We just had the thread, but the answer is cryptos will be banned like drugs. It just takes time for the authorities to realize the threat.

Why not you statist fuck.

The SEC is working hard to destroy buttcohens.

They're trying to regulate it hard.

It's not very legal. Most people who were early adopters are likely guilty of breaking all kinds of criminal statutes, probably completely on accident. Any number of 3 letter agencies could civil asset forfeiture seize your money at any moment.

You can get rich off crypto but if you do, you better make sure you park it far, far away from US government jurisdiction.

Why?

Stop using crypto

never used it but fuck you nazi communist scum fucks i'll buy some bitcoin right now.

Yes, however the ICOs (initial coin offerings) which are the cryto equivalent of an IPO have been now banned or regulated by the FEC in the US and a day ago in China, but these are merely standard government consumer protection efforts (not that I agree with it either way)

What is technically illegal is avoiding capital gains tax on them, but I have no idea how that's even solvable logistically.

Might I ask how would it be illegal it's just software transfers of information packets?

Isn't it illegal to avoid taxation? Bitcoins aren't taxed and I wouldn't think the feds would take too kindly to that

Don't buy that, buy 7-11 altcoins that are at a lower price that will net you a higher percentage of returns. Symbols of god ones
VERI OMG PAY PPT ADX LTC EOS PLR

good* ones

Bitcoins are taxed the same way as anything else in most/all states. Gains on trades are capital gains in most states, nothing in others. It's all correctly regulated.

what's the interest rate on bitcoin?

Why would it be taxed? It's not anything listed in the tax code, it's like owning silver, you don't pay tax for owning it, you pay tax for selling and buying it and capital gains for appreciating assets that net I think over $10,000 but don't quote me on the number.
The problem really is proving what are gains vs losses in the calculating
Gonna be a big market to making it look like you lost a fortune to make your gains look only like offsets

What's the bottom token?

It's treated like a commodity, but like any emerging technology it has created a large policy vacuum.

t. Person that isn't even aware there's a tax code

Chan coin, press b to buy.

Srsly buy some - support your hero's at biz.

They only ways to get rich of of Cryptocoins:

1. To have got lucky enough o buy Ethreum or Bitcoin when they were first released and have sold by now.
2. To create your own e-coin fork, give yourself thousands of coins, and shill it why you cash out. (i.e. Pump and Dump).

Getting in e-coins now may make you a few dollars if you are lucky enough to buy and sell at the right times before the crash, it's not going to make you rich. You';re more likely to lose it.

The only people who get rich off of gold rushes are the shovel sellsmen.

What are you talking about I bought like 7$bucks of DGB on 7/21 and a month later I sold half for $100 and still have half if it spices up more

Buy the penny (stocks) sell at a high 100 coins at a penny each is great if it spikes up to quarter let alone a dollar which many can and have

how is federal reserve legal

Cosbycoins > all

Because President Woodrow Wilson signed it into law

Meh, I sold my coins this morning when I heard China banned Bitcoin. The price is going to tumble sub $1000 in the next weeks. I'll probably buy some again in about a month.

>but I have no idea how that's even solvable logistically.

When you cash out to $USD or fiat currency of your choice. If you keep everything in your bit/alt/whatever/coin there's no way they can track it.

You better keep records for how much you bought in for, or I'm sure they'd just tax you on the full amount.

A) It's not a law it's an act
B) It's blatantly unconstitutional and illegal in that it is a definitionally a ponzi scheme

its a scam and will always be a scam
its legal because nobody has the balls to do anything about it

A) It's not a law it's an act
B) It's blatantly unconstitutional and illegal in that it is definitionally a ponzi scheme

You could also do some research and try to invest in coins that solve problems bitcoin and eth have or address other needs, or that have a lot of hype behind them.

