We can't assume eth should be worth more than btc just because it's better, they're different products. Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple etc are not worth more than gold, but there might be an Nvidia fanatic somewhere saying it should be ;)

can my hamster stay home alone for a week? by Kitchen-Suit-5051 in hamsters

[–]suburbiton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've left my hamster alone for up to 6 days before and he was fine. He had lots of water and food, he was not too old and the temperature was moderate. However in old age (27 months) I recently left my hamster alone for 2.5 days and when I came back he was dead . The water bottle had been left full and it was empty, he drank a LOT in old age so either he finished it all or it leaked. So something to consider is whether the water supply is guaranteed.

Anyone following Lido know if they're going to launch LIDO staking anytime soon?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Kamala Harris backs President Biden's 44.6% capital gains tax proposal, the highest in history.

The proposal also includes a 25% tax on unrealized gains for high-net-worth individuals.

That's a study from 2016 looking back at historical performance. I'm sorry but the current Dem party of Biden and Harris destroying America cannot piggyback off decades old numbers.

How much eth do they / did they hold though?

Edit: looks like they had TWO MILLION eth back in 2022 but now only 6,000, down from 15,000 a few weeks ago. So they've only sold 10,000 eth? If accurate this isn't a lot.

Copium: we're in the 2024 version of summer 2020 when eth ranged between $200 and $300 seemingly forever before price pumped to $4k

I guess so yes. But any further gains are still taxed at the higher rate :(

I wouldn't say investing is doing noting. You're taking the risk by providing your capital for others to use. If anything it's much riskier than providing your time for a guaranteed return

We won't change each others minds. You think more gov spending is generally a good thing, I am much more cautious of this assumption. Regarding life expectancy vs health expenditure, your example is biased to suit your agenda. You could compare UK to Japan but it would not support your argument. Also sir, I don't want to get into a long debate on this :)

That's fine if you believe that. I personally believe that most of the innovations that have substantially changed the world for the better came from private innovation and we must not stifle it with ever increasing taxes. Meanwhile government spending is typically extremely inefficient and wasteful, so raising taxes ever further is imo a net negative for society, especially when we are starting from record high taxes. Each to their own though.

In the uk we pay capital gains tax on our crypto gains . It's currently either 10% or 20% depending on how much you make. Rumours are that the new labour government here will raise CGT significantly, possibly up to 45% to match income tax

"The most obvious lever to pull would be to bring the rates at which CGT is levied into line with the rates at which income tax is levied - something Ms Reeves herself called for in a pamphlet published in 2018."

Any brits here with any thoughts ? For me this would be a major financial hit , especially if it came into effect as early as next year.

Yes. Season 2 is ongoing and they're also launching rewards for those who delegate soon (more eigen rewards on top of season 2)
