I second using postimages.org

You can either upload a picture or gif from your computer or upload a picture or gif from a URL.

Once you go to the link above, you can click the "Choose images" button to upload a picture or gif from a file on your hard drive, or scroll down to the bottom of the page until you see the "Upload via URL" link and click it.

Once a picture is uploaded to postimage.org, just scroll down and copy the direct link and that link works in TigerDroppings by clicking the "img" button when you are typing a reply or new post.

re: Crypto Trading Bots

Posted by 98eagle on 1/6/26 at 12:13 pm to
Can any of these trading bots, make Bitcoin derivative trades, specifically buying and selling BITX in retirement accounts (Roth IRAs, Traditional IRAs, and HSAs) based on the actual current price of Bitcoin, or is the Bot only capable of making decisions when to make trades within an account based only on the situation with regard to available equities within the account? Actual Bitcoin is external to the retirement accounts, so just curious if the bots can track it to make decisions when to trade within an IRA. I'd like to configure a Bot to replicate my trading strategy and parameters.

EDIT: I'm starting to watch videos on TradersPost to see it's capabilities. My intuition is that I will only be able to create a Bot that tracks BITX (and not Bitcoin), so I can only use data during Market hours, plus I may only be able to specify exact prices instead of having the bot calculate the buy and sell prices dynamically for me based on my rules. I need a bot that I can specify rules to dynamically create the buy and sell prices of BITX and open and close incremental multiple trades independently of each other.

Should I count taxes on Roth conversion as withdrawals?
For income tax planning you definitely should. That's what I did over about a 10 year period. I wanted to be somewhat aggressive on Roth conversations until we got to about 80% Roth and 20% Traditional + HSA. However, I also wanted to stay under the next tax bracket. So in December each year I projected my income taxes and did max Roth conversions to stay within the tax bracket each year that would still allow us to get to 80% Roth. The only reason I wanted any Traditional IRA amounts left was to make sure I can make Traditional IRA withdrawals in retirement each year up to the Standard Deduction. It wouldn't be smart to not have any taxable retirement account balances in retirement and not be able to take advantage of the Standard Deduction every year.

Walmart began accepting BTC and crypto in-store payments via it's OnePay app yesterday per CNBC.

Here's an except from an article on CoinMarketCap.....

"CNBC reported on January 4 that Walmart starts accepting BTC and crypto in-store payments via its banking app OnePay. This marks a strong signal that retail adoption is progressing.

Walmart rolls out support for crypto payments via its OnePay app, which combines mobile banking, debit rewards, and a digital wallet in a single app.

With OnePay, users can buy, sell, hold, and convert BTC and crypto, and use the proceeds at checkout by converting them into fiat at the point of payment.

This integration allows customers to manage crypto within the OnePay wallet and use fiat funds when shopping online and in-store. In other words, the move ties crypto balances to real-world retail usage."

Also I was curious if Walmart's OnePay app creates and provides tax documents for crypto transactions on it's platform at the end of the year.

Per a summarized AI search response......

"Yes, the Walmart-backed OnePay app does issue year-end tax documents for eligible cryptocurrency trading activity. These documents are available within the app for you to use when filing your taxes.

About Tax Documents in the OnePay App

Document Availability: OnePay provides year-end tax forms, such as Form 1099-MISC or the new Form 1099-DA (for transactions starting on or after Jan. 1, 2025), to report your crypto sales and related activity."
If the amount of total NIL money were to keep increasing, at some point the amount per player means less, and instead its the amount of cars, houses, vacations and virgins offered.
The longer they are in the portal, I assume their price goes down. Hope most of them get a good haircut.

In addition to the 10/22s, check out some of the Ruger 22 Charger custom builds on YouTube. There are some pretty awesome builds with folding braces, binary triggers, 6" carbon threaded barrels, competition bolts, suppressors, etc.
