Technically yes, the same rules apply as if you were trading in any international currency. If you sell yen at a profit to convert to USD & purchase something, you owe tax. What sort of tax can be complicated depending on how long the asset was held. I'm not an accountant, but I think assets held less than a year are taxed as personal income, so marginal rates apply. Assets held longer than a year are, I believe, taxed as regular capital gains.

I'm not sure what would/should happen with extremely short term trades, i.e, you convert to Euros from USD for a vacation, the USD crashes, you convert back upon return from your vacation. I doubt the IRS worries too much about it, but I suppose technically you should file Form 8949 along with a Schedule D.

As a fellow Scot, i will vote SNP in next years Scottish election. That election could be a landslide for them, Leading to another independence vote. Even before the effects of Brexit are felt, there is a slight lead for the yes camp. Perhaps we need to be a poor small country in Europe with a voice rather than ignored in Westminster. A sad day.
I'm amazed at reading British HNers who are presumably mostly rational calling Brexit "evil" and "racist" on this thread.

I personally think Brexit is probably an ill-advised move for the UK, but the feelings provoked here by leaving a historically recent trade and cultural union are far, far out of proportion with the deed itself.

If anything actually destroys your country, it'll be the exaggerated emotional response shown by each of the two sides in this debate.

While mostly true, let’s put this into perspective: A GS-15 in a metro area like New York, DC, and San Francisco, with experience, can get over $170. Throw in performance bonus and matching contributions, and total compensation is $180k+. That does not compare with the high end of the private sector, but that’s reasonable for a lot of people, even at tech companies.

Well, yes, but you need to accelerate first. Just like you don't accelerate a car from a stop light in fifth gear.

I hang out on some cycling subreddits and they commonly get questions from new cyclists that are totally clueless about how gears work. Some of them have it it completely backwards, ie start in a high (slow) gear and progressively shift down to a low (fast) gear as you get up to speed.

I always thought it was intuitive, but I guess I also got my first 5 speed bike around 7 years old or so, I can't really remember. I do remember having an RC car with 2 speeds Ang getting the principles pretty quick: gear one would accelerate faster but top out quick, while gear 2 had slower pick up but higher top speed.

No idea what this means. Can you elaborate?
The phrase 'Russia "hacked" the elections, making Trump win' implies tampering with the voting and vote counting. You've linked an influence operation that may have involved computer hacking.

It's also, you know, pretty clear that Russia was running influence operations, not a media delusion.

That was a pretty short crash though. Things did go down, but it wasn't for long enough that it might affect things like ability to get credit or business function.

If the market crashed for a prolonged period I would expect that to be more difficult to sneak through.
> Just look what they did to Greece.

Bailed them out of their own short-sightedness, helping to negotiate on Greece’s behalf to force the people Greece/Greek banks owed money to agree to not get it all back, and still helped them as best as possible even though they rejected the terms of the third bailout?

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t claim to know economics well enough to argue how good the Euro is or what reforms it might need to make “The EU bails out Greece” an equivalent statement to “The USA bails out Alabama”, but politically the EU were good on this one.
Not necessarily. Is unencrypted data even sent to the server? That's controlled at the application layer.

In the past 110 years Russian currency depreciated against USD at a something like trillion times.

It's a safe bet that it'll continue the trend (with some occasional and not too long lapses of stae slowish decline), and actually bitcoin is a rather safe bet against rouble. After all, it's not backed by Putin's government!
That's an interesting idea… something like sigrok integration, maybe?

Sometimes the whole world goes insane, but sometimes I find it was just me.

Perhaps they know something we don’t.

I mean, if internal combustion engines are RAPIDLY outlawed faster than the other manufacturers are able to complete, and those companies go out of business, and Tesla buys them... then Tesla would prove to be massively undervalued. As more and more people put their money on that, it becomes less of an insane possibility and more of a certainty.

I mean, why doesn’t Tesla buy the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th largest US manufacturers?
The parent commenter's point is specifically asking how an investor (such as a hedge fund) should actually pursue the short so that it's successful. Most TSLA shorts are institutional; just starting a hedge fund is insufficient.

Thanks, a good explanation. And I don't think money has an inherent need to be government controlled in order to be stable either. (Though I do see some benefits)

But I think it's relevant to split hairs a bit and say that "sound" often has the sense of "firm" or "solid/reliable", but that is not an inherent property of non-governmental currencies that can be controlled by groups that are no more beholden to users of the currency than governments. (Consider Facebook's attempt at creating a currency as an example)
Part of the argument here is that even with pre-existing technologies, the current players have essentially made markets.

Smartphones and tablets existed, but consumers didn't buy them in today's numbers until Apple/Android came along.
>I'm mostly guessing at this because I'm not very familiar with Lightning Network, but I think they'd need to be closed out periodically as well in order to settle up?

AFAIK they can be kept open indefinitely.

