The whole tradwife/girlboss dichotomy is based upon the fallacy that

1) women have only 20 productive years, after which they basically drop dead

2) women have to decide, in advance, to spend all of their productive years doing only one thing

So normally you’d want to invest money before taxes and pay tax when you sell the investment (think Roth 401k). Why? Because there are things like dividends or interest that make value grow exponentially over time.

So, if you had the chance to invest $4 pretax and get a return of 5 doublings (x32) and then pay 50% tax, you’d have $512.

But if you paid 50% tax first, you’d have $16.

Case closed, right?

Well for bitcoin the math isn’t similar. While value of each bitcoin might grow exponentially, it doesn’t matter whether you give up half your coins at the beginning or end.

Example: you have pretax dollars and buy 1 bitcoin. Price goes up x32 and then you retire and pay 50% tax. You have 0.5 bitcoin, or 16x initial investment. But if you paid tax first, you’d only have enough for 0.5 bitcoin and you’d still end up at 16x initial dollar investment.

I think this is somehow far more important than people realize.

you are shutting down your bitcoin company out of an abundance of caution/fear/worry

i just fired up my new Futurebit Apollo II home bitcoin miner out of an abundance of sovereignty/hope/responsibility

If anyone should be mad at Roger Ver it's me. I have more reason to dislike him than most. I was friends with the guy from 2011 until the bcash split. He oranged pilled me, paid 14btc for baklava, helped so many liberty-minded individuals in NH, and hired me as the first employee at Blockchain(dot)info.

I didn't read about his downfall in Bitcoin in some book or tweet. I had a front row seat.

I don't have the luxury of hating a guy I never met and don't know anything about, unlike most who dislike him.

Have compassion for your enemies. You can disagree with them while simultaneously feeling sorrow for their situation.

I encourage you to give this a try. For your own sake, if nothing else.

taxation is not theft any more than manslaughter is murder.

you bitfags need to STFU.

The deaths of the innocent is always the fault of the people doing the killing. This is always true of all sides of any war, & it's why there is no such thing as a "just war."

will the 10% limit be increased?
