To be fair, some of them probably held on to the Bitcoin all the way through the rise and fall. Why settle for being a millionaire at 20k each when you can be a billionaire once BTC hits 200k each. And despite still being able to make a substantial profit, they haven’t sold yet because it can only go up, up, up. I cannot imagine what it must be like to be that brain damaged.

Maybe they should release some actual statements instead of leaking some excerpts to an outlet like Bloomberg well-known for journalists running with fantasy stories about things they've been told about.

There'd be no point in maintaining a gimmick even when in conversations where nothing is funny about it. trolling is for entertaining yourself, not others. the funny part is when every poster in the thread can't stop themselves from posting whole paragraphs about how dumb "you" are even when they know it's a gimmick

We have a fictional capital gains tax where the tax service just assumes you will make 2% gains on any capital over €30k (and 4% on any capital over €70k) you have and you owe 30% taxes over it no matter if you actually realised those gains or not. Bitcoin counts as capital. For your 2018 taxes you need to report the value your bitcoins had on January 1st 2018, you owe taxes over that ammount.

Bitcoin counts as capital. For your 2018 taxes you need to report the value your bitcoins had on January 1st 2018, you owe taxes over that ammount. Not nearly as hosed as anybody trading anything in the US in late December. A butter with €70000 in butts on January 1st will only have to pay (70000 - 30000) * 0.02 * 0.30 = €240 in taxes (and if they had €100000 in butts, they'd only have to pay €600). A US butter would have to pay capital gains taxes of the actual gains, which could be huge if bought early 2017 or before and traded (not necessarily sold) in December. If the €100000 butter bought in at €20000 and traded their butts for any of the other variety of butts, they could owe taxes of an income of €80000, which according to a quick Google could be 0% - 20$ or €0 - €16000.

Aren't the gox coins traceable somehow? I know they kept them in wallets and did all the trading on the internal database they had until people withdrew them (so they never actually moved most of the time), but if whomever stole or exit strategy'd them ever attempted to use them, wouldn't they have to enter the ledger as part of re-entering and being validated for movement?
