I’m in temporary accommodation for a few weeks, away from much of my work environment. In a moment of weakness BBC’s “Celebrity Race Across The World” caught my attention…
Starting location: Isla Mujeres
Second destination: El Zonte
Hidden #Bitcoin messages from Auntie Beeb? Who’da thunk it?
Scenario: I use #Strike to buy a coffee at a #Square terminal showing a #Bitcoin #Lightning QR code from my fiat reserves and the merchant elects to receive 100% in fiat.
Question: Is either party responsible for #BTC acquisition/disposal and the tax implications involved?
Totally off topic; I would like to know why there is an increasing propensity to put question marks at the end of statements?
[sic]
Would I be right in thinking the larger #Bitcoin community still think in $$$ terms and triggered buying at $100k. Don’t they realise 1BTC = 1BTC?
Here’s the text of a certain whitepaper from 17 years ago. Zoom in!
I just ordered a coffee and was asked by the (ahem, slightly older lady) for a name to call when it was ready. “Nakamoto” says I. A confused look followed by: Shall I just put down “Smith”? One day somebody will ask “Like Satoshi Nakamoto?” Just you wait and see.
Bitcoin NGU, Dollar NGD
#Bitcoin breaks $100k 👍
#Bitcoin falls to $109k 👎

You know that part of Monopoly when players can auction property to raise money? Imagine if one player could just print money; that’s inflation!
Make your minds up!
Bear trap?
… but not a polar bear. Obvs!

I have a thought about the recent fall in dominance of #Bitcoin.
People see #BTC doing well, think it’s too late/expensive to get involved and incorrectly conclude the next wave of profit is to be made on altcoins.
Is there any research to back this up?
£100k incoming…
Bitchat told me I took a screenshot. Nice touch.
If/when #Bitcoin is adopted as the global reserve currency its key differentiator from fiat currencies will be the fixed supply. How is this different from Margaret Thatcher’s monetarism which sought to limit inflation by reducing the money supply and which, more to the point, ultimately failed rather badly?
