So, has anyone here tried to renew there VIp with Bitcoin here?

First was complicated because I never used Bitcoin, but now is not complicated. Once you buy, the minimum amouth is 100 U$S and download de app Blockchain you can buy and sell online. Also you can use your account to receive payments from customers, Is annonymus.

It gives the illusion of anonymity, but it's really not anonymous. Besides the wild price gyrations using bitcoin makes it LOOK like you are hiding something, and I fear at some date everyone using bitcoin will have all of their transactions laid bare to the IRS, and before you say "That can NEVER happen" just ask anyone who has/had a Swiss bank account. ANYTHING can happen.

Bitcoin doesn’t provide anonymity? Maybe you’re aquiring Bitcoin incorrectly? There are several ways to purchase Bitcoin anonymously.

of your best posts ever, and its not even about pussy.  As a businessman who deals in large transactions, I couldn't agree more.  I will add that with cash transactions, business accounts are rarely flagged or reported by he banks unless a large percentage of the banking transactions are cash.  If you're running a few million a month  through your business accounts, and ten percent is in cash, it hardly gets noticed, and withdrawing cash is much less of an issue than depositing cash.    The threshold on personal consumer accounts is much lower.  

Not sure how they are notified. The transactions are private, but you probably have to provide real life information. Don’t know personally but read about the IRS.

I don't do bitcoin. I had to throw cold water on a friend who wanted to mine bitcoins as the price was going up towards $20,000 in late 2017 (now down to around $9,000). There are transaction fees just to make a payment to someone using bitcoin (bitcoin to bitcoin). Anybody have any numbers?  
.
If you want to "cash out" some bitcoins, there are transaction fees for that, too. The fee for cash-to-bitcoin or bitcoin-to-cash seems to be around 1.5%. If you need $1000 cash to pay for a couple of hours of service, it will cost you an extra $15 which is $15 you won't have to spend on a nice box of wine to bring along.

Basically, If you're buying it with a USD bank transfer it's not anonymous.

Every trade is a taxable event currently, so it gets complicated but it's more or less like day trading.

This was supposed to reply to GaGambler.  Sorry, I'm new here.  Lol

You have to think bigger imposter man. There are plenty of crypto currencies that have low transaction fees when you're moving the crypto from person to person (or wallet to wallet).  
The current Bitcoin (BTC) transaction fee is $1.57, Litecoin (LTC) is $0.17, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is $0.06, Ripple (XRP) is $0.005, and Monero is $1.80. These are all highly variable, so if you shop around a little, or are willing to wait awhile, you can always beat the averages. The reason being, you're not paying to use the network like you would be with VISA et all, you're really just paying to increase the chance of a transaction getting included in the next round of processing. You can pay zero, or very low fees, if you're ok with waiting.  

who are in cash businesses.  They think because cash is not readily traceable, they don't need to file a return at all.  However, its fairly transparent that if you are paying rent, making car and credit card payments (which info is anything but private), in most cases,  unless you received an inheritance of some sort,  you DO have income coming in from somewhere. I know many long-term providers who declare some income to the IRS and pay the tax on it.  They will put their occupation down as private tour guide, personal shopper, party planner, or some other profession that is a cash business and then set their income level at the average for people in that business.    If they take the standard deduction on their tax return, there is nothing to audit, and there are no 1099's floating around to dispute the declared income amount.   However, you should make sure that your declared "income" is at least twice what your TRACEAB;E expenditures are, or the disparity can blow up on you.

The link to Walmart has a 5L box of Franzia for 13. Boone’s farm is 4 for .750L. So he’s good to go on Franzia paying 1/2 that of Boone’s Farm LoL  

The wine has some wonderful qualities.

to invest hundreds of dollars into Bitcoin. Just enough to cover your VIP here.

by using Crisco instead of pig fat and then stroke yourself a little slower with a looser grip.  Problem solved.  

It was 3 in 1 oil, but I've swtiched over to WD40.

Buying and using bitcoin isn't ever the problem. Maybe it ends up being a little more expensive here and there because of price fluctuations, but realistically it's a few dollars and isn't a big deal.

Bitcoin is climbing again close to 10,000

since this is unregulated, there are guys manipulating the prices?  This is like the early days of the penny stock markets.  The suckers all want to play but a few billionaires control price movement.  its just penny stocks for millennials.  Of course its going up.  They will slowly raise prices again  while the suckers buy into a rising market, then they will crash  it again, and buy back in at 40 or 50% less, then start the slow rise all over again.  Small players will get fleeced every time.  Unless you have the kind of money to hold off a manipulation by a billionaire, you shouldn't be in this market.  The regular stock market was the same way prior to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which was the result of when Joseph P. Kennedy (father of the President Kennedy) was tapped to reform the stock market because he  was one of the biggest manipulators and knew what loopholes had to be closed after the crash of 1929.  (He was also a bootlegger during prohibition, but that's another story.)

It's not hard to ride the pump and dump and play along with big players who are manipulating the price.

I thought i had found tbe HolyGrail. When i started playing stick options back in the early 80's.. buy sell.. buy sell... until i bought and could not sell.. Bitcoin seems pretty similar.. i bought $1000 of options and three days later they were worth $5,000.. i sold them and put the $5,000 back in. I had the magic formula... over and over until i put about $25,000 i to a sure thing.. that became worthless.. lesson learned... but i had to pay taxes on the gains.. ugh...

Still have a few in my basement.

If you're trading by hovering over the "sell" button you're doing it wrong.
