Very short term, who knows.

Being around $2500 for most of this month is the best that could happen to consolidate this price range (2k-3k). Medium-Long term it mostly depends on how the scaling issue is handled: If they are finally able to solve scaling in a non-contentious way the price will moon way higher than anyone could predict, with a huge pump right after things are clear and a continuous rise until the end of year.

Good to know. When that happenned the price was under $2000. He haven't even logged on after that night.

AFAIK, the last time Killerpotleaf posted anything was a night in which he went full retard posting *lots* of memes about an incoming huge hapening. A couple days later the biggest Bitcoin pump started. I want to think he meant a huge PUMP was going to happen and not the opposite. It would be sad if he sold thinking a huge dump was going to happen.

Yep. I do have some, so I have some interest here, but even if I didn't, I would be very glad it could take that Ripple scam out of the second position. I don't say ETH because, well, that is totally out of reach. LTC is helping bitcoin as a testbed for Segwit. Maybe in the future it will contribute testing some other developments before Bitcoin integration.

That's easy to explain: When Bitcoin is over past ATH and the weekend comes there's no remaining FIAT on exchanges. When a BIG dump comes during the week, there's LOTS of FIAT on the exchanges from the people that sold higher.

$200? Wow, that more than double its regular price. Maybe I should be investing in reselling hardware wallets instead of buying coins lol

Do you have any source where I can find more information about that alpha password manager for ledger nano s? Or maybe you are referring to FIDO U2F?

I haven't really tried Trezor as a wallet yet. It seems that the web app only supports BTC and for anything else it requires the installation of some standalone app. I am on Linux.

Anyway, the wallet function of the Trezor I only needed as a backup to my Ledger as I am more than happy with how it works. But I wanted the Trezor for the password manager... Have anyone else been able to use the Trezor password manager on Kraken and Poloniex? If so, could you share how did you configure it to work with those sites? Thanks!

I would prefer if this candle finish being red at around $2800. That way I won't have to hear for some time that argument about the 9 green candles in a row.

Litecoin heading to a new ATH after 4 years...

Volume traded past 24h bigger than BTC at $1.4Billion

Also, unlike what usually happen with ETH, LTC rise isn't harming BTC the slightly, it is even rising at very good rate.

Why do you keep changing accounts? Maybe you should change that cryptic style of posting too so that it isn't that obvious.  Most of time it doesn't make any sense anyways.

Yes, It does have a password manager, something Ledger doesn't have. After some more intensive testing I have found out that it does work in about half of the sites I do use. It will save me some time, but I hope the pasword manager function (which is an exclusive feature of Trezor) will get more polished in the future and, at least, work on all major cryptocurrency related websites.

If only the password manager function worked flawlessly it would be enough reason to have one even if not into cryptocurrencies.

It was totally expected that LTC would moon. Also in the past few days satoshilite has resigned from Coinbase to fully devote to Litecoin. LTC will be traded on Bitstamp on monday, which is another bullish factor... but Bitstamp doesn't have LN implemented yet, just regular trading and transactions.

I am not so sure many Bitcoiners will do that right now. Most probably already did when LTC announced it was implementing Segwit as a matter of showing support to Segwit (at least thats what I did).

I can't even imagine how much will Bitcoin rise when Segwit approval is a sure thing and all scaling issues are finally solved.

Of course you can legally not pay taxes (or pay much less). But not in the ways are being discussed here.

Look at Roger Ver, he even left the USA nationality and became a citizen of Saint Kiss and Nevis (whatever that is).

There are ways, but none of them are simple nor cheap.

It's all for scientific purposes... and you know it!

Being explainable doesn't avoid you having to fully explain it. Of course once you are increasing your official net worth (paying taxes et all) you already have a track record that is not suspicious anymore.

Anyways, what dabs was suggesting is trying to make them believe that all his Bitcoins were bought in the last few months without any sound proof of where did he get the cash to buy it, from whom (unidentified individuals), etc...

And THAT, will be a real nightmare that most probably wouldn't end well.

Well it depends on many things. I will explain with an extreme example:

- Let's see you are unemployed and have not had any official income for the past 5 years.
- YOu don't really care because you have a few thousand BTC you bought in 2010.
- Now you decide to cash out 500BTC or 1 million eur. you send the coins to the exchange and withdraw to your bank.
- You pay the capital gains on it on your declaration.
- Very probably you raise suspicions and get audited. It is even very possible it even hapenned as soon as the bank received that sum and informed the tax office. Then money is put on hold.
- You have perfect proof of everything... Probably they don't understand it fully and you need to present notarised translated documents. Maybe even some expert witness report explaining the moves, etc...
- Trouble, trouble... in this case you will probably be free to go, but not before a lot of headache.

Unexplained wealth is the reason. And it is on you to prove it didn't come from illicit activities and to pay the proper tax on it.

Yep. It is already VERY HARD to make them believe how some little money have growed so much in a few years even if you have records of every transfer to the exchanges, every purchase/trade, etc etc.... even with perfect proofs it will raise suspicions if the amount of money is sizeable (let's see enough to buy a cheap property, which you need to first convert to banking fiat and pay taxes). If you add an incredible story with no real valid proof.... that's trouble.

I am always talking about sizeable amounts. If we are talking about only a few thousands, nobody will give a shit about it. The real risk begins in the tens of thousands, is almost a sure thing in the hundreds of thousands, and is a completely sure thing if we are talking about millions (maybe unless you are so rich now that your official net worth is already in the millions of previously taxed banking fiat/real state/etc).

I understand your point, and maybe in your country that would work... But let's see what would happen in Spain (and probably MANY other countries):

- You say all were purchases one month ago, Ok. With WHICH MONEY? Ok, you say cash... why did you have so many cash outside the banking system are you a criminal??? Where does it come from?

- Anyway... You couldn't have make any single purchase of BTC for cash in excess of 3.000€ (legal limit for cash purchases). But then you say... ok, one BTC at a time is under that limit... ok
But then you can't say FROM THE SAME GUY, also you can't say it was 50 purchases in a few months of one BTC each from 50 different guys, because that would be SMURFING/STRUCTURING.

And, again, where did you obtain those 50 * 2000 = 100.000€ in first place? I don't see it in your tax reports....

- Also, you mention you can show records... Ok, let's see those records... Do you have any banking receipts for the deposits to the exchanges? Oh no, it was cash.. ok ok... Well, I am sure you have signed receipts from the individuals you purchased those BTC, don't you? With enough data so that we can also raise an audit on them and check the coherence of your claims.

I could go on and on about how much the tax office has growth its power and methods of control. Maybe not in your country, and maybe you are lucky and they never notice (which doesn't mean it was risk free) but just saying that it's not that easy to avoid big trouble in the future if you don't comply from the beginning.

What if your BTC stash is worth a few millions some day... Do you think your story, without any sound proof of it, will stand?

Yep. But they were talking about declaring that one of the last purchased BTC (at a much higher buying price) is the one being sold. That completely ignores FIFO (First In First Out) that I supposse is a standard on most western countries.

Who cares about ASICBOOST? As long as Segwit is implemented and the scalling issue is closed Bitcoin will skyrocket. If Bitmain keeps having an advantage over other miners by using ASICBOOST is mainly a miner's problem. I am only against ASICBOOST in that it has been the reason for blocking progress on Bitcoin. Other than that I don't really care.
