ou do realize that you can't use all of the money in your bank account right? A lot of it does not exist, hence transaction limits. If you put all of your money in cash you are essentially throwing a lot of it away. This is why Gates, Slim, Ortega, etc all invest. And also, why would getting the money from your insurance company take longer than actually paying it?

So you claim taxes are a "theft', but I bet all the money in the world that you use the utilities provided for by taxes. How is that fair, and why should I feel sympathy for someone that avoids taxes? True, OP did choose the more "competitive" business option, but that does not make it any less immoral. And obviously, his business did not end up on top as he lost all of the money.

I am not feeding the troll.

I'm the troll? Sorry, but go around in public claiming that "the regime" makes you pay "thefts". The average person is going to think that you're crazy. Also explain why the richest people in the world all invest instead of having tons of liquid cash.

You should also answer my question: Do you use utilities paid for by taxes and if so why is it fair that someone else (like me) should pay for you?

Bitcoin does attract a lot of nutjobs, so you might not fit in here. But your pathetic attempt at justifying theft was not appreciated. We do use electricity provided by our government, but we did not ask for them to setup an electric company that costs $0.40/kWh and we could create our own electric company that is much better, but the government does not allow this.

Sucks for OP, but why would you put 700,000+ into one account? Amounts that high should be in assets. Like many people have said, as soon as you put that money in there it is gone forever. You should never exceed the amount that is going to be insured.

Tax evasion has its flaws.

Like you would have handled it any better...

While I don't have 700,000 dollars to lose, I haven't lost money due to a bank closing down yet.

And what do you expect me to say? Should I feel sympathy for someone far richer than me who lost money because they tried to evade taxes that I pay willingly with no problems?

You are just saying "Well you should have taken all the money out of your bank and bought BTC, idiot" yet you did not forsee this thread coming months in advance did you? You basically just said "BTC just dropped from $100 to $80, you should have sold, idiot". I can't imagine what zeroday had to go through after his money was gone, I've never in my life had almost everything I own taken away from me, nobody else taken in seriously, and then everyone else thinks nothing is wrong and calls you the idiot.

The people making excuses here really prove a social pattern I have observed. How extremely clear-cut does a situation have to be for people to stop taking sides. In the Zimmerman case people still took sides, even though there were little arguments for the "bad" side. Then you can come up with something almost universally agreed upon such as this video, people still blame the guy because he "shouldn't have asked for that pack of cigarettes". Then in this thread the Cyrus officials reach into zeroday's pockets, grab his money, and run away with it. Now that is a very clear-cut situation and you can figure out who is the robber and who is being robber, yet there are still people taking different sides here?
