I'm liking the PayPal thing...

My initial thoughts are that we could integrate this as a solution for bitcoin payments on the cruise ship. There are already PayPal NFC point of sale terminals. Everyone just sign up for a Paypal account, load it with BTC and pay everywhere on the ship.

That would allow people that just want to use fiat to do so as well.

There are also ways of loading up an NFC ring with payment details. Much to research but this could be pretty great.

I wouldn´t touch it to be honest, but everybody can and should do like they desire  Wink
Just see it as another viable option.
And we as consumers need more of that so to have companies be competitive for our fingers to make a move towards what they have to offer.

"Not your keys, not your Bitcoin" comes to mind...

Edit: At least, users can enjoy the profits from price appreciation, even without owning the keys.

Hey all,

Long time reader, long time holder, ex long time miner ... prolly (I think?) first time poster. Usually don't login to read the WO, so the name will not be familiar to the regulars, but I've been here a while.

Holding since .... late 2012(?) maybe .... certainly around Risto times - definitely before Searing (I remember when Searing was just searing, before he was "Brad"). Also remember that dude from HI who convinced everyone he lost his BTC and then scammed some people.....

As a miner I was around for the whole BFL debacle, and got some really good mileage out of my KNC rig before that turned in to a scam.

Annnnnyway.

Canadian (so, looking at Jimbo, maybe(?) for this advice) - but .... likely looking to cash out some coin and retire soon-ish.

Problem is, I'm not that old (late 30ish) and have a pretty solid gig with good benefits and all that.

I really need some advice around the tax hit I might take, and how much I really need to not just live, but live well during the next 40, 50 (+) years.

I recognize I can run the numbers myself (and I have), but looking for confirmation that I've not been off on any assumptions. Question is, who does one ask? Is this an accountant (EY, KPMG, etc?) type question, or a wealth advisor (who best I can tell is just a dope off the street with a spreadsheet) or ... someone else?

Never been much of a money focused dude (beyond knowing that BTC was a revolutionary idea when I heard it) - so - I really don't know who to ask.

I'd rather not dump 5-600 bucks on a meeting that will be no help. I'd like to emerge with a plan with firm numbers and targets attached.

You could wait just a little bit longer and then you won't need to cash out.

Well, it's nice to be officially "wealthy" again at these BTC/USD prices. Freaking surreal.

Too bad the Paypal news is so lame. Not being able to move crypto between accounts, or into your own custody is going to red-pill quite a few folk about "not your keys, not your coins"

Gentlemen.

Yeah, that was one of my initial thoughts too. But that's eclipsed imo by the ability to send your bitcoin to paypal and then be able to spend it anywhere paypal is accepted, which is almost everywhere online. So just one extra step allows us to spend bitcoin almost everywhere. That's huge (no need to keep huge amounts of bitcoin there).

Hmm, it seems that if you cannot send/receive your own bitcoin to/from your paypal account, it's perhaps not as ground breaking as we'd hoped. Still a positive development though.

the timing is fantastic. and also the way they designed the UI with those neat daily %gainZ. how many of the 350 mil users will want to give it a shot and buy for $20 or $50? during the next run-up those millions of people will see the fiat gains every day. it will get them hooked. sucked in. because no coiners are not used to that kind of gains at all. them have been watching their life-insurance or house savings plan appreciate 1% p.fuckingA. basically 350 mio little onramps to the craze. omg.

You can't put Bitcoin into Paypal (or take it out) - you can only buy it 'inside' and use it there, if I read up correctly...

That is right!

A couple of years ago I had some GBP in a Revolut account at the start of a four month foreign vacation (that's another story), so I thought I might as well swap it for BTC on Revolut's platform. It sat there for the whole four months, increasing in value relative to GBP. At the end of the vacation I swapped it back to GBP and the profit paid for the vacation.

I know that last year there was a queue of over 15,000 waiting to open Revolut accounts.

This paypal news would allow more people to do pretty much the same thing, I suppose. As someone said earlier, presumably Revolut and now Paypal will have to make sure they always hold enough BTC to cover their customers' positions. In which case, for every 'virtual' BTC 'purchased' by a Paypal customer, PayPal would have had to purchase, or will have to purchase, a real BTC.  In which case, the more Paypal account holders who convert their fiat into Paypal's version of BTC, the more demand for real BTC and therefore more CCMF gifs, no?

Good point, they will have to (at least) hedge against the price rising, the easiest way being 'buy an equivalent amount'.  Paypal does tend to take a slice of everything passing through; different currencies are never traded at the actual rate, usually there is 3% shaved off (if you buy overseas in a different currency).  But your point is a good one - as even their virtual BTC will actually need to be backed, because it's volatile.

unfortunately I am out of merit. welcome. I wouldn't recommend EY, KPMG, Deloitte or PWC at all! they have no clue. they sail on the ship "blockchain- not bitcoin"
which will be wrecked soon. fidelity? they are (were?) bitcoin miners, they understand it better imho.
