Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[jbreher]

Anyone going to walk away from crypto if BCH wins? Or are you happy to use whatever coin comes out on top?

Neither. I mean, if segwitcripplecoin comes out on top, I'll use it. But I'd be disappointed that Bitcoin Cash -- the rightful heir -- did not succeed.

OTOH, prospects look pretty good ATM.

Quelle est la probabilité que le prix descende sous les 3000 USD au moins une fois dans les 6 prochains mois ?

Je dirais >70%.

I'm trying to work that out with my accountant now. Wanted to dump all my BCH to pay off a mortgage and he's trying to wrap his head around the cost-basis and tax implications.

Do you think that if you traded your BCH for BTC... and your BTC would appreciate more each year than the interest on your loan.... ?

Some rhetoric in there.

Does she accept BCH?

Has anyone considered the tax implications of now involuntarily owning BCH?

I'm thinking they will treat it as if you mined it on the day the chain split. In other words, you will owe capital gains on the value of BCH the day it was created whether you cash it out or not.

Not bad for a 50-year-old MILF.

I understand that miners mine for profit but what about idealism?

Plenty of idealism in the Bitcoin Cash camp. Both users and miners. How else can you explain the chain being extended through the dark days of loss-inducing mining relative to mining core?

Pretty sure mined coins are taxed as regular income - not at the capital gains rate.

It was just a warm-up stretch for a new ATH

Good point, not like mining then but still capital gains.

She's married to a billionaire.
