CampingCarl posted:i wonder how the definition of virtual currency will get narrowed. there are lots of things that aren't really a unit of account but in practice are treated as such or are easily exchanged for something that is. then there were places that let you buy/sell hats with bitcoin which i imagine is something that should get taxed at some point in the process. i am really curious how all that works if there is another thread on the topic outside of bitcoiners getting mad at men with guns. the thing is the irs is actually pretty good about this, and if it weren't for the deliberate hamstringing by republicans there'd be little question this would be sorted out reasonably well.

 people living in areas with hyperinflating currencies are flocking to bitcoin in droves!!  btcsa 19 points 11 hours ago I just got back from Argentina where I was there for a month traveling. I went with bitcoin to sell to fund my travels. Did not sell any. I expected tons of people to be wanting bitcoin. It was not like that. Hardly anyone knew what it was, and the ones who did, were not keen to buy from me. Even when I offered it at a discount price, just so that I could get pesos to pay for things on my holiday, they were not interested. I joined facebook groups and chatted to people there who were mostly scammers looking for me to send bitcoin first....no person wanted to meet face to face for cash. I joined Telegram groups and those guys were more interested, but none of the guys I chatted to actually followed through. The best I could get was to have some of them suggest I just go and sell it on a bitcoin ATM. I did go and find an ATM, but was not able to sell bitcoin with it since it was not working properly. Was a bit of a bummer for me, since I was really hoping to sell some bitcoin there to fund things. Why has Bitcoin failed to become the #1 currency in Venezuela? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 6 hours ago by currency_use_case the competition doesn't get any easier guys. The Bolivar is the easiest currency in the world to beat. Why hasn't Bitcoin or any other currency become #1 in Venezuela? currency_use_case[S] 0 points 5 hours ago "local bitcoins has good volume but it is used among the affluent that actually have money" What if the non-affuent put just 1% of their monthly income into Bitcoin? "Bolivars are so worthless that monthly wages would barely pay for fees to use bitcoin and people need to eat so they spend immediately." That's a vicious circle that keeps the Bolivar going. A transition marketing campaign of people switching 1% of their monthly income to Bitcoin is an idea of something to do "Bolivars are so worthless that monthly wages would barely pay for fees to use bitcoin" With the amount they are saving in purchasing power, they could afford to pay a few cents USD in fees castorfromtheva 1 point 5 hours ago Because most people don't trust anything they don't understand. Which in case of bitcoin is maths in the first place. BTC-brother2018 1 point 5 hours ago They need to get the infrastructure in place so employers can start paying their workers in bitcoin. currency_use_case[S] 2 points 5 hours ago have to start gradually. Example , start offering paycheques in BTC (employees can elect if they want Bolivars or BTC) shanita10 1 point 2 hours ago Who says it hasn't ? cointastical 1 point 2 hours ago For a number of people in Venezuela, bitcoin is their #1 currency. JosceOfGloucester 2 points 6 hours ago Great question. Mark_Bearredditor for 3 months 1 point 5 hours ago I second this.

kw0134 posted:a good starting point would be the purpose of the token in question, and not merely taking the creators' word for it. bitcoin describes itself as a currency, so there's that. ethereum describes itself as a token for exchange and to do other techbro messianic bullshit, so it fits. dogecoin was described as a joke but since on the whole it traded like a speculative vehicle with a settled value at any given moment in time, then yeah. the primary purpose of wow gold is to pay repair costs when you die in the game and also buy fake gear that can't really be traded, so we'd exclude it. that should narrow it down reasonably well while still catching a pretty broad net. anythign else would be figured out on a case by case basis, but that's usually how it works anyway in the real world. consider a gift of a gold ring, versus being paid in gold krueggerrands versus buying a gold certificate entitling you to a bar of the stuff stored in a vault somewhere; all three would be treated differently even though the thing giving it value is exactly the same.  and talks like a it will get taxed as a , no matter how much you say it is a  . my mind is more on the topic of things where the intended purpose of the token is not a currency or store of value but end up being one. some steam items are good examples, those vaporware games that promised to put your items on a blockchain so evil admins couldnt take your items could be another if they existed. your example of the gold items being treated differently confuses me a bit on this unless i misunderstood, as i would think in general if the value is the same the irs would tax them the same. im sure the irs could figure it all out, lobbyists and such aside, and probably dont have the resources to nail down every edge case. its something ive been wondering about for a while with people paying stupid money for hats, valve collecting tax information (which i cant find good info on how it is taxed, just they report to irs) and keys being used as money laundering, evading currency controls, scams etc. which is a familiar set of use cases for this thread. ...! posted:currency_use_case[S] 0 points 5 hours ago

CampingCarl posted:i understand in general if it walks like a the example of gold is to illustrate that you can have gold be non-taxable (because it's a gift, and would count against lifetime totals), or as straight wages, or as investments which may have favorable tax treatment. you'd think that they should be all the same, but i can give real examples where they are not.

Soricidus posted:what happened to the petro I realise leaving the house and talking to people is cheating, but it can pay off on thursday I spoke to an actual Venezuelan (who is a big fan of my book, so obviously an intelligent gentleman of taste) the real use case for cryptos would be expat Venezuelans sending money - meaning dollars - home. this is apparently a fraught endeavour - you send stuff from account to account, there's a step or two that's "i know a guy", etc ... and this is still easier than it would be with bitcoins and - there is no evidence that petros even exist. you cannot buy one. they're legal tender, but first get one fucko.
