The Internal Revenue Service wants a piece of the crypto action

https://www.newsbreakapp.com/n/0MRBs2yi?s=a3&pd=023dWHXg The Internal Revenue Service wants a piece of the crypto action Yahoo! Donald Trump might not be a fan of cryptocurrencies, but the Internal Revenue Service still wants its cut of the profits. Shared from News Break _____________ Jim Bell's comment follows:As I understand it, in America buying and selling (foreign) currencies is tax-free. The IRS arbitrarily decided, maybe in 2013, that Bitcoin would be treated differently: presumably because they knew that it would dramatically appreciate, as it has, so that they would get a cut of the increase in value. Which, of course, is unfair. No actual value increase occurs.

Russia Probe Twist: The FBI, A Convicted Russian Agent, & A Billionaire American CEO

Intriguing relations between Russia and the USA - the FBI, very surprisingly, fails to uphold American statutory law. Another day, another exposure of Western brutishness and/ or hypocrisy and/ or outright evil. Russia Probe Twist: The FBI, A Convicted Russian Agent, & A Billionaire American CEO https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-28/russia-probe-twist-fbi-convicted-… The illegal UK seizure of an Iranian ship, and subsequent threatening of Iran with war for doing the exact same thing in response, is hypocrisy par uber: Tanker Seizures & The Threat To The Global Economy From Resurgent Imperialism https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-27/tanker-seizures-threat-global-eco… At the end of the day, it's so sad it's pathetic - partisan infighting dominates the consciousness week after week, year after year. The moral legitimacy of the West, the so called "liberal idea" etc, is in absolute tatters - or more realistically did not exist at least at the highest levels before the (((bankers))) repeatedly undermined our institutions for their personal, private gain to the detriment of all.

A simple $250M staking across up to roughly 1000 smart contracts will let you influence the entire US congress, the top two in each Executive and Military department, plus a good number of Judges, Bankers, State Governors, big city Police Chiefs and Mayors, etc. Even just half that scope is within the reach of hundreds of crypto hodlers. Given most influencees will wisely desist and or leave their GovCorp jobs well before any stake is ever expended, and only a few stakes will ever end up being spent... that seems a very low cost and low risk way for some crypto OG to impart real change in their lifetime. Not only will their smart contracts rarely trip into a spent condition, they will 100x their entire holdings by creating the most pro-cryptocurrency (aka: explicitly nonregulated) naturally adoption ready geopolitical environment they could ever dream of. Alternatively, the same $250M could also finance 5000 $50k "lobbying efforts" in favor of commitments to pro-cryptocurrency, etc. There is so much win that cryptocurrency hodlers could have out there if they would just realise and spend a little.
