SELLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!1 ..........

i do love investors buy in at 59000 and sell 26000

sorry to hear. But CGT is normally payable whether investment or speculation.
I see you are US based. Ironically if you were UK based or using a UK vehicle you could have perhaps anticipated this and have used a Spread-Bet channel -
Spreadbetting - is not only legal in UK, but profits are CGT taxfree.

"Investment" and "Bitcoin" dont live in the same sentence.
Im sorry to see anyone lose money in speculation.

20% is the long-term rate. Short-term is taxed as income. I held the position for nine years and never once professed queer emotions about it -- I'd call that an investment.

I understand.- 2011- we bought about $1k. But it was a "Punt". Not investment.
Then - two words - Mt Gox. ??? May get some return now with settlement.. but thu OS company .. so tax may be smallest of probs.. thats life ... fight on. They say even winning Lottery apparently brings probs.
Good Trading.

There are those on BOTH sides of the argument on BTC etc. That will NOT AT ALL be surprised by this fall . After all my take is the fall is alongside everything else (which usually happens in times like these.) Stocks commodities etc. the fall is universal. (layoffs and housing next.....)
Some will be able to ride horrendous losses, some will be forced out of the market (margin called) Some were waiting (expecting) for this drop deciding simply when to reenter. On the upside this next few months could be the next once in a century opportunity. (Though we had two others within the last fifteen years).
On the other side when Japan crashed and their rates went to near zero (nowhere else to go) it zombiefied. We are at zero now and I amongst many at this site see no way up.
BTC may prove cheap at the 60 odd thousand level it was, time will tell. If your risk management is sound then whats to worry about?

bitcoin real price is somewhere between $0,07 and $0,10, so don't be wondered

yes a lot had the greed imprinted in their brain mate

HODDDLLLLLLLL!!!!!1

Then why did I pay 20% cap gains on my bitcoin profits.

Is Saylor strong enough to hold the bag????!?
