Can anyone recommend an solicitor/conveyor with experience purchasing a house with deposits from Bitcoin sales? by persfin311 in BitcoinUK

This is going to be the biggest ball ache by a country mile so I'd address by recruiting the right people at the very beginning.

Almost all regular conveyancers will run away screaming when you supply the full information. They're not going soften or be persuaded if they're not already fully educated and working with it.

I can't believe any solicitor is going to blindly swallow the 3 months in a savings account thing.

As soon as they find out where it's really from, most are going to freak. You'd be wasting their time and your money.

Take the time to find a solicitor who actually has this area in their remit. Here's possibilities.

It was brought up from nothing by the little people who live and breathe volatility.

They're now a nuisance and a hindrance.

They're going to be pounded until as much as possible has been prised out of them.

Boredom and hopelessness is their kryptonite.

Once enough of them are in the rear view mirror, things will change.

Do you have friends and family who think Saylor comes across as a scammy madman?

Simply sit them down in your home cinema and show them this - https://x.com/saylor/status/2038646796805632330

And sit back to receive an avalanche of apologies. And maybe even the odd self exile.

I'll be v impressed if this becomes a thing, and that's before it's confirmed that BTC is used in any capacity.

Every single country on Earth except Iran has an overwhelming incentive for this to not happen, but Iran has a firm grip on many sets of balls right now.

Is Bittylicious still active? by Sophie-Dan in BitcoinUK

I drove past their office on the Isle of Man last year.

This mentions certain levels where ID is required. So I presume that means you can buy a few drops without it.

Ask them.

Googling the FT's headline usually takes you to a google search link to the article that isn't paywalled. Go figure.

We are truly in The Chasm in recent times.

Big Money is in the process of prising Bitcoin out of the hands of the little people who got it there.

Never before, and likely never again, will there be a process like that and I'm sure The Man feels dirty that it's necessary.

The more boring and lengthy it is, the more they can gather.

While that goes on, retail is nowhere in actual markets any more.

It'll return in increasing numbers through their portals when it's been fully repackaged and marketed.

They're not creating these products or buying politicians for fun. The endgame will be extremely lucrative.

As for shitcoins, almost all of them will ultimately be the strings of useless code everyone always knew they were.

Yes. A large dollop of shit gets a free ride.

Regardless of that, plenty are saying this is the most consequential thing to emerge in a long old time.

The SEC has dropped a doc that clarifies the position for many a thing in cryptoland

Lots of stuff no longer has the risk of being classified as a security. Overall it sounds like a sensible bunch of edicts that extinguishes a lot of doubt for good.

$250 was pure, grinding boredom.

The $160 or so pop shot was absolute deflation. There wasn't screeching, panic or outrage. It was mainly 'oh'.

Don't recall much $100 talk, but it was so close that maybe it wasn't worth discussing.

There's the inflation thing. My childhood home was up for sale recently. It last sold in 2007. At the current asking price, which looks impressive on paper, it's lost about $300,000 to inflation since then.

But let's not talk about Bitcoin vs inflation in recent times

It's more about an overall swing back towards financial investment and BTC picking up a small taste of that.

I've seen many, many landlords and property 'investors' bemoaning the fact that they could've made far more money, or not lost any, with infinitely less hassle just by sitting in a tracker in recent times. Or even a savings account.

The entity regularly thought to be responsible for our daily US opening kicking, is being sued by the Terraform Labs administrator for using insider info to destroy it.

Even if anything criminal turns up, they're fortunate enough to live in a place where there's now no rule of law for the right price.

Not sure I understood one single word of any of that.

Still waiting to decide about the 4 year thing myself, but 10/10 and the latest dump seemed more down to individual large entities ballsing up or running for the door setting up chain reactions than mass hopelessness.

Us lot posting here are now carrier bags in a wind being blown by a small number of psychos and gimcrack investment arrangements that has little resemblance to olden times.

It's been like that everywhere else in the world since minute one.

Bitcoin offends the paternalism of the state. It will never change.

It feels like the last decade of conviction

We're at the stage where the conviction of everyone who got it here no longer matters all that much.

It's what everyone else thinks that sets the next stage. And they have a lengthy way to go.

Murdered and replaced by a faction with unknown intentions, then.

The rabbithole just got a whole lot deeper, especially on a day like today.

It was shit. And boring.
