it's going so fast. Ho many % in one month ?

Over 100% !!

On a side note, anyone know somewhere in the UK that accepts BTC for a nice car?

Congratulations - enjoy the well earned BTC =)

If it's more than £11K watch out for CGT, who knows what data from kyc/aml is passed to HMRC behind the scenes. Probably better to hold 20% for a year in reserve just in case.

Thanks for the heads up.
Makes buying a Nice car less fun :-(

If you are married, there is a transferable capital gains tax allowance. So if your wife doesn't book any capital gains, that's £22k tax free.
It's one of the only tax benefits of being married.
There are other benefits of course. Just not related to the tax system.

What are the other benefits??

Thanks.

There is an enormous benefit, but it's for her. She can take half your shit and your kids any time she likes for any reason or no reason.

[JimboToronto]

Just woke up to use the can and now I see $2724USD at Stamp, 2404EUR at Bitcoinaverage and $3716CAD at Google. Wow.  

Now I don't want to go back to bed. Gotta be a correction soon.

In the meantime, obscene paper profits are being made. Thank god they're only taxed as capital gains and not as income here, and there are no taxes to be paid until they are sold.

Not going to get into that whole discussion here. Hopefully if you're happily married and have been together for a while you have figured it out for yourself.

On a Sunday morning, if your wife likes you, she'll come into your separate bedroom, peel back your quilted nylon bedspread and give you a dry peck on the cheek when you wake up.

And every July you're allowed to trade lawn mowing for sexual intercourse one time, but don't expect her to stop crying.

That's because it is a discussion you know you would lose.

10k BTC is not a dream anymore.

Arrr. Youre talking about ladies-and-gentlemen. I highly recommend doing ladies-and-gentlemen, whilst high on gentlemen. Experience it while you can, cos the opportunity only comes around once in a while.

We clearly have had different experiences of marriage.

You don't need to be married for either of those things, and in fact marriage tends to get in the way of them.

You two should marry each other and learn something together. That's the beauty of matrimony.

How old are you and how old is your wife?

This is relevant, no need to look for excuses to get defensive.

<snip>

My primary concern is that when the "perfect" time comes to sell, it might not actually be possible to do so. Exchanges are not as robust as they should be.
My secondary concern is that the dumps might come while I am asleep, most of the action happens when I'm tucked away in bed.

This is why I sold my trading stash, and I'm very content with that decision.

Your antagonistic replies - "sorry for your loss" "sorry for your short" - triggered me and in a few moments of weakness, I responded.
20 minutes of my life I will never get back. Another regret.



Someone... please... talk about walls or something.

Not defensive. Just aware this is very off-topic and supposed to be getting something constructive done. Unwilling to open a can of worms that - like bitcoin - is likely to be pre-settled in a person's mind rather than liable to be changed by discussion (or, as it happens, evidence - there's plenty of academic studies on it).
Since you asked, I'm in my late 30s and she's 3.5 years older than me.

[JimboToronto]

Alright. We got a lovely little $80 dip. It ain't much but it's better than nothing.

We've got to keep this rally honest and not let it run wild.

Okay, we can head up to a new ATH now, and I can go back to bed.

See y'all at the crack of noon.

[rafanadal]

10k BTC is not a dream anymore.

we are not even halfway there

[ErisDiscordia]

So nobody cares about that 400BTC dump just now on Stamp? It's bouncing right back atm...yawn. Back to discussing the merits of marriage.

[harrymmmm]

What the fuck ? I go to sleep for a few hours, and wake up to see it's gone up another $150 up to ~$2,664 ??!??

Aye carumba !

At least half of us have no idea what's happening.

My two halves are beside themselves.

The rest of me is deluded.

[soullyG]

I'm marrying my Bitcoin stash at this rate

Ok so she's too old to realistically leave and find someone else, and you likely got married before divorce court became what it is now. That's why you are happy to defend marriage. Your wife is TOO OLD for you to worry about her splitting with your shit.

For the rest of us, it doesn't take an academic study to figure out that getting married today is about the most self-destructive thing a man could do.
