You can bitch or you can learn to play this game too. But you can't do a fuckin thing to change it.

Plus qu'il n'en faut et c'est plus qu'indecent chez cette part de la population si égoïste qui ne cherche qu'à s'enrichir de plus en plus même sur cendres de leurs pairs

So do they not pay taxes on the stock when they receive it? if not, why not? If someone pays me in gold or bitcoin or oil, I pay taxes on it when I receive it, not when I sell it, so did they just lobby to make it an exception or something?

They are founders who put money in, shares were created, they were given X% of shares. They may also gain shares by agreement from those held in reserve over time. As owners shares are not income, just ownership in a company YOU INVESTED IN.

The only way you pay tax on stock like that is to cash some out. Then it is subject to capital gains. Say tomorrow you buy 2 btc for 50K each worth 100K total. Price goes to 100K each by the end of the year. You now have 200K USD in bitcoin, how much tax do you owe?

The answer is zero unless you sell it, convert it or pay for something with it. It is no different. The graph really has been over simplified, but it's a meme soooooo

Ah, I was thinking of the stock as a 'thing' received, not as ownership. That totally makes sense. Thanks Jack!

Hate the game, don't hate the player! 😉
