  • Taxes on BitcoinAug 23, 2025

    Legally? No. That's life, you have to pay taxes. I know they can sometimes be a pain in the arse, especially how complex they can be sometimes, however at least in the UK our tax goes to something useful like the…

  • What do you need to know exactly? How to setup the software or what you need to be able to run a Pi for a reasonable amount of time to mine? The latter really does depend on your environment. However, there's plenty of…

  • If this is anywhere but Antarctica, it's going to be too warm. At least, anything that's worth running for daily profit. These usually require big units, which produce a lot of heat and noise. I personally don't think…

  • Thanks, hadn't heard of this news. I'm sure my accountant would've let me know since he's been handling my Bitcoin taxes for a while, but it's always nice to have a heads up. I'll probably seek some clarification from…

  • If you believe you might meet some of these requirements, but aren't sure, then you can contact an accountant. An accountant, will likely be able to tell you whether you need too in a consultation, and it shouldn't cost…

  • Good point about his strategy with leveraging debt. it’s a unique approach that not everyone would feel comfortable with. Still, his advocacy for Bitcoin does help bring more attention to it, even if his financial…

  • Interesting take on the timing! I agree that if BTC peaks too early, it might feel underwhelming regardless of the price. A blow-off top scenario would indeed push the price higher than $250K, but as you said, timing is…

  • Agreed, his books are iconic and have inspired many, but I get your point about him being late to the Bitcoin party. Still, his bullish stance might help onboard more people who trust his views. With the current…

  • Good point, Becassine. It’s true that Kiyosaki wasn’t an early adopter or advocate for Bitcoin, and his initial focus was indeed on gold and silver. However, I think his shift over the years shows a recognition of…

  • Robert Kiyosaki is forecasting that bitcoin will hit $250,000 by 2025. He’s also mentioned he’s buying more of it, calling it a straightforward route to wealth in these uncertain economic times. Kiyosaki, well-known for…

  • Stock, these will overheat in the summer (ask me how I know ). At the very least you'll want to replace the thermal paste as already mentioned. However, to be honest your probably going to go down the route of custom…

  • Trust me, even if there was somewhere with free electricity, someone would limit its reach, and then sell you the power at a profit . There are electricity that's cheaper usually in less developed countries. However,…

  • Unfortunately there really aren't any "cheap" miners left on EBay. When the price of BTC went over $20,000 the price of old miners doubled and then doubled again when BTC hit $40,000 That said I run Antminer T15s and…

  • From my experience the T2Ts are good reliable miners even when used and slightly abused. They only have a couple of problems in my opinion. They're loud AF and not very efficient. They're just barely more efficient than…

  • What's 1st Base? We're all about breaking down technical walls with a full package: a miner, explorer, wallet, messenger, strategy game, and a marketing tool designed specifically for independent businesses. Our goal is…

  • There's various different cases you can 3d print yourself. Just search them in any 3D printing search engine and you'll see various designs. Is it inherently dusty where you are from? I've never had any piece of…

  • I only have one Antminer S9K and haven't had any trouble with it whatsoever. I purchased it from Bitmain beginning of November.

  • Seek an accountant. There's various tools online where you can calculate capital gains, and income tax together, but honestly just get an accountant to do the math for you as they are less likely to make mistakes. Any…

  • I'm fairly jealous of the electricity costs elsewhere in the world. I believe even the US has some decent rates compared to the UK. I'd probably throw a lot more at it if it wasn't so expensive. Even running 50TH's…

  • Not a truer word spoken. I see a lot of talk about patterns, but none of us are ever able to capitalize on them. Since, as you correctly point out; if we did we'd be stinking rich. Obviously, you need the starting…
