    The $1,200 Stimulus Check Exchanged for Bitcoin Will Become the Best Investment in History

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 11:18 AM PDT

    I knew about Bitcoin when the price was around $200 and I've been kicking myself in the butt for not buying it because I thought $200 is expensive. I wish in the future I can look back in history and consider $20K is cheap

    Powell set to deliver 'profoundly consequential' speech, changing how the Fed views inflation

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 04:01 PM PDT

    Just got a letter in the mail from the IRS.. Coinbase??

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 02:45 PM PDT

    NEVER owned ANY funds in Coinbase. I simply had an account there and the IRS sent me a 6174-A. (Look this letter up for context)

    I inquired on it with the IRS directly and was met with an "apology" over the phone, that they're sending these to all CoinBase users whether they have funds or not..

    This letter seemed a bit threatening to me in a sense for just having an account there..

    Ugh. Has anyone else gotten this yet? I verified the letter is indeed legitimate and they're in the process of mailing these in bulk since the IRS supposedly subpoenaed Coinbase's account records...

    Is there something I'm not updated on?

    Powell set to deliver ‘profoundly consequential’ speech, changing how the Fed views inflation

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 02:01 PM PDT

    • Fed Chairman Jerome Powell speak Thursday during a virtual version of the Fed's annual Jackson Hole, Wyoming conference.
    • He is expected to outline what could be the central bank's most active efforts ever to spur inflation back to a healthy level.
    • "Average inflation" targeting means the Fed will allow inflation to run higher than normal for a period of time.
    • The effort will be the reverse of former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker's rate hikes instituted to quash inflation in the 1980s.

    Haha Bitcoin number go up

    If you ever received an IRS letter about cryptocurrency, can you explain what happened?

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 07:54 PM PDT

    I got letter 6174-A in the mail last week and have already contacted a crypto attorney/CPA to start amending tax returns, but am curious what other peoples' experiences were in the past. Was anyone audited even after amending? Did anything lead to criminal charges?

    Is anyone doing a payment round up card or app that collects and deposits into crypto in the U.K.? I know Revolut do, but I have only seen bad reviews.

    I know that Revolut do this but I have only read bad reviews. No customer service, unable to move the crypto out.

    Become a Bitcoin Millionaire in 5 years

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 06:40 PM PDT

    I figured the fastest way possible for an ordinary joe like myself to become a bitcoin millionaire is to simply acquire 10 coins and HODL that shit for the next 5 year bull run.

    By the next Halving the price of 1 coin most likely will be anywhere from 100k-200k

    Good luck you future millionaires

    Introducing BTCMessage - Send an Easily Visible Message to any Bitcoin Address

    Posted: 25 Aug 2020 01:54 AM PDT

    Given the USA's power privilege on the world stage, if they were to adopt Bitcoin, instead of attacking it, and accept it as a form of tax payment, it might actually cement the US government's leadership role on the world stage for years to come. It's actually scary that this is one possible future

    Posted: 24 Aug 2020 03:30 PM PDT

    What if the US government decides to pay the Pentagon in Bitcoin instead of USD?
