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

[JimboToronto]

A sunny good morning from Playa del Carmen good people of Bitcoinland. Actually it's a little overcast but after last week's brutal cold snap in Toronto, I'll live with it. Playing the tourist for a couple of days before heading out into the jungle.

Didn't have a chance to check in here yesterday but we obviously didn't suffer as badly as we could have from the S. Korea exchange crackdown news. Double-bottomed out around $12.8k and seems to be consolidating around $14k... currently $13890USD/$17375CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins are now worth $16745USD/$20947CAD (Coinmarketcap).

Last January it was China "banning Bitcoin". This January it's S. Korea. We all know how last year played out. Let's see what happens this year.

[...] Bankers own the majority of ETH IPO [...]

I don't wanna feed the trolls, but I'm wondering, how true is this statement?

[Flamaicon]

Just FUD's.
Dont worry.
Bitcoin and all Cryptos wil pump like always.
Too many money are waiting to join this market.
2018 will be better than 2017 $$
Dont forget the good news...tokyo, Singapore and N.Y. futures will add like Chicago futures.
All world Exchanges have a lot of new registers... there are too many new money, too many.

In Germany you have to pay taxes as soon as you sell your coins and also have profits > 600€, it doesn't matter if you get fiat, another coin or bananas for it.
So it's not only exit to fiat.

Damned ... your where first +1 ... in germany you pay tax for all things that looks like money or has any value. we as the tax masters of the world. 80% of the books about taxes are about the german tax system.

But one exception, if you hold your cryptos more than a year, you can sold it without pay any taxes. But if you sell this earlier, you have to pay with your own income tax rate. When you earn more than 66.000 Euro a year (in a job or from other things), you have to pay 48% on every cent you earn from selling cryptos.

48%  

F that shit.

What stops one to "temporarily" emigrate to the UK and only pay 20% capital gains tax when selling?

Like I said, you should move to Holland. No capital gains tax whatsoever, you only pay 1.2% over the amount you have at the 1st of january of the year you have to pay taxes on. This is because it is considered 'property' (vermogen) and you have to pay 40% over a fictional rate of gains that is fixed at 3%. So 1.2%. Over the worth of your stash at the very beginning of the year. Harrrrrr!

Bitcoin is under heavy attack from German (jew) Media. I smell fear.

Just bears playing Beethoven.

Nothing to worry about.

[Torque]

They just keep shorting this market, trying to frustrate. Wallstreet wants your coins.

Kodak, wow just wow, 400% in two days - not bad for a company that destroyed itself by ignoring digital photos.

Here's a script for any ailing company:

1. Start pushing an internal cryptocoin or blockchain integration agenda
2. Quietly buy up company stock shares for 6 months
3. Publically announce said crypto agenda, even it is complete vaporware
4. Watch shares of stock get pumped jump 400-500% overnight
5. Profit !

Holy insider trading, I nailed it!

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/kodak-stock-pulls-back-directors-disclose-acquisitions-prior-to-blockchain-rally-2018-01-11

"On Jan. 8, the day before Kodak’s crypto announcement, no fewer than seven directors acquired derivative securities convertible to common stock, according to Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The securities are restricted stock units, or RSUs, which were granted under Kodak’s “2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan” (OIP) and vest on Jan. 8, 2019, except as otherwise provided in the award notice, and subject to continuous service as a member of the board of directors, according to the filings. Even with the timely acquisition, there’s no guarantee the RSU’s will be profitable when they are vested.

Some board members also sold derivative securities, convertible to common shares, on Jan. 9, the day the “blockchain” news was reported.

Kodak said the timing of the insider activity was a “coincidence.”

Jail time for Bonzo?

"Coincidence."

Oh, boy. Crypto is done! You'd better sell it all soon.
However, you're lucky today. I am a generous person and will save you, with a modest fee for all extra risk (given crypto is dead, you will understand it's nothing personal).

We can arrange an OTC sale through escrow for all your coins.
PM me if interested.
