Well, the term "wealthy" is subjective. To me you're wealthy if you own your own house, have a good income, and have savings. If on paper you're worth £250k+ with an income of £50k+ then I'd say that's wealthy. But other people consider "wealthy" to mean very comfortable, maybe £1m+, rather than merely stable and comfortable. And I'm sure there's millionaires out there who don't think they're wealthy because they strive to be billionaires. While to some people in the world, even I'm wealthy, because I have somewhere to live and don't have to worry about where my next meal is coming from. I can afford luxuries like weed and occasional holidays. It greatly depends on your point of view. | |

What a load of rubbish you spout, theres usually a reason why the value is at or near 0 ......its virtually worthless because it has no value and no chance of earning any value. |

Oh yeah, market manipulation. It's probably true you can't just fire up an army of bots on twitter and send a coin rocketing upwards. But, you could with a bit of capital, hire someone with a profile to big up your coin. Isn't Nigel Farage advertising financial advice now? I'm sure he'd shill your coin for a £1k or so. | |

I don't think Farage is the man to approach, but for sure there are influencers who get involved in this kind of thing. They're supposed to be ethical and make it clear they have been paid to promote what they're shilling, but occasionally they don't. When they get found out, it's bad for the coin, because it brings into question the judgement of the developers. Again, potentially counterproductive. | |

Not necessarily .... most cryptos are public blockchains so all transactions can be tracked . When you can link a wallet to a fiat transfer and then access the records from the bank of who controls the account that was involved then all of that wallets transactions can be tracked. |

You've already addressed what I pretty much learned today. I was looking at $monero as a potential investment, after making that post funnily enough because I figured it would be the ideal coin for the purpose of hiding money from the taxman, which makes it a very appealing investment. But I also noted it took a serious price hit when one small exchange delisted it after pressure from authorities. That made me worried about the effect if a large exchange delisted it. | |

I think my plan with $dent is maybe to jump out when it reaches its all time high. It hit $0.10+ in 2018, if it got there in the past of course it can do so again. So I might sell up at $0.10 if it does get there again, and put that money into another coin, perhaps bitcoin, but maybe a privacy coin like monero, or an exchange token like FTT. Long way to go before dent gets to $0.10 though, and if it gets there on the back of them getting a big contract, then I might hold for longer. Not sure. I'm not selling at current price though. | |

Be careful with that thinking , the exchanges usually report the transactions to tax authorites in the clients countries (most of the larger exchanges require KYC checks before you get to trade ) otherwise they find that it becomes very hard for them to operate as banks get pressure to cut all ties preventing new funds to be deposited into the exchange and profits to be withdrawn . |

I'm not trying to dodge the taxman myself. I'm just thinking that a coin that allow people to dodge the taxman will be in high demand. I don't care about the "scum of the earth" using the coin. I'm not in crypto to judge other people. I'm in it to make money. I'm not sure it's easy for people to just steal your coins, monero is supposed to be secure. I'd be more worried about leaving the coins on an exchange though. | |

Wierdness from reading the manual is that UK mined coins are treated as income ......but you can offset your electric and equipments costs (i.e graphics cards) against it to reduce your income tax due. and the value when you receive the mined coins is taken as the buying price for capital gains tax purposes. |
05-04-2021 04:30 PM
#325
| |
Huh? I took from that manual the complete opposite - that electric and equipment were non-deductable (ie you can't offset them). | |

Oh I'm probably wrong on the CGT. I scanned through it and I'm not inclined to read it again. It's not something I'll worry about until I need to, and by then I'll be happy about it. | |

I helped wreck someone last night. The coin I've been playing with is safesun, another shitcoin with a stupid name. I was selling at 2200 and buying at 1800, give or take incremental price wars with other traders. My last trade was a buy at 1811, then before I could put in a sell order the coin started pumping, quickly hitting 3000+ and peaking overnight at 10000 before settling around 6500. Imagine being that seller. | |

these 5% swing trades im doing may not sound sexy making $50 a trade but do a 100 and you've locked in 5k of gains. as you keep making money you can then add coins that you're trading or trade larger amounts each trade for a bigger profit .its a bit like stealing the blinds from guys that fold too much . |

£12.5k, then CGT depends on how much income tax you pay. You could pay as little as 10%, or as much as 20%. | |

Keith, what exchange do you use? Ong? It seems like Coinbase or the like would evaporate any short term trade gains via fees. | |
05-08-2021 11:22 AM
#356

I use binance and bitmart. Fees are like rake, if you're playing good poker you beat the rake. Binance fees are 0.1% (discounted if you hold $BNB), bitmart I think is 0.25%, while there's also sometimes a fee associated with the coin itself, in the case of the coin I'm playing with it's 10%. So I'm having to make around 15% profit in a sell/buy transaction pair to beat the rake. I've turned a 500k stack into 4.4m doing this, so yes you can beat the rake. | |

I'm up to 5.3m, and I cashed out around $40 to buy into another coin so I've got a bonus investment too. It's ridiculous how easy this is. | |

I made a pretty big mistake too, filling in the sell box instead of buy box, thus selling my coins a lot cheaper than I would have considered. Such a stupid mistake, it cost me nearly 1m coins. Despite that I'm nearly 1m up on the night and I have $40 in another coin. Like I say, ridiculous. $8 to $300 without the coin even pumping that much. It's pumped a bit since I bought in but that isn't where the bulk of my profits are coming from. | |

What is your insight into exchanges that allows you to profit? Are you arbitraging across exchanges? Or is it as simple as buy order at X and sell order at x*>1, rinse and repeat? How do you forecast what the >1 variable will be? If it's back looking, isn't that pretty unreliable? | |
