Photex posted:Not sure if this falls within the rules but the BWM thread would love the ongoing twitch streamer Crumps drama as it is also relevant to the IRS, he's been dodging the IRS for years and they are finally coming after him and he is in denial that he owes any money. Dog you gotta give better backstory than some link to some dumb badly CSSed subreddit.

Sure no problem Crumps was one of the original Binding of Isaac speedrunners, he started up the BoilR races which were sponsored by twitch so he built up a huge following then every streamer who ever worked with him refuse to do so anymore. He's a giant man child who throws tantrums on stream and bans his subscribers on the regular. Recently his numbers have dropped off and he's been getting hounded by the IRS because he owes around $3000-4000. He's pretty open about being a dick to the IRS even goes to explain how he sent a payment plan offer them at $1 a month The bad with money part? https://clips.twitch.tv/DeliciousCrackySnakePanicVis he's actively hunting down every Rydia card from the Final Fantasy Card Game and buying them all up all while the IRS is up his rear end.  It's never his fault and it's glorious because he's such a douche.

If you're going to try to gently caress with the IRS maybe don't do it in public, guy.

I'm trying to twist my mind to understand the process by where he thought "there's someone out there who, instead of easily buying anonymous Cryptocurrency on their own, really needs an anonymous forum poster to buy it for them and will split the profits as just compensation, or eat the entire loss if it comes to that". Then I remember there's just no accounting for stupid.

I liked watching some streamers for games I would play. Some of them were really informative and I would learn a lot about the game. Of course, this was when you could watch old recorded streams at your leisure.

spwrozek posted:Golden State spent $200K on Champagne after winning the NBA championship last night. Pretty much all of it was sprayed in the air and went down the drain. I know they are a pro basketball team but still pretty BWM. Forgive me thread, for I have sinned: when I read this post, I immediately began trying to rationalize the expense.  Photex posted:what the hell is Ethereum? is it some new funny money? I didn't see anyone answer you. Yes, it is, with the added bonus of executable transactions. Instead of just saying "I offer .01 ethereum to any mining node which verifies this transaction: transfer 2 ethereum from my wallet A to target wallet B" you can write entire programs which automatically pay miners to run them, and of course which get hacked.

Are you able to just buy into and out of Ethereum? If it's guaranteed liquid and able to be converted to actual cash with in a business day or something I would consider tossing some throw away money at it. Like if there was ever a cryptocurrency ETF or something I could justify buying into it for a short term investment.

A few of my friends are getting heavy in Etherium now. One of them spent last weekend on Skype to some guy in Germany trying to buy in more; I didn't really want to ask. My concern is that they're all penniless student types rather than cutting edge investors, so I'm pretty sure they don't know what they're doing. Maybe the joke will be on me when they're all rolling around in their champagne hot tubs.

Your dream is alive: http://www.coindesk.com/sec-orders-review-winklevoss-bitcoin-etf-rejection/ According to work dude, there are both BTC and Ethereum exchanges without any withdrawal limits. If he's not selling though, I bet he's never tested that theory. Edit: They also both crashed hard today, 10% for BTC and 13% for ethereum.

I'm guessing 'no withdrawl limits' vanishes fast if you try to cash out $250k at once. That's how it always seems to work.

I have friends who have pulled USD out of ETH to the tune mid-five-figures every day for a week, without a hiccup. You could probably get a quarter mil out over a month without much hassle. (Other than FINTRAC and such.)

I think the venn diagram representing "investors" and "tax evading bitcoin shitheads" is very close to a circle, especially if you're talking about boutique etfs like this.
