Capital gains is an issue for Canadians (and Americans) regardless of what exchange they use. Not reporting sources of income is tax evasion. It’s amazing to me how frequently discussions of bitcoin profits are mixed with a casual attitude

It’s not like a stock split, but it is like a spinoff. It’s easier to compare it to a company being split into equal parts with roughly similar functions than the spinning off of a smaller division. Conceptually more like the splitting up o

Imagine a single database controlled by the government that contained a record of every transaction every citizen or non-citizen made with the official state currency. Run a query with no warrants, and no subpoenas. Now imagine a boot stamp

Another post on the front page notes that BMW sold 100,000 “electrified” vehicles (of which ¼ were 100% BEV) in 2017. The s-curve on electric vehicle adoption has barely started to rise and will take 20+ years to complete. German manufactur

Pay actual service to EU regulations? Follow their treaty obligations, or renegotiate the treaty? They admit in the article that it’s a solution looking for a problem, which is a good strategy for creating problems for no reason.

It’s a compelling idea, but the science is spotty. There was a popular article in the nytimes suggesting this a few years ago that got people talking, and here’s a good critical response: http://www.rff.org/blog/2014&#x

This is a longstanding issue with Telegram, and deceptive advertising that a lot of people have an issue with. They use client-server encryption sure, but unlike Signal or WhatsApp, they do not employ end-to-end encryption by default; you m

This is a great analysis, but I’m stuck on this point. > 1) Someone who wants to sell $1M USD of BTC may be happy to take $1M USDT instead for legal/tax purposes. Can you clarify that you mean for the purpose of tax evasion as oppos

We all remember the internet skeptics, but forget how equally wrong the people who were predicting that the internet would lead us to a global utopia by the year 2000. Extreme positions are usually wrong. It's hard to take comparisons

No, it's not news, but seeing a few thousand virtual cats affect the network and effectively drive transaction costs up 7x in real time really brings it home. It's one thing to have to worry about your competitors gaining traction
