Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Sold my house this week. My mortgage was the last thing requiring me to have a bank account. Last mont my landlord started taking bitcoins for rent. He is happy.
Now to get all of that equity into bitcoins quickly.

In a period of time, I have been buying bitcoins only in cash and amassed over 800 btc, I keep them in several wallets. Now, I'm in a need of buying some stuff unfortunately you still cant buy with btc nowadays - car, wedding ceremony, paying for some travel trips, general spending in life etc. So I need to cash out at least 250 btc, but the problem is the taxes. Im willing to pay them, no issues, but I think they'll cause me some troubles as people may think this money comes from illegal operations, which is not true but I have no way to prove it.

Explained it to us how a house that has already been sold (Elwar's house)... is going to be sold again by Elwar? There is a considerable level of logical incoherence in the content of your post.
Oh? It appears that the purpose of your post was to bring up some anecdotal evidence that is somehow related to bitcoin and the holding of a large amount of bitcoin (O.k. I am stretching to help you out here in order to identify some kind of a stretch of a connection in your post
) in order to attempt to make some kind of parody concerning the behaviors of bitcoin users based on your described example of some kind of crazy person, no?Back to Elwar's situation for a moment. Isn't Elwar facing a different issue, and that is figuring out means in which to convert a large portion of his soon to be in-hand cash proceeds to bitcoin? Not necessarily a bad problem to have, but not answered by your response.
I personally don't buy into an all or nothing approach to investing into BTC, but I understand the dilemma and temptation in holding so much cash all at once and then wanting to get that likely depreciating cash into an appreciation status, which bitcoin is in a very decent position and good upward odds at the moment (even though there is no guarantee from this current price point).
Let's say Elwar's proceeds from his house are anywhere between $10K and $100k? how much to invest into BTC?
Surely, he has got to account for his own particular circumstances in terms of how much BTC he already holds and his cash flow and his other investments and time line.
Maybe invest 80% of the proceeds within a short period of time in increments of $5k to $10k? In recent months, I have found it to be quite useful to maintain a BTC portfolio that maintains both BTC and fiat, and I find a lot of stress relief and flexibility in that kind of approach, especially given the volatile nature of BTC, even though maintaining proportions in both BTC and fiat seems to cause some additional needs to pay attention to BTC prices in order to take advantage of price fluctuation opportunities.. which are likely going to continue to take place for years to come in bitcoinlandia.
