Once you get to a certain point of accumulation, you have no real staking benefit. The DeFi apps are what, 0.5 or 1.0 bitcoin at 5-6% then it drops significantly? I’d prefer to store the rest of my stuff in cold storage when I don’t get an additional big benefit from Celsius or BlockFi.

after that though?


All depends on if and when staking is released I would think . Also if there’s any big news that comes out the conference or during Sergeys fireside with the mystery guest

it's pretty big news they're working with bitcoin stacks imo. I'm surprised people aren't making a big deal about it

I’m not to the point where I need a USD loan. That is on the horizon but I’m not there yet, I don’t need it. Not looking to increase liquidation risk while I’m still working a job I like and get paid too much to do it. So yea, if I was looking to get a usd loan, sure cold storage would not be needed. Because I’m not looking to do that, I’ll max the BTC I have on DeFi apps taking advantage of the higher payout up to the first cap. Then the rest is in cold storage

Why isn't stacks a bigger deal than it is? Seems to me like this would be the next best thing after bitcoin.

True. Probably good to hang tight and just set a limit for like .001 link/btc in case things get crazy.

So I'd possibly need to get my crypto back on an exchange prior to this law taking effect to avoid being taxed on merely moving it from one place to another? Ain't that some bullshite. I'm not taxed when I deposit money to my bank account.

How on earth can they expect to track DEX swaps and mining pools?


Lol this, IMO is a nothing bill.

I link my hardware wallet to the DEXs I used and keep all my LP farm rewards on the DEX. No way they can track that IMO.

This has been my main concern actually, if they can't accurately trace and tax your gains from purchase via the exchange, they could just say, well 100% of this position is gains then. I've heard this mentioned a few times on podcasts and it always stuck out to me as the worst case that's still believable.

I don't. The state and crypto are fundamentally incompatible. The state will make every effort possible to stifle crypto development and usage.

they cant

but i can see them trying to implement some type of KYC wallets that they "force" us to use. theyll try to make it so you can only used "approved" wallets to store your bitcoin that they can track
