" Life Altering " ......?

[Crazy]

If you brought this up then I'll put it on bold: a user's day to day OS somehow determines their computer competency.

I didn't bring it up, you did, you dunce. Just because you decided to ninjaedit doesn't mean people didn't see it.

This is true. I switched to full linux in all of my computers 2 years ago when I had too many bitcoins lying around in my windows machines. Knowing that windows is a giant security vulnerability, a bitcoin techie should never want to use this OS.

Funny, you criticize others for not being "techies" through subtle jabs yet you were so insecure of your own understanding that you had to switch to a OS with a small market share to avoid being owned. You don't see the humor in that?

The demented meathead on my avatar is me.

No way, you don't say?

You're looking for a fight. You're not getting it from here. Much of love to you nevertheless.

Yes, I was. You can fake the "high ground," but just do yourself a favor and crawl back in your shell. Try not to be a jerk to people for no reason next time.

Thanks, I will. Don't have a shell though. By the way, I actually meant to send you love, it was not fake but I needed to imaginatively equalize your essence with mine in order to be purely sincere.

Pay that 0% tax rate.

...

Long term capital gains (held more than 1 year) do not count toward AGI.

Are you 100% sure about that? I don't believe that entrepreneurs selling their dot com businesses get away with 0% tax. I certainly didn't.

The tax code is complicated. I'm pretty sure the capital gains doesn't count towards your AGI it terms of taxing your other income, but it certainly counts in terms of which capital gains bracket you will be taxed at.

If you're sitting on a capital gains of $70k+, talk to a tax accountant to make double-sure you're not going to get fined stiff penalties for not abiding by the tax codes.

If in the US, plan on giving half of the profit to the government.  So to keep that $15 mil, you will need to make 30 mil.  Unless of course you just spend your coins or attempt to avoid taxes.

Let's see.  Keep it for a year.  Quit my job.  Make less than $70,000 (joint) in a year.  Pay that 0% tax rate.  Whew, those taxes are brutal...  

Here is the bracket for 2013:

January 1, 2013 -

Hold   1 Year or More      

10% tax rate = 0% capital gains tax rate   
15% tax rate = 0% capital gains tax rate
25% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
28% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
33% tax rate = 15% capital gains tax rate
35% tax rate = 18.8% capital gains tax rate
39.6% tax rate = 23.8% capital gains tax rate

Note: Obama is trying to change this for 2014 but they didn't get it done in time for 2013, so keep that in mind.

Here are the current Adjusted Gross Incomes for these brackets:

2013 Tax Brackets (For taxes due April 15, 2014)
Tax rate    Single filers       Married filing jointly or qualifying widow/widower    Married filing separately    Head of household
10%      Up to $8,925      Up to $17,850                     Up to $8,925         Up to $12,750
15%      $8,926 - $36,250   $17,851 - $72,500                  $8,926- $36,250      $12,751 - $48,600
25%      $36,251 - $87,850   $72,501 - $146,400                  $36,251 - $73,200      $48,601 - $125,450
28%      $87,851 - $183,250   $146,401 - $223,050                  $73,201 - $111,525      $125,451 - $203,150
33%      $183,251 - $398,350   $223,051 - $398,350                  $111,526 - $199,175      $203,151 - $398,350
35%      $398,351 - $400,000   $398,351 - $450,000                  $199,176 - $225,000      $398,351 - $425,000
39.6%   $400,001 or more   $450,001 or more                  $225,001 or more      $425,001 or more

Long term capital gains (held more than 1 year) do not count toward AGI.  Short term (held less than 1 year) do.  Also, get a house payment (interest) and some kids to offset your AGI.  Also, donate to your favorite charity instead of the goverment if you like them better to get into a lower bracket.

God bless you for bringing this to my attention
