Why do we entertain this sort of nonsense?

The end game of this forum began when they removed the newbie restrictions and stopped moderating out garbage posts and banning shills/FUD's/manipulators etc.

Basically all the intelligent conversation and posters have moved over to the other forum now.
I still come here daily to check up in case there was a rare interesting post....usually by the time I leave I need a beer just to wash away the painful stupidity.

"the other forum?" am i just being a dolt, or did i miss the part about what the other forum is? Smiley

Cryptocrypt....it is invitation only though.

If you are an intelligent experienced crypto enthusiast with something constructive to add, or a means to help build the community you can get an invite easy enough. If you are one of the multitude of assholes here that have nothing better than to be destructive and negative, and have nothing intelligent to add to the conversations...well those people already know who they are so they shouldn't bother trying.

You might want to double check that. Bitcoin is treated as a currency in quite a couple of countries.

Any of those countries also do have US IRS? Right, they do not. If Satoshi is a very unlucky person to live in such an imaginary country where both bitcoin is treated as a currency and tax laws are as idiotic as in US, then well, he could easily move, paying well under a million dollars for a citizenship of one of numerous tax haven countries. Problem solved.

What happens if/when it officially becomes a currency though? Still no need to tax?

He just withdraw enough to buy a nationality from denmark then sell all he wants there. Or ir other place where Bitcoin is tax free. Or maybe open some business there and them donate the coins for that business, and make them withdraw in his name.

Problem solved, beatch

Satoshi isn't a real person but an imaginary one, so he can't pay taxes.

Hey, don't confuse the issue with facts.  Cheesy

Quote from: bitcoin.it
If instead they are treated as a currency or debt, the full gain could be taxed based on market value at the end of each tax year.

But well, if you know where Satashi lives ...

Well, thats the implication.
Drawing 70 or even 140M dollars out of the exchanges is gonna bring the price down to low double or even single digits.


So he won't sell before the market is much, much larger.

And, from experience, you think that telling the tax office "Oh, how about you wait for another year or two..." works?

Exchanges?

I doubt Satoshi would have to stoop to using exchanges.

Only if he sells them, in which case we'll have a lot more to worry about than whether or not he's paying taxes.