>Plus, I think you'd ideally want an account with each vendor that you deal with, not just one account, otherwise I think the channel would probably need to be managed by some central authority who manages the accounting between you and whoever you're keeping these side accounts with

The whole point of lightning is that you can use the network to route money between nodes, so you could make payments even if you don't have a channel open with the person you want to make payments with. It's not unlike how international wires work. If you bank with a local credit union in country A and you want to wire money to another local credit union in country B, the wire might bounce between multiple "correspondent banks" eg. credit union A -> big bank A -> big bank B -> credit union B.
Humans were also unaware of numbers and counting until we discovered/invented them in antiquity. We may be unaware of limitations that we have now, but we seem to be in a unique position in the animal kingdom to be able to overcome those conceptual limitations once a need for those concepts is identified.
Same freezing problem, company issued laptop 100mbit internet connection. Same feedback from hundreds of people. Half a gigabyte RAM or more even when Teams inactive. Other softwares have solved this problem so I will agree with the opinion that Teams team should put their act together. I will postpone prioritizing Teams ips to the routers.
The problem with Tesla is that the opportunity for FSD is insane. Either the market is mispricing the risk or the shorts are, but the asymmetric upside if Tesla succeeds makes it a risky short. Asymmetric downside.
That's interesting. Reducing overall traffic speed would render most traffic lights obsolete. Traffic lights are only necessary in order to allow heavy machinery going >30mph in dense areas.

I think we will have to ask ourselves the question in the future: do we want heavy machinery at high speed in populated areas including red lights for all other means of transportation - or do we want populated areas with no/almost no traffic lights and faster traffic for foot/cycling traffic?

I think Hertz illustrates your point better. They are a poorly managed company with mountains of debt. Their business model imploded short term with the pandemic, but they were on shaky long term footing without the pandemic. There is no hope of this company becoming successful in the near term. With all of this information publicly available, retail investors on /r/wsb decided it would be funny to pump the stock and try to flip it for short term gains, and a whole bunch of people who saw Hertz tending on the Robinhood app bought in. The demand was so big that Hertz, a bankrupt company that was about to be carved up and sold off to creditors, issued stock that sold like hotcakes. It's utterly bizarre.

It's called "reverse charge". If there is a general tax agreement between your country and the EU, no VAT becomes due at the country of origin (of goods and/or services), but you are supposed to declare the purchase locally and pay local VAT, if applicable. There's also usually a marginal sum, below wich goods and services are free of charge (the sum of it, which includes any postage), about EUR 20.

(Mind that this mechanism requires tax or VAT IDs on both sides of the transactions, which are to be declared.)
> Perhaps they know something we don’t.

But how would that work? TSLA's valuation is entirely based on the collective 'we', not some secret only Tesla knows.
But does it aid in understanding regular models, as they might have a bayesian interpretation?
> I am sorry that the clothing cyclists wear illicits so much anger in you.

By "cyclist" do you mean "roadie"? This is a fairly narrow view; most cyclists use bikes for commuting, not for sport. I consider myself an avid cyclist and I find lycra kits extremely ridiculous; for my commute I just use regular work clothes. I'm actually a bit ashamed to use a bike when I cross these fat idiots with obnoxious colorful clothes on their carbon bikes, as I don't want to be identified with them in any way.

Absolutely, go r/vzla so you can find everyone making fun of bitcoin usage in venezuela :), bitcoin is actually a meme there for this sole reason, people outside think bitcoin is used, when is not.

As for OP, had no other options to call me a "maduro bot", when Im clearly stating that localbitcoins is exactly the place where all the maduro corrupt officials clean their drug/stolen money. haha.

Let me remind you that, the venezuelan corrupt goverment LOVES crypto, because it allows them to clean their stolen money. Thats why they are even mining it themselves [1] with free power and stolen bitcoin mining machines [2]

And to finish, you can literally find the westerunion guidelines on how to send money to venezuela [3] where it clearly states that you can receive remittances in any office of "zoom cambios" in venezuelan territory.

Thanks, I didn't know ACH was US only. As for slow, I've had things go through literally instantly, where I make the transaction, login to my bank account, and see it posted. When it's been slow, that always seems to be a factor with the sending entity (like PayPal) not my receiving bank. (Could be bank specific though)
People here talking about Venezuela seem to be ignoring the fact that maybe if that country wasn't such a disaster politically bottom-of-barrel solutions like Bitcoin wouldn't be needed.

If the best excuse for Bitcoin is that it's the only thing that works when a governed society has broken down almost completely then maybe it's better to think about how we can avoid that kind of breakdown than it is to invest energy into trash like cryptocurrency.

How does the growth of TSLA compare to AMZN? For years, AMZN did not make profits as it built out and expanded. Were there people trying to short AMZN and predict it's doom? Nothing is new in the world, so are there other similar things in history to compare these decision indicators?

There is a limit to what can be understood by our human minds. It is arrogance to assume that we are somehow the frontier and limitation of what intelligence is.

It is far likely that we are the fish in the koi pond. Absolute in our belief that there is no up or down, only forward, backwards and sideways.

So many weird things that we see in our dimension that doesn't make sense. Imagine if you picked up a fish and dropped it behind another fish. It is pure magic, teleporation, act of god to the occupants of the koi pond. It would never understand what is outside the pond and why.

Simlarily, it is the common belief that we humans are also those fish in the koi ponds, desperate to explain away and make sense of the unknowable.
Thanks for the reply! If we are moving through our galaxy at 220 km/s how long would we have to watch one of these things to determine its precise location (assuming its close) or alternatively set a limit on its distance?
Nah, they're back in Santa Barbara, California. Vancouver Island is a beautiful area, but it's pretty far from the nexus of the entertainment industry.

The UK and Canada are quite culturally similar though. I could see CANZUK working pretty well, if the politicians ever get around to implementing it.
I have more personal experiences like that, with different people, at different companies. I want people to know that these things happen behind the scenes, and they likely aren't aware of them. The only want to hear about experiences where the game is rigged against them, but never scenarios where it is rigged for them. But people should know that it happens both ways.
