Thank you for posting the financial statements. It's interesting.
One question-
Why don't we count all the income+expense in BTC? Wouldn't it be fair if we had done so? All those fund were received in BTC certainly. I think it would be more interesting to get BTC value since we are calculating the financial statement of Bitcoin forum.

It's probably only in USD there because that's all the tax man cares about and for tax purposes the money would be logged at its dollar value at the time received. I'm sure theymos has the btc values as well though.

Code:

2017
Income: $996,494 + $6257 donations
Expenses - Forum software project: $246,138
Expenses - Mods and others: $261,433
Expenses - Hosting etc: $49,726

2018
Income: $473,247 + $479 donations
Expenses - Forum software project: $272,250
Expenses - Mods and others: $204,547
Expenses - Hosting etc: $43,907

Tax is not included for 2017. Because bitcointalk.org is tax-wise a disregarded entity, it's difficult for me to calculate the tax costs attributable to forum activities. I'll do it some other day.

Oof. Who got fired?

Is this in regard to the new forum or the drop in payments to staff? I think lauda has been the only staff member to be 'let go', but there are several mods who had left or have been removed due to inactivity over the past few years (including a couple of Globals/Admins - BadBear, Salty, Grue to name a few.
