The portable, global nature of Bitcoin is very interesting. If you make capital gains in your own country, it is very difficult to realise those gains in traditional assets outside of your country of origin. You can’t see a house outside of the country and it is difficult to sell shares or commodities outside of your broker.

Yet Bitcoin, and increasingly tokenised assets give you the ability to become a digital nomad and live fluidly anywhere at anytime.

Bitcoin may be part of the solution to removing borders and bringing together humanity like never before.

Yeah all the houses being sold round here reminded me of that and of course houses aren't as easy to sell as a 24/7 market. People always complain about Bitcoin volatility yet everyone is suddenly selling houses to avoid CGT so I have noticed a lot of 'Sold' houses are falling through. I would guess also due to the chain nature of the market and the choice of new housing stock some are pulling out to get a better a deal putting pressure on sellers by pushing things close to the governments stupid tax deadline.

I hope you manage to get yours sold though MIke!

Luckily I’m not selling any houses, I’m not selling anything. Just moving countries.

Everybody has different agendas, we define relationships by the amount our agendas align or overlap.

Yes, that's what we are doing.

I like that you see Bitcoin can bring humanity together under a new banner. Bitcoin can make the nation state model at least less significant. Usually it's the end of a big war or catastrophe that unites humanity. Bitcoin is a welcome peaceful change to that pattern 😉

YouTube allows me to see the world relatively unfiltered. Meaning the enemy we’re told to hate become our friends.

Bitcoin is the financial freedom to transact with the person that is supposed to be my enemy.

I’m here for it! Patience will be rewarded.

Yes Bitcoin is beautiful!💖

This is an interesting scenario however it only raises a further reason for governments to attack/control bitcoin for the simple reason if everyone can avoid the local tax laws, who's paying for the shared public services?

I think it's just a matter of time before we see a special bitcoin tax being applied across multiple duristrictions. This feels like a practical solution to the problem but I might be wrong of course.

Bitcoin is a public ledger so would be relatively easy for computers to police.

Yes but if uk is anything to go by the onus will be placed on the individual to know and comply with the law. That way fear of non compliance is much greater.
