#askNostr did CheapAir stop accepting Bitcoin? Where can I buy a flight with Bitcoin?

CheapAir now redirects to CheapOAir and their FAQ lists no Bitcoin in their payment options. Or can I somehow book through cheapAir without getting redirected?

Important post if you are in the UK 🇬🇧

Plz share with or tag other Brits.

A Tax-Efficient Way to Spend Your #Bitcoin While Supporting the Network and Keeping Your Holdings Intact!

One way to spend Bitcoin, help decentralize the network, and move BTC off exchanges without triggering a taxable event is through a strategic spending and repurchase approach.

Here’s how it works ⬇️

Step 1: Spend #Bitcoin at a vendor who accepts it as payment.

This ensures you're using Bitcoin in the way it was designed—as a decentralized currency. You're also supporting businesses that accept Bitcoin directly. 💳⚡️

Step 2: Within 30 days of making the purchase, buy back the same amount of Bitcoin.

This is key to ensuring that you retain your original holdings without being exposed to market volatility. 🔄

The magic behind this strategy is the 30-day rule.

In the UK, this rule prevents you from claiming a tax loss on an asset if you buy it back within 30 days, but it also means you inherit the original cost basis if no profit is made.

By rebuying the Bitcoin within the 30-day window, you effectively reset your position at the original purchase price, meaning no capital gains or losses are realized.

This way, no taxable event occurs, and your Bitcoin stays in your hands! 💼🛡️

Not only does this method keep your tax position intact, but it also moves Bitcoin off exchanges, which enhances decentralization and strengthens the Bitcoin network.

You continue to hold Bitcoin with your initial cost basis, tax-free. 🏛️🔐

In summary:

Spend BTC at a vendor

Buy back the same amount within 30 days

Maintain your original cost basis, avoiding tax implications

Support the Bitcoin ecosystem by transacting on-chain 🌍⚡️

Stolen from The Secret Investor - Tax accountant on twitter.

The studio is ready, Danny's flights are booked, and next week we’ll begin recording episodes for our new podcast.

I wanted to share the reasons behind this shift as many have been asking. Three primary factors influenced this decision:

1. I hate making remote shows—I never want to do them again. These interviews need the intimacy of being in person.

2. Traveling constantly has been detrimental to my health and my family.

3. My commitments here with the football club and local community are growing.

So, the solution was clear: build a studio in the UK and produce the show locally.

We’ve secured a fantastic space in Soho, London, and we’re ready to go but given the limited number of Bitcoin guests available in the UK or those willing to fly in, it’s time to retire What Bitcoin Did.

Our new podcast will be similar in feel but will cover a broader range of topics. While some episodes will focus on Bitcoin (though less frequently), most will explore other interesting topics or people.

Having made nearly 900 episodes covering a wide range of #bitcoin topics and guests, we’re now aiming higher. By diversifying our content and guests, we hope to introduce more people to the concept of sound money through podcast osmosis. If we get this right, it will be a bigger show, if we get it wrong, well we tried.

For a long time I have felt there is a need to get out of the #bitcoin corner of the party. Real Bedford FC was a way of integrating sound money into a traditional business model. CheatCode purposely did not include Bitcoin in the title, so changing the show feels like a natural next step.

Sometimes when stuck in the #bitcoin landscape you can lose site of how other people in the world think, lose empathy for the complexities of the world. I have felt this. I'd come home from spending two weeks with Bitcoiners and be with friends and family locally and notice a distinct difference in how we see the world. As everything feels like it is going to shit, I feel like there is a bigger job to do now.

The Bitcoin podcast landscape is well served, from Marty and Odell to Natalie and Preston, from The Blue Collar guys to Stefan Livera and anyone I haven't mentioned. There’s no shortage of high-quality Bitcoin podcasts.

However, there seems to be some fatigue in the space, with similar guests and topics being revisited. With our new show we want to bring fresh perspectives and ideas, aligning with sound money where relevant—think of the shows we’ve had with the likes of Eric Weinstein and Michael Malice.

On a personal note, I’m need the challenge, test myself wider, get fit and find a good woman. I can't do this travelling all the time.

When I started the podcast my life was a shit show - divorced, coming off drugs, heading towards bankruptcy. I've had an incredible 7 years, travelled the world, made amazing friends and got to live my dream by buying my local football club.

To everyone who has helped us get this far - the guests, the listeners, the sponsors, we could not have done this without you. I am forever in your debt.

I hope you’ll check out the new show and enjoy it, though it may not be for some of you. Regardless, Danny and I will work hard to deliver the best show possible, like we always have.

Roll on The McCormack Show!

Hi fellow Nostr friend, if you are new on here like me, I want to follow you!
