I’m really not happy at the thought of paying 20%, that sucks man. Why should I pay so much money when the majority of my coins were bought for so little.

The government does not deserve to take so much from us.

It is what it is. I priced it in from the off. And it can be much, much worse in other places. Ireland's 33% I think.

If I change my mind I have my eyes on this palace - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/overseas-property/property-88276847.html?currencyCode=GBP  but need to get my skates on before going abroad results in gammons stoning you to death.

Breaking News:U.S. Congress proposes that Crypto transactions below $200 shall be free from taxes!.

Quote
139 G.Gain from disposition of virtual currency

(a)In general
Gross income of an individual shall not include gain, by reason of changes in exchange rates, from the disposition of virtual currency in a personal transaction (as such term is defined in section 988(e)). The preceding sentence shall not apply if the gain which would otherwise be recognized on the transaction exceeds $200.

(b)Virtual currency
For purposes of this section, the term virtual currency means a digital representation of value that is used as a medium of exchange and is not otherwise currency under section 988.

pdf



That would be great if that goes through.  I have made a few small purchases that have been annoying to keep track of (esp. cost basis for coins, I use FIFO accounting).  The larger purchases (gold) I kept careful track of because they were larger transactions.

Tiny purchases with BTC should be tax-free, the man-hours of doing the accounting are maddening.


even if congress passes it (I doubt it), POTUS would surely veto it (on advise of Sec Treas).

yea, in US it is similar (up to 20%) on longer term cap gains. 10% would have been more decent, but, whatever.
Brits have one up on us with all that offshoring business. No such thing (except weird Puerto Rico situation) for US citizens.
IF you love that future extra 15-20% so much that you want to live in PR at least 183 days/year, then...
I won't.

I was looking at living costs in The Philippines earlier. I thought about nutildah (no homo) & had a little look.

It’s so fucking cheap.

Eh, it's the price of living in a moderately civilized society. If I was located in a dumpster like Syria or insert name of lawless hellhole I would think differently, but how many of us bitcoiners really live in Detroit?

I refuse to move anywhere sweaty. And though I don't know how sweaty it is there it's certainly close enough to other places filled with people sweating to raise my suspicions to Defcon 1.

I could buy a rotating army of small Filipinos to sit in fridges and then run out and press themselves against me until they warm up, but I think I'd rather stay put and incur a bit more expense.

Where is the world it is pleasantly warm, but not hot at least 8-9 mo/year?
A sea and or a lake is required, preferably english speaking (at least in a large part) populace.
I cannot think of anywhere apart from few small places in The Caribbean, with a threat of hurricanes, etc.
I've been through several hurricanes already, it's a thing to avoid if possible.
Without considering language, I was also thinking about Greece (including Corfu), some Mediterranean islands (Crete, etc.), maybe Canary islands.
Maybe I should learn Spanish or Portuguese, finally.

Suggestions?

Good evening guys,

enjoying some greek wine and observing $8660... You guys with me?!
No! Far away from the greek wines and beaches. Not even close to your moon. Jupiter here! Equivalent of the Greek Zeus! Festivals of viniculture and wine were devoted to Jupiter.

Hawaii. Side of the volcano, pick your elevation and you can pick your climate. Then a few minutes to either the summit and wearing a winter jacket, or to the beach and wearing nearly nothing. Of course there's that little issue of cost of living.

It's Jaywick of course.

Sun, sea, affordable property, 'community spirit' which is important as you get older and all a short hop from London.

Wright said that he formed the trust “back when Bitcoin was not worth anything at all” as a prescient move to secure his prospective assets. When asked why he himself is not one of the trustees, he said:

    “Because I’m smart enough not to be. Because then people could force me to actually move coins. You can take things from trustees. If it was mine, people could have seized assets from me.”

Well, every city or surrounding city has a similar area.
That's not what I saw when I visited England, mostly London, but been to Amersham as well-nice little city, very green and pleasant.
Did not get the obsession about the 200 year old (or older) houses to live in, but I guess that it is a "preservation" spirit.

An one might ask... "Pray tell, who and why would anyone seize assets from you? Hmmm?"

If you ever see a modern housing estate being built in Britain you will understand. Postage stamp gardens, hardly any parking, paper walls, no amenities, no public transport and they're thrown up as quickly as possible for maximum profit and often delivered with countless faults like overflowing drains and windows with gaping gaps in them. Many of their show homes have special 3/4 scale furniture to make them look bigger inside.

I spent the night in a typical one once and you could hear someone scratching their nose at the opposite end of the building. Lord knows how you'd manage your first wank without the whole family asking you how it went at breakfast the following day.

There are some good ones. They're rare.

We have on average the smallest and no doubt most expensive houses in Europe.

Older is almost always better.
