I want to start learning coding but am not sure what would be a good language to learn?

With a passion for cryptos and blockchain is there a language that is best to master that could help me understand the programming better and logistical process?

Thanks!

Yeah well lucky there aint many taxes to pay after days like today!

interesting, what country are you from? It certainly is a pain! It should be tax free like Forex as its essentially a currency!

Thanks Dudeperfect, very interesting to hear

very interesting! Thanks for your opinion - it seems governments are being forced to address with each day bitcoins price is rising. I do believe that the second you cash out and it no longer becomes anonymous money you are eligible to being fined if you dont declare.

Very interesting thanks jvdp, i also heard that neos success was hinging on Chinas regulations? give they were to be lifted it would likely surge up, is this something youve heard or is it just..'chinese whispers'?

Well i hold other alt coins but Neo with 65million coins and only at $35 it seems extremly underpriced yet stagnent. I just wanted to see if there are other investors and thoughts to whether theres something there long term and why?

Is Neo worth buying? Whats its pros and cons? Are you invested in it? why?

Interesting, Bitcoin seems like an asset so id imagine only once you cash it out and its no longer 'anonymous' money it is traceable and must be declared.

Awesome read, thanks AGD!

What are peoples thoughts on Bitcoin and external technology like quantum computing affecting the future of things?

''It is known that a sufficiently large quantum computer35 could be very efficient for
handling problems that rely on trial and error to find a solution. The process of finding
a nonce in order to generate a Bitcoin block is a good example of such a problem. As
of today, one must check an average of 268 nonces to find a suitable hash that allows
a new block to be generated. It is known (see e.g. [15]) that a quantum computer
would need Θ(√N) operations to solve a problem that is analogous to the Bitcoin
puzzle stated above. This same problem would need Θ(N) operations on a classical
computer.

Therefore, a quantum computer would be around √268 = 234 ≈ 17 billion times more efficient at mining the Bitcoin blockchain than a classical computer.

Also, it is worth noting that if a blockchain does not increase its difficulty in response to
increased hashing power, there would be an increased rate of orphaned blocks.
For the same reason, a “large weight” attack would also be much more efficient
on a quantum computer. However, capping the weight from above, as suggested
in Section 4, would effectively prevent a quantum computer attack as well.

You would think it would be really difficult to tax but i suppose the risk comes in when you convert money back to fiat and it goes into your traceable account?

Thats fine, i think alot will disagree with me but its important to share views in these threads as the unexpencted does happen. No one thought Trump would be president last year and look where we are today! 10k by new year, i reckon so! a dip some point next year, i reckon so!!  if your buying into bitcoin now you should be careful, putting 9-10k into a bitcoin could short term bite you unless you wait for a dip entry or are happy to hold out longterm.

With such huge investment into ICOs however a small percentage will produce products of great value, i dont believe there all cancers!

I dont believe Bitcoin will be affected by ICOs if they crash.

BUT that said Bitcoin is the one thats skyrocketing not ICOs (whilst huge investments gone into ICOs there fairly dormant at the moment being overshadowed by Bitcoin) and people away from this forum who have no understanding of Bitcoin are the ones Chinese whispering about how there so much quick money you can make and they should jump on the hype train. Your average joe isn't buying into ICOs in the same way with Bitcoin. Media is focusing on primarily on Bitcoin and the unbelievable growth and money making opportunity. Your average joe isnt thinking oh TenX, Neo, Lisk blah blah there thinking Bitcoin.

Early investors of bitcoin fuck yeah go you guys your going to be fine just hold on long term as it will continue to grow to new heights in the next 10 years, you got yourselves a great entry into the market early on!

Newbies looking to invest now id be very cautions of getting wiped out short term and waiting a long time to recoup your potential losses. Nothing lasts for ever, history repeats itself, dont be blinded by money signs and whilst there is great value to Bitcoin there is also alot of volatile hype right now. I know alot will disagree that Bitcoin is in a bubble and will have a dramitic drop at somepoint but perhaps we can agree long term bitcoin will be of a higher value that it is today. Entry is everything in market trading and jumping in now seems quite risky.

I think its alot easier to get bitcoin than it is to learn and buy into ICOs. I think Bitcoin is the bubble but yes there are trashy icos out there still.
I think you should be very careful if investing at this time and use this great forum to collect as many opinions to form your own. If bitcoin crashes all those ICO/BTC prices are going to surge up. Theres not much of a crash for ICOs to currently really have, more Ethereum with the majority of ICOs being built on its platform but again its relatively cheap and lightweight still in comparison - everything being kept relatively low by bitcoin and its hype.

Please when talking about your country and the tax laws mention where your from, it will help anyone answer questions for anyone who is also from the same place

Does this not make it dangerous for us though that if things crash we all crash with it? What about converting Bitcoin to gold? does tax come in then?

Well said! I agree with you, its a natural process but a good one none the less to get to the Amazons/Ebays of the future

booo to Bitcoin tax regulations!

If you were using a TenX or Centra card i would understand that you are paying tax for a physical product at the time of purchase. But its interesting to what degree law is going to intervene and try to regulate with personal bitcoin income, especially if shops started accepting it directly? Its almost better to keep in the currency digital than convert back to fiat?

Rubbish! Yes there are scammers but statistically 80% of startups fail but that does not mean they are all scammers. ICOs are high risk investment options, the majority want to succeed and build value and a great brand but not everyone is so lucky with increasing competition.
