Thailand Approves Five Year Bitcoin And Crypto Tax Break

Thailand will exempt capital gains tax on crypto profits made through licensed platforms from 2025 to 2029, with a goal to attract global investment and support the country’s digital economy.

Ask Elwar what it's like dealing with thialand.

Haven't heard from Elwar for a while.

It appears that he logged into the forum in February of this year.. but has not been active for 6 months or more.. and even no post showing since late 2022.
BPIP profile. He had a lot of drama (and even lost money) around those seasteading ideas, including questions of how raising money and then questions regarding the kinds of business relationships he was involved in.
Questionable sustainability when so much drama. Maybe he was able to hang onto some of his bitcoin and then to knuckle down and perhaps register a new forum identity, yet in some sense, he seemed to get some pleasure in some of the drama.

The LAST thing I would accuse Elwar of is being a Drama Queen, there are shitloads of accounts I would put in that category but not his.

He's a man that stands behind and fights for his principals.

Perhaps I had largely been thinking about some of the seafaring ideas to be a bit fantasy and unrealistic... .. so then sometimes we also end up getting to know a good number of personal details that maybe would be better NOT to be known.

Looking at the WO I thought it was a graveyard
BTC still +-105k
Strange times Roll Eyes

A bunch of entitled crybabies, that's what we are!

Or maybe we should blame the ramen diet, which is know to induce depressive states.

I was tentatively planning to take my "friend" to a Japanese restaurant, and so we drove a little bit out of the way, and we even had some preliminary preparations, so then when we arrived at the restaurant, we were personally told by folks who were there (doing some kind of private activities that was not quite convincing that they were not open).. The guy explained that that they were not open, but that they were open on other days.. .and so today was actually one of their actually regularly scheduled days off.

We were sort of trying to figure out the situation, including which day that we might come back.. perhaps in the coming week.

We also were discussing whether we should go to another restaurant or just return to the house. Based on our already spending of a lot of time out and about, and that we would likely have to travel out of our way if we were to go to another restaurant. My choice was to return to the house, and my friend said that I was going to have to cook for myself (like a kinds of going on strike).

I said o.k. whatever in a kind of irritated tone. I figured that I had various options... so it wasn't like I was going to starve.

Maybe about an hour after returning home, I saw various activities in the kitchen and I even saw that at least one packet of Ramyen was involved in the process. I had gotten involved in other (non-eating) things, so I was not really paying attention... so by the time I was ready to eat, I saw that there were Ramyen then various meats that had been added.. but not enough for my satisfaction.. and so I searched through the Fridge to find some other meats to add, and so in the end, it was not bad, even though yeah, it ended up being some variation of Ramyen.

buddy three peat
thread 🧵 is dead.

I was thinking a lot people on this thread have a decent amount of coin.
this 7 month hang out at 100-110 has to be boring as fuck to them.

If I were 40 with say 40 coins 🪙 This time would bore me as wen 200k would be what I would want to sell just a coin.

From my perspective, no reason to get greedy.

Even 20 BTC at 40 would be pretty damned close to being able to retire... especially since currently 20 BTC could produce a passive income of $97.5k per year, and sure guys may well want some kind of additional cushion in there.. but it seems to be plenty to work with by having a mere 20 BTC for a guy who is merely 40 years old.

Even withdrawing from the BTC stash at a rate of $70k per year would allow the nearly $30k per year that is not withdrawn to roll over and compound upon itself.

To me, it seems that even with 20 BTC at 40 years old, there would be plenty of ability to grow if the guy were to choose to only start to withdraw $70k per year or even less.. perhaps.. , and the guy might even be able to increase his income 10% per year from whatever sub $100k per year starting point that he were to choose to deploy.. .which surely does not seem to be a bad place to be, especially for a perpetual and mostly passive (aside from any accounting burdens that might exist).