Crypto is all just a speculative bubble right now

that's the really not the big problem, the big problem is declaring losses because you have to in theory prove them, but to do that you'd have to have a way to validate wallet ownership, which defeats the half the point of their existence

Does that make sense?

unless you mean as a shell game I don't see how
and I really don't see how as the Chinese are dumping hundreds of millions into it and the supporting infrastructure

If bitcoins become illegal, arcade coins and tokens will be illegal as well.

that's not what bitcoin is it's more like making file transfers illegal

>which defeats the half the point of their existence

Well the 'point of their existence' isn't really what they are being used for. Crypto is mostly just a speculative investment right now, not anonymous/secure/global transactions.

No dumbass, child pornography is illegal, distributing it is illegal and yet some how magically I can still transfer other files that aren't CP legally

crazy shit huh

exchanging numerical values between computers should be illegal?

Decred > Bitcoin

Anyone that supports Bitcoin supports child porn as that is the only way to shut down the Black market. Also applies to anyone that supports internet privacy supports trading child porn as that is the only way the feds cannot monitor the ISP line which goes hand on hand with Bitcoin anonymous.

Bitcoin is useless in the long run. Its only value is utility. It has no monetary value. What if something better than bitcoin comes along? What happens to your bitcoin?

>"federal" reserve
>private entity
Really makes you think

Ah you simplistic child,
a better may have been making ledger entries illegal
You're still missing the point that they aren't things like tokens that's just a simple colloquialism understandable to the laymen
They're usefulness is in it's ledger system, and the soft ware design which only force accurate accounting

US tender is useless in the long run. Its only value is utility. It has no monetary value. What if something better than US tender comes along? What happens to yourUS tender?

that depends many blockchain companies are starting up to to that, the speculative nature is more like the dotcom bubble that doesn't mean that the websites didn't function they we're just grossly overstimulated by a rigged stock market
However Veritaseum is working on solving that by allowing for peer to peer stock and other financial asset trading, which will cut a lot of the fraud out of the finance industry

Yeah, I agree. Crypto currency is pretty much fiat currency when not backed by gold.

That happened when they cleaned up the exchanges trading in speculation,
and guess what the price went up a couple weeks later
see

Well the utility is monetary value
As well as the supporting infrastructure which will be in the billions next year or so, that enables that utility, Forced truth in economys through decentralized ledgers is a far step above fiat, or gold as it's useful across borders and even in space,
Could LTC replace it as what you buy you're coffee with, probably, but not as a store of wealth for some time to come, Although VERI may wind up being more money

yeah, i don't get it either
currency that can't be controlled by the Federal Reserve should just be ruled illegal

You're not even trying to hide it aren't you? Well guess what, Crypto's out of Pandora's Box now, and this unregulated currency will have no need for Big Government nor your big fat ugly expensive War Machine. I can't fucking wait for all of you psychopathic greedy fucks to be out of a job (Trump included).

Blockchain is here to stay, early investors in the big 3 are reaping massive profits, crypto is the future. Deal with it. Why do you think so many major banks are desperately trying to figure out how to catch up and utilize the technology themselves?

t. FED shill

Let me remind you that only 40 years ago (2 generations) it was ILLEGAL to own gold. If you dont see what crypto allows you to do and how it can set you free, you're too dumb to be on /pol

bitcoin was started by the US and Chinese governments to keep themselves out of bankruptcy. They are the whales behind the scenes and will ultimately ban it when they achieve maximum profits.

...

>it was ILLEGAL to own gold.

Ayy lmoa!!!! seriously this never happende.

Because people aren't actually buying and selling anything.

You won!
Biggest bull of the day

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

really makes you think

ITT: buttmad kikes.
Tell me again how crypto is a scam but when a private company owned by a group of kikes (fed) take some paper and print dollar bills backed by thin air is perfectly fine?

>The stated reason for the order was that hard times had caused "hoarding" of gold, stalling economic growth and making the depression worse.
GOD DAMN 1%!!! THE LEFT WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!!!

