there's some rumblings that HMRC in the UK is also planning a big tax clampdown on crypto, specifically a reminder letter sent to coinbase customers in the UK that any income from crypto trading is subject to tax

Buying And Selling Bitcoin On Robinhood. What am I missing? (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 4 hours ago by MarinetteXLila

I'll try to keep this quick:
I want to buy bitcoins low and sell them high. I also use Robinhood and don't know a ton about the features.
I know there is a button to set a price to buy at a certain price and sell at a certain price.
So with Robinhood does a buy and sell "settle" automatically for Bitcoin or does it take 2 days? I don't know what account I have on Robinhood but I sold a stock for a pretty high price because it was at an all time high I thought it might drop the next day (today) and I was right it dropped like 5 percent... But I didn't know it would take 2 days for those funds to settle... I thought that when you sold you can use that money instantly...?
Does Bitcoin follow the same path or because it can be traded 24/7 are the fund settled instantly?
I definitely feel Bitcoin moves around a lot and can easily make money by at the moment maybe just buy for 56,000 and sell for 57,000 and repeat like like 100 times or whatever interval of 1000 it is at the time... It moves around enough to do that so why doesn't everyone do that??? Is it illegal or something???
I heard that day trade limit of 3 doesn't apply to Bitcoin... Does it apply to Bitcoin?
What am I missing? Tell me?

emphasis mine. this brain genius gonna make so much money.

Stablecoins are dangerous because they have the potential to change the current selection effects on the elite. For one thing, stablecoins subvert the ability of the Federal Reserve to print money and give it to their friends at Goldman Sachs et al --- normally this is supposed to result in their friends have a larger fraction of money than they previously had. You start with 1 dollar, David at Goldman Sachs starts with 1 dollar, you each have 50% of the wealth in the "nation." David and his friends start printing themselves money, soon they have 99 dollars and you have 1. That's how inflation works.
When there's stablecoin, you just put your dollar in bitcoin before they print the money, the dollar inflates, bitcoin goes up proportionately, you spend the bitcoin and things remain fair.

This obviously curtails the ability of the ruling class to reproduce itself. More than that, if the pool of people getting billions through stablecoins is more random than the pool of people who got rich on the dollar, then the ruling class will change to be more representative of the population as a whole.

This could cause massive cultural changes, consequently.

it will get rid of the ruling class. also, it will make me the ruling class, which is more fair

i believe that post assumes that the value of bitcoin is a fixed objective unchanging reality, and the only thing that changes is the supply of dollars and/or stablecoins

it also assumes that they'll tell you ahead of time before minting a bunch of new tethers so you can move your money into bitcoin before inflation happens, which lmao ok sure buddy
