That would indeed be chill. For I hope later on that I can walk into a store and can simply pay with Bitcoins. Because it is now clear yet and that's a pity.
Many people also do not know what Bitcoins are.

You mean if he accepts bitcoin it would be easier for him to get away with committing tax fraud, and if you were him you would surely accept bitcoin so that you could commit tax fraud?

Aceepting Bitcoin is NOT tax fraud as bitcoin is NOT money, the EU courts have already stated this and there is no tax on bitcoin.

If he then spends the bitcoin he is absolutely fine, whichever way you want to try and look at it.

If he sells the bitcoins for cash/fiat via electronic transfer, he should really declare this as income which would be taxable once above his countries threshold, which is of course viewable by gov if done with electronic transfer.

As he can pay himself any amount of bitcoin he pleases in salary as it is NOT money,
it will have absolutely nothing to do with his businesses finances, as it is NOT money.

Accepting bitcoin is the same as accepting buttons for payment, and then paying yourself those buttons.

If he sells his BTC for cash there is also no record of any income, although i doubt this income would be taxable, unless a considerable amount.

in comparison, do you declare any income you receive when you sell your old items ?
i very much doubt it.

selling bitcoin for cash is just the same as selling old toys out the attic.

So... what you are saying is that you are so much of a sheep that you believe anything that the government tells you?  Just because someone in some government office says that Bitcoin isn't a currency doesn't automatically make it so.  It is against their best interest to have some other currency that gives the power to the people rather than the central banks who funds them.

It would be very difficult to find a dentist who prefers bitcoin.
Hope you get one soon. Let me know.

Not looking for anything besides arguments. I have one dentist, and several appointments for next week. Incidentally, I just found one:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1362868.0

If taxis accept BTC in Budapest, my dentist may have heard about it, and that will sure help convince him that BTC is real money, and that he should accept it.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

I honestly don't know whether or not if your Dentist will take bitcoin. Let's just look at a financial perspective. Let's assume the dentist has a basic understanding of bitcoin and agrees to render services in exchange for your bitcoin. What if there is a unexcepted fluctuation and the price of bitcoin goes down? You can also assume the price of bitcoin could go up. At the end of the day, it would just be so easier to give physical fiat money.

P.S No harm in asking, right?  Grin

At the end of the month, I'll fly to Budapest for some heavy dental work, and I'm planning to pay with BTC. Has anyone ever paid his/her dentist with BTC? The dentist I'll see mostly has foreign patients traveling to Hungary because it's much cheaper, so BTC would be convenient for many of them. Any argument I could use to convince my dentist?

Why u dont exchange your money on dollars/euros?  Huh

I suppose you haven't noticed (please, pay more attention), but this board is about BTC. The people here do not want to change their BTC into any fiat currency. We want to use to use BTC everywhere and everyday, including when going to the dentist.

I sure that dentist can not pay with bitcoin because in budapest still few people using bitcoin. Cheesy
That is right. Not many people use Bitcoin so much. I think many people dont even know what Bitcoin is.
And there are not many shops that accept Bitcoin and that is not so good. I hope later that more shops will accept Bitcoin.

If the dentists knows bitcoin maybe he'll probably say yes but you can always withdraw your btc so you can pay him actual money Smiley

Wish I could pay my dentist in BTC. Hopefully the near future will hold such things as this for most places.

For those saying that dentists are this or that and won't accept Bitcoins... There are quite a few who already do, and I remember reading a couple years back about a dentist being one of the first accepting Bitcoin and one of the first people in the medical business doing so. Since I can't link that one (not sure where I read about it), here goes other dentists accepting Bitcoin:

http://bitcoin.travel/listings/emident/ (In Budapest, curiously)
http://www.dcdclinic.org/ (these apparently do too, although no mention of it on their website)
https://meidanklinikka.fi/ (These accept Bitcoin too)

And there's also this

Just searching for dentists+bitcoin gives us some options.

Also, OP, what do you understand by "heavy dental work"? And why is it worth it to fly to Budapest just for that? Prices must be really, really good and the service top notch...

Also, and I'm not trying to be mean here, why necessarily pay with bitcoin? I understand going there for the prices, but still.