>Might I ask how would it be illegal it's just software transfers of information packets?

yes and futhermore

Might I ask how would it be illegal to exchange mere pieces of paper that are printed with green intaglio presidential portraits dear sir?

because we uuuh, need about 10 random ppl to control the federal funds rate for a country of 300 million people

"forbidding the Hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States"
>Hoarding

Not owning. You could still own a rings, chains etc. Pls learn to read sempai ;)

>currency that can't be controlled by the Federal Reserve should just be ruled illegal
this so much

Government backing.

Yes it was dumbass

>the absoloute state of American education

It soon won't be legal. Rather, it will be used to incriminate anyone suspected of using it. To see a test run of a similar idea, look at how the NFA has been used (to great effect, I might add), to incriminate scores of gun-loving trailer trash nobody will ever hear about. Do I like guns? Not really. Do I vote for gun control? No! It has the same legal foundations as what will soon be cast over the entire cryptoconcurrency regime. As with guns - in the eyes of the ATF, if you own a pistol and a dremel tool, they can accuse you of having the tools necessary to create a full auto firearm. Similarly, with crypto, any suitably disagreeable computer user can be found guilty of having the tools to launder money - a computer with internet access. Proving "intent" is just a matter of the plaintiff (the state) making suitably emotional (but baseless) accusations about the terrible cyrpto money launderer sitting in the courtroom.

maybe on your piece of shit homo nigger loving country it was

Sounds socialist as fuck. Look how that worked out for venezuela or zimbabwe (could list a dozen less extreme examples)

What if it's only legal because it gives powerful people a convenient way to move money in secret?

>America
>not a piece of shit nigger loving country

Ive never been happier to be Norwegian than the last 10 years. We still have debate while you guys got fake news & idiocrasy.

Im good thanks

let me come pls

Keep your hands out of my pockets stateist nigger

The kikes already made their federal reserve answer to Bitcoin.

Because global chipset manufacturers in conjunction with national intelligence agencies own it. I find it funny how AMD/Intel/Nvidia has these cucks on a leash because they actually control the price.

Monero is what Bitcoin should have been.
It's the only untraceable and fungible cryptocurrency.
It's going to $5000, and right now it's at $100.

I am merely spreading the good word my friend.
Yes.

>I am merely spreading the good word my friend.

youre pumping up your shit ponzi scheme so you can dump it when the idiots buy in

NOW FUCK OFF

Your loss.

The government can impose a tax on valuable bits if the wish to. Until that happens, they can fuck right off.

How's OPs faggotry legal?

When using GNU Taler, merchant's revenue is transparent for tax collection authorities. Unlike cash and most digital currencies, Taler helps prevent black markets. Taler is not suitable for illegal activities.

most people that are getting into crypto currencies don't care about staying hidden or using it for illegal activities. they are mainly doing it for for investment possibilities.

ill go full retard inside ur mums pucci cuckboi

>they are mainly doing it for for investment possibilities.


right, it has ZERO use value. Hence, it's worthless. A PUMP AND DUMP SCAM.

>it has ZERO use value

very very very false. professional poker players use it to transfer 1000's sometimes millions of dollars anywhere across the globe in minutes. google even invests in it now. it is a revolutionary currency and bitcoin is accepted in every country in the world currently.

>It's a pump and dump scam

some people are trying to get rich of course, but there is almost no way to tank the value of bitcoin. there is only a certain number of coins that will ever be produced. even if someone does lower the value of bitcoin by a little bit, people will just buy like crazy once it starts to dip, driving the price back up.

BITCOIN IS CURRENTLY WORTH ABOUT 5000 USD

This. Let the non-believers look on in envy when even a tiny investment yields a thousand percent plus return

>digibyte
I love the memes but that shit is never taking off.

The technology isn't the issue. Its the people and lack of integrity within the community. Also, if it weren't blatantly obvious at this point, crypto is the new medium for laundering millions (you know, instead of having a patsy buy a $5k baseball cap from your amazon front).
