your individual tax situation to help you fill out this form.

Part I, Information on Donated Property

You must get a written appraisal from a qualified appraiser before completing Part I.

...

Firstly i am not american netizen but im curious about this so in there when you want to donate you should fill out form   why you just deposited into their address anonymously just tell the charity owner

I have observed many times whenever there is rise in the price it will proportionally increase the fees as well.
