Which nation has jurisdiction to enforce taxes on BTC? It's the only FIAT without a country.
I'm told US citizens are taxable anywhere in the world, but I get the impression that is the exception rather than the rule, and only 5% of the world population, and even then a US citizen can disengage if they choose.
My origin country, domicile, business incorporation, play ground are all different (aiming for the 5 flags/PT setup, but not quite there yet), but still, I'm not sure who would claim rights over me for taxes*. I'm for sure not the only one who does this. There must be millions of people doing something similar. All legal and above board.
*I still have to pay taxes on beer, gas, food etc via sales tax/VAT/GST in whatever place I happen to be at the time.

this shows that a large number of investors in bitcoin are just newbies that saw a big price (number) one day and read some happy to the moon posts/news and hopped on the train with the hope of getting rich quick. but these people jump of the train everytime it enters a tunnel.
It's the psychology of a bull market. It'll happen again and again.
Wrong. Bitcoin has little chance to rebound to all time highs. There has been way to much shorting, panic selling, dumping whatever at the slightest increases, and it seems apparent that few people are willing to gamble that btc will see absurd increases. Manipulators fucked up, got greedy, and instead of re instilling confidence in the market by holding, they profit take every chance they get.
You could even look at that article about the whale trading club or some bullshit from a few weeks ago. These douchebags have no problem openly admitting that they make more money when btc goes down, that they collaborate about doing it, and the worst part is people sit there praising them going "they bring liquidity derp." I am also 100 percent convinced any of the pro bitcoin big players are either in on this shit, or don't give a fuck, as they have done nothing to stop it.

Torque's right, the current dip is due to US tax payers selling their bitcoins to pay the IRS. This sell-off may continue until April 15th. We apologize for creating a panic selling pressure, this is just temporary, please HODL if you can.
What about Chinese tax payers? China has a massive effect on the market too. China and the US have to be the two biggest players because the USD and CNY markets have the biggest volumes on the echanges.
-They don't pay taxes in China, it's all free.
-All free? Free my ass. What are you, a fuckin' commie? Huh?
How is a tax sell off the simple explanation. Bitcoin being worthless crap is the simplest explanation.
LMAO at everyone panicking.
Selloff is to pay the tax man, nothing more. Happened last year this time too. Good buying opp. We'll be back up in May.
You cannot pin poin a price drop to a single particular thing like "oh its just people cashing out to pay taxes". Too many variables to tell. Selloff is to pay the tax man, nothing more. Happened last year this time too. Good buying opp. We'll be back up in May.

makes much more sense to me than any recent news (either positive or negative) that were linked to be behind the price moves.
Theoretically, taxes have to be paid in the USA by April 15th but people usually start filing in February if they want to get their returns back earlier.
Yep. And if you sell certain assets (like stocks) to pay taxes, it can take 3-4 business days to close, and another 3-4 business days for a bank transfer.
Interesting theory, well you are right that we've seen a pretty steep drop exactly one year ago. Same time next year we should all go and prepare for the last week of March, I guess...

Yea, cause nobody knew that was coming...
Nonsense.
It just shows how strong, or rather weak, the support at this price level really is.
It took 3 weeks to get from this level to the peak, just 2 dumps with regular day volume to bring it all the way down again.
Time to wake up and sell before you lose everything.
