- The Complexities of New York's BitlicenseApr 14, 2026
Is it possible to circumvent this with a vpn too for a lot of sites or is there tougher legislation about that (such as proof of address). This probably adds the an argument of trying to make things more decentralised.…
- The Influence of Economic PowerMar 15, 2026
I think "means to produce" might be a better term here. A good economy and the emergence of a strong political power normally stem from being able to produce something. It is normally either food, good transport links…
Most places have 20% ours is STILL 20% the 45% was just a proposition. Although it'd probably make more sense to increase stamp duty (paid on stock and property purchases) instead - actually they reduced stamp duty on…
I assumed based on this Say I bought 1BTC at $6k, and sold at $300k but rebought at $100k. I then would have to pay CGT on $200k surely but not on the additional $100k as my holdings remain the same in btc. Also the…
Ah yeah I just checked what I assumed was the excemption and realised it was different (the "bed and breakfasting" rules as they're called. I'd just buy the same number at the lower rate. And yeah I remember the funds…
For other legal purposes, I "incorporated" myself a while ago so I was previously aiming to pay the 19% corporation tax and put profits into stocks/property - moving £20k a year into an isa and paying income tax on that…
Tbh, I thought it was still 45% until a few months ago.... It'd encourage me to just keep holding bitcoin if the rates go up and wait on moving. It'd make somewhere like Belgium (30% rate) much easier to move to though…
- Top Mining Locations Around the GlobeDec 28, 2025
I think this depends on what continent you're on. If it's America, Canada and Venezuela probably have the cheapest oil. If it's Europe the hotspot of mining is often Belgium but there might be other places where cheap…
Afaik Google have to reveal their source code to other companies, would Samsung not try to remove something like this? They're the main innovation hub for Google and have a larger market in Europe (probably more than…
Are a lot of terrorist organisations not advanced enough to know what's best to use for security... Also if this goes through I doubt companies are going to make separate versions without back doors... (perhaps this…
- KYC vs Non-KYC Bitcoin HoldingsNov 22, 2025
I often do this when it crashes and conveniently convert fiat to btc for the same amount and then I have that transaction in the records... Realistically though, this was more of a way to pre-empt my bank account so…
- GAAP accounting concernsOct 26, 2025
You're asking about tax reporting (not sure what gaap sands for)? I use Electrum's built in fiat rate api to produce the total amount earnt. I don't know what level of accounting you need though, if you can program its…
- moral questionsAug 21, 2025
What account? A bitcointalk account or a bitcoin wallet? I made a thread on bitcoin inheritance here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5285003.msg55471258#msg55471258 If it's account-wise then that's going to be…
- VPN laws and usageJun 25, 2025
I think this is really silly and can't decide if its the hotel's fault or the vpn providers. Essentially, you SHOULD be allowed to use a vpn in a hotel because your data to the vpn is authenticated with stronger…
- Kazakhstan's New Mining TaxJun 7, 2025
This might even be just them trying to look like they're doing something to anyone looking in. Unless they're selling electricity at a loss, there's not really an economic reason for doing something like this (there…
- Understanding death taxes on btcMay 1, 2025
For the UK, the estate is transfered to a custodian for a year (normally a solicitors) so the tax will probably be determined by then. You can't inherit debt but you can't inherit assets if the person you're inheriting…
- Understanding death taxes on btcMay 1, 2025
There's inheritance tax that's collected in a lot of places that'd probably be the first thing to be paid. As for the selling of the btc to xmr, if it was done years ago and there's proof of that transaction then the…
The good news here (as has been seen before) might be that banks can class cryptocurrencies as currency reserves and not assets and that's quite surprising imo anyway (things like stocks, gold or oil can't be iirc). The…
- btc-take.com experienceApr 23, 2025
It's a scam There's no reason you'd need to deposit funds to somewhere before being able to withdraw money that's yours.
Why would yuu want to incorporate an llc? If it's just that there are a few people interested you might be able to make a non incorporated partnership if you don't need the debt protection (but you'll need schemes in…
