Expect sideways to the end of September, it's still vacation time, economic activity tends to start to pick up end of Sept - beginning of Oct.

Hodl, boys! Another 2 weeks and it should get easier!

It's already easy. As long as we don't go below $100 Smiley

It's entertaining to see people panicking like little girls Smiley

$300 is still possible, $100 - very unlikely.

The last time that everyone started calling for the volatility to come back, we ended up going like straight down.   Let's hope we don't have a repeat of that...

Welp, there you have it...just like I mentioned a while back...we got the volatility back that people have been asking for, and we went down instead of up  Tongue

Germany has a 1 year duration for holding after which all capital gains on BTC are taxfree.

Going down isn't all bad. Especially if you are a longterm holder you can replenish your stack Wink

I dread the day BTC goes up because of the capital gains I have to report.
Move to Denmark, no tax on bitcoin gains Grin. It's also the only good thing about the country, but hey.

That said, it can change at any moment, even retroactively, so I'm staying under the radar.

There is no capital gain tax in Singapore also. You can use the local exchange itbit to trade.

Honestly, if bitcoin did go up to (let's say) 100k$, then I really may have to move there or some place that doesn't want to take 20% of my capital gains just because. At that point, I'd literally be paying 0.2 BTC to spend 1 BTC, because the fact that I bought at 500$ my 'investment' is so diluted, effectively I'm being taxed on the whole BTC.

Because of capital gains tax, I kind of want to hodl. I've probably gotten about 4-500$ saved this year by using BTC and buying back a little lower, but this would be a nightmare at 100k$. Even 1k$ looks like a disaster to me.

Can't complain it's a good place to be at the moment if you ask me.  The selfish side of me wants to see lower priced Bitcoin in the coming months but I suspect that is just wishful thinking.  I know one thing when we first the 600 dollar price range things started to get interesting fast and before we knew it the price was over a grand.  

I don't expect the same movements but I think it is worth taking into consideration.

i'm getting quite tired of waiting myself (expecting the July rally and it's already two weeks past, the horror) but I get the feeling that this long period of consolidation is actually a good thing. Wish I had more money to put in but i'm pretty maxed out..

I guess that's the problem. Everyone's all maxxed out right now!!! So no one will be able to start a new rallye, unless we see new money coming in from the sidelines. The books on stamp look meager, I guess... But that could be manipulation, too!

exactly! everybody is still taking a very long time to get on the boat. i just shared for the first time about bitcoin with a couple of friends and though they have heard of it, i was surprised how clueless they actually were. one insisted that bitcoin is a company! good grief. i realise the information chasm is still pretty big with the general public.

Yeah, but doesn't that show - on the other hand - that there's still an incredible amount of potential ready to be tapped? I guess a lot of people could profit form Bitcoin, just don't know about its existence yet! And that needs to change Smiley
