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

[Phil_S]

You have to be special kind of retard to think that US/China/Russia who historically couldn't cooperate on anything (Snowden, Huawei etc..), all of the sudden will start cooperating on blocking transaction for tax purposes?

US, China, Russia are all FATF Members:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Action_Task_Force_on_Money_Laundering

So they do cooperate of some financial matters.

Bitcoin is not going to be a way to avoid reporting to the authorities. Craig Wright has explained/argued how the authorities will be able to pressure exchanges and 50+% of the miners to censor transactions:[/size]

...

So a key insight from Craig’s point is that if mining is not sufficiently in the hands of users (i.e. decentralized) then censorship resistance is going to gradually die over time. Initially governments will focus on coordinating on freezing cryptocurrency associated with major crimes. But of course over time this will digress into a form of abject totalitarianism.[/size]

Umm.

What?

Craig Wright says buy Bitcoin SV because of "predictions".

Sorry to distract ya'll from an apparent dick measuring contest...

What's your take on perpetual trusts?
Here is Guardian's:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/14/the-great-american-tax-haven-why-the-super-rich-love-south-dakota-trust-laws

I think that this would be relevant to bitcoin later on.
There are lots of "golden nuggets" in this article.
The main conclusion is that we might be changing the society by allowing perpetual trusts (details in the article).

This golden nugget is relevant to some US bitcoiners right now. How many will be moving to South Dakota before cashing out to avoid capital gains tax?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/nov/14/the-great-american-tax-haven-why-the-super-rich-love-south-dakota-trust-laws

South Dakota has no income tax, no inheritance tax and no capital gains tax

The perpetual trusts thing seems a massive deal, and probably will be relevant to Bitcoin later on.

Well, hold your horses, there are still federal taxes, including capital gains tax. It's not written very clearly.
The only no cap gains tax for US citizens is the Puerto-Rico deal, but it is only until 2035 and only on cap gains AFTER you domesticated/moved your assets there.
Plus, you HAVE to reside there 183 days/year.

Yes but federal taxes don’t apply to offshore assets owned by foreigners. This is about tax rorts for foreigners, not Yanks

True, I was looking at it from the US perspective.
However, the deal is better for non-US citizens.
Oh well, it's almost always the case

Nice arts mate!

Only 1% space of my art is going to consist of caps, so don't worry, your caps won't be challenged by another work of caps.

Apparently all McDonalds in India serves halal burgers, and indians don't like that so they are boycotting McD, at least according to a Swedish newspaper.

"All our restaurants have HALAL certificates. You can ask the respective restaurant Managers to show you the certificate for your satisfaction and confirmation. (2/2)

@HasdaaPunjab
Go To Hell, then. We Hindus only have JHATKA MEAT, Will educate others as well to not have any Non Veg Food From your chain. If you not want to end up like ZOMATO, ensure that JHATKA MEAT is served. Else, embrace for Financial Loss. https://twitter.com/mcdonaldsindia/status/1164584030647377920?s=19 …"

Now, my question to you Indians here is: what the hell is ZOMATO and JHATKA MEAT?

ZOMATO- a global restaurant chain, probably failed in India
JHATKA-when animal is killed by a single stroke..never knew about it...maybe from a particular religious point of view.

[Raja_MBZ]

what the hell is ZOMATO?

Sounds like a z-shaped tomato.

[Arriemoller]

I am Zorro, I eat Zomatos.

Thanks for the answer, do you know if that boycott is doing any harm to McD?

It's not only the boycott that could harm McD. According to this there's a court case against mcdonalds already in motion.

Remember all the hassle mcdonalds had in court over burns from a 49-cent cup of coffee?

Hey Homer, will you be making a hat for the art entry? 

[bitserve]

^ + 1000!

Yeah, homer caps have been probably the single most important artistic action in BTCT ever! It has even transpired off WO frontiers to many other members not regular here.

Homer should make an entry for sure!

Two hour of driving.
Finally meeting a bro!
At Haarlem city.

Clear sun at autumn...
A holy man will be cheered!
When he’s arriving.

Boat at the canal!
It might be Santa? Globb0?
Nah it’s Sinterklaas ....

Two hours back to home.
Finally, my lazy chair.
And now HODLsleep

Meet 19 year old Midia Moloudpoor from Iran.
She fled as a refugee to Sweden because her family wanted her to marry her cousin at age 15.
She is a Christian.
Her family has threatened to kill her if she returns to Iran.
Sweden has decided to DEPORT her to Iran 😡
RETWEET!

Sweden has no problem taking in returning ISIS Jihadis.
But they are deporting young girls who are being threatened with death in their home country.
INSANITY!

Someone take the poor waif in.

also I gotta assume this photo is very recent, rright?

I will do my christian duty and provide asylum for this poor lost soul. But only out of good religious standards.

Did a google search, only the tweet shows up. Likely this is just Facebook Ad spam or some such.

I googled her name and everything was in Arabian so I have no clue, but it looks legit just from the massive amount of hits on her name I got.

Poor lil tinglie....

That word...


W00ps wrong one.

They have all always agreed that the people are peasants and need to be controlled.

This dude has an exact opposite investment strategy to JJG, lol
Sorry, an alt is mentioned.

https://thehustle.co/how-i-made-13-million-cryptocurrency-ethereum/

I honestly think that he is not done yet..and would probably lose almost all this money in his next "gambling adventure".
No schadenfreude.

I wonder how many lose everything when prone to these urges.
I made a promise to myself to restrict my btc investment to a certain % of fiat and so far I was able to resist doing anything silly like this  ^guy.
Sorry, LS, I am not all in "king". If I was, imagine going from 20K to 3K. It would have been bad for your health.

[jbreher]

OK boomer.

Is that supposed to be some cutting pejorative?
