Hi,
Does anyone have an understanding of how taxes work with cryptocurrency?

I read about capital gains tax, but what if the BTC i have was donated to me at first?

What's coming? Loss? lol

The price has downed 0.000017 to 0.000012 ! ? And what do you want to hear? Still no news.. Tell me when will we see official announcement?

I kinda agree with what Nateboy is saying. 30 Million for masternode (approx $17k at current coin value). Imagine if the price goes to $0.001 or $0.1.

Soon we will have also crytocurrencies created by states, fully centralized I guess, I wonder if they will be listed on coinmarketcap.

How stupid for those are following mcafee's tweet just give an advice to buy and buy more various altcoin without any explanation about that, basically that's just like telling another to buy shitcoin and then pump it for the hackers. Glad to see the McAfee account has back again.

For those are following it just try to do your own research about that rather than follow the hacker.
But a lot of people are spreading it in here.

I think the most stable altcoin, as in no enormous drops and sudden pumps will be Litecoin.
It has leveled out and found a stable bottom so now it's just going to be one slow climb to greatness. Thats my prediction at least.
If we want to be really penile than it's the coins that are not worth anything at all. Obviously shit will stay shit.

Got Verge way before McAffe suggested it.I actually believe in Verge and think its a good coin. However it exploded way too big and fast for there now to be huge further gains. Its good for long term with coming updates, and I still hold some. But I am now looking for other "young" Anoncoins as when I bought verge for $0.006, ones that still have huge potential.

Monero, ZCoin, Spectre are all way too expensive ... How could they x100 now? Change the world and give people more privacy? I think we need to look at coins that are only just starting, around $10m....

While I truly believe Verge, Monero, ZCoin are all good coins, I think its a bit ridiculous that they could go x50 now like smaller coins can.

I did find Linda which seems interesting and I bought a couple already. Its only at $2m
market cap.

Verge is $2bn, Monero is $6bn, Zcoin is $300m, even Spectre is $42m already (21 times of Linda).

Any other cheap anon coins? I did find ZOIN which seems really interesting too as the team seems
to be idealistic and driven and not just in it for a quick buck, and is now at $10m market cap only.
Am I missing some coins? There must be more anon coins that are still cheap and have hard working, idealistic,
fun devs who want to CHANGE THE WORLD for the better?

Please help me out, thanks and good luck to your holdings too! 

I'm currently building my portfolio for 2018 and will start buying tomorrow. Currently I've parked my money in Doge Coin, which after my researches seems to be not so clever.

Total invest will be ~5k USD.

What do you think about my choices?

This is more or less based on information from this forum. But I'm happy to hear your opinion.

It's not to difficult to setup, any problem you run into just ask google, there are walkthroughs for just about any problem you may run into  

Verge is done - it shot it's wad.
The two new hot coins are Ember (EMB) and ColossusXT (COLX).
 

LINDA finaly on a NEW exchange:

its harder for attackers with more full nodes it also helps with new block and transaction broadcasting so its a support for network

This is what I think.

-Many people complaining that you should not invest in Verge, I disagree because there are other coins out there that have not been developed in years and are still rising in price. (examples Tittiecoin,Infinitecoin, no active dev and no new plans as far as I know)

-People pooring money into ICO's of which they don't even know if it will ever hit an exchange. That is pure gambling most of the time, why not invest in a coin that has already been trading on many exchanges for years.

-Lots of publicity for Verge that is one of the anon coins that will become more popular like DeepOnion and COLX (check the rise of them both)

-Bad + good publicity = MORE publicity / bigger exposure than other coins

-John McAfee tweeting about it, large amount of followers. He also now says that he expected Verge to go to $0,15 in stead of $15,-. Well that's good we are already there so we can continue upwards.

-Verge was already rising before all these fake accounts tweeting about Verge and pumping the price.

-Verge is one of the least expensive coins in the top 30 that also attracts new people that are looking for a cheap coin that might still have a big upside to go

-Verge is up 2261.46% in these last 30 days, started climbing way before all the FUD about it so a drop of 30%-40% is nothing right

-A cheaper coin like this is what some people want in their portfolio so why not buy this cheap coin, the most popular of all. Other cheap coins are also all on the rise like Embercoin,Paccoin,COLX,Reddcoin,USDE  etc. etc.

I lost $ 500 which is very difficult to get in Venezuela, because of the idiot Mcoffee, I trusted that he was a trustworthy guy and he proved to be a speculator of junk coins ... if someone wants to collaborate with a poor guy I leave my portfolio bitcoin 1CeGPPF8WAXewJzF6kXd4FAhy736Ftk5pV
