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

[HairyMaclairy]

Just looked that up, quite a long read. And yes, the UK does not charge an annual tax for property (land) like Austria (for example) does.

We limeys do pay Council Tax which is banded based on property value, however.

As do we swedes, max 780 USD per annum and some properties are exempt, like some agriculture land for example.

Around here (US) the tax is once a year, about 2% of the total property value (in my state) and the retarded part about it is that they tell you the exact tax at around Nov 15, but you have to shell out the cash by Jan 31. Most people escrow the estimated tax payment together with the mortgage, though.
However, 2% is annoyingly high as they keep bumping the fake house prices up.
Why fake? Because houses sell at the numbers that are lower than citi estimates suggest.

I think the difference is you have a lower overall income tax (federal + state), so they make up the difference in property taxes.  You end up paying the same, it’s just collected differently.

A dark rainy night
I just shot my dear old cat
Tears rolling down my face

Sorry to hear that.
I had to put my 15 year old standard poodle down last week.
Most unpleasant.

Commiserations to both of you. What was it Arrie, a car accident?
15 is pretty good machasm for a big dog. so sorry.

[HairyMaclairy]

For the services provided they are still to high.

Hey now

somebody has to pay for those guys playing cards, er, changing the oil in the snowplows, down at the county shops

You have mentioned the guys down at the shop a couple of times.  Something you would like to share?

Oops, I thought I had already responded to this, I'm sorry, losing a pet is always sad.

It's fine if we stay above 9,500 the next step is to recover 10,000.

Bitstamp 9,600, go BTC

VB, you'd be a great merit source too.

It's funny how so many people try to predict the future price of Bitcoin, when the answer is obvious:

Long-term: UP!
Short-term: Roll a dice!

I just buy when I can, HoDL, and don't look at the short-term price action much. It's the easiest and least stressful strategy that almost guarantees profits. Has served me well.

Also, I have bitterly regretted EVERY single time I could have bought, but didn't... Which confirms the above strategy.

Couldn't agree more. Back in 2013 when I first got into Bitcoin, I did it because it seemed like a good investment.

Because it was an investment, I would worry about my buy in price, I always wanted to maximise my profit and of course regretted missing bottoms here and there and wish I allocated more of my investment stash.

For the last few years my attitude has completely changed, assisted by the drop in rates by my home country's CB I now view Bitcoin for what it actually is. Not an investment, but as a savings vehicle, I am saving for my retirement and my children's future and I do that not with a savings account, but with Bitcoin.

For years the central bank and my government has been destroying my savings through corruption and inflation, not any more, all my excess income now goes straight into bitcoin and will stay there forever. And that's how you do bitcoin people. It's not an investment, it's a savings vehicle. Strong hands forever.

V8, I vote for you, you would be perfect as MS.

Gut is giving me a feeling we might see ATH before New Year. I hope he is right.

No, you.
I want to be able to merit fart jokes, and I'm not absolutely sure theymos was thinking of that when he invented the system.

Yes, exactly. The sad thing (for me) is that, all the fiat I've "invested" in Bitcoin over the years, I already had available when I first bought Bitcoin in 2015. Had I used it all at that time, I would now have x10 the amount of coins I currently have.

Lesson learned: buy whenever you can, not later!

Appreciate the thoughts.
He had a pretty good life and the missus and I could do with a break now.
Looking to do some travelling now that we don’t have to be home looking after him.
Every cloud and all that.

At least BTC is looking good recently.

[bitserve]

Sorry for your loss @Arri and @machasm

From thinking to see 5-4-3k-ish ranges to revisit ATH before newyear.... you got a wide stretch

I just read a few hundred posts from this thread between Jan and March 2018. Don't really know what I was looking for.

Its interesting to see that, of the regulars who are still here, nobody has changed a single bit. It basically sounded like the conversations could have happened today.

Personalities are pretty set in stone, I suppose.

One of the biggest events that happened in those months was infofront got married.

Other than that, it was exactly the same 'ol shit. Things people argued about:

- the next price movement
- small blocks vs. big blocks
- racism

Things people agreed on:

- hot women are fun to look at
- cars should go fast
- bitcoin is pretty neat
