How is it you need to turn off your masternode for tax purposes when DASH is roughly $90 but seemingly still ran it when DASH was $40 a year ago?
Because tax authorities don't accept unrealised gains as remittence unfortunately, so hodling is not an option for masternodes. By running one you are guaranteed a liability of around $2000 a year in my area (which is not one of the higher income tax zones) whether you cash out or not because the revenue is unearned, so it's 99% taxable. It is not compensation for the costs of supporting the Dash network (whereas mining revenue is and so is not similarly exposed to statutory selling pressure). The risk of capital loss comes on TOP of all this.
And that explains why you could run a masternode when DASH was $40 but can't when it's $90? I mean maybe you could sell the DASH your masternodes make to pay off your tax liability? And from where I come from an increase from $40 to $90 results in a capital gain.
Every alt, except perhaps ETH, has suffered a huge decrease in value vs BTC.
How long are you going to keep this mantra going ? Till 1 BTC per masternode and beyond ? Dash is in a ranking all of its own with respect to the mined list and is plummeting down through it at a slow jogging pace. Your theory is that by reducing mining we're somehow ditching "ballast" that we didn't need it and would be more economically buoyant without it.
Well be advised it's working the other way around.
More lies? I stated a fact as you quoted. You come back with again accusing me of a position I never took even though you've been corrected multiple times now. Why do you choose to be so deceptive? If your case is so good you shouldn't need to resort to these tactics.
About 6 months ago when you started this rant of yours here, DASH was a lot closer in marketcap to 2 of the mined competitors you used to list, ETC and ZEC. So now that they don't fit your theory anymore you conveniently ignore them?
And why do you add non-mined alts (ADA, FIL) to your list of mined alts? Do you think it makes your case stronger?
