Everyone I know who claimed that he would retire when he had X dollars, is well past that breakwater point, and is working harder than ever. I like what I do, and I don't do just one thing, why would I ever retire? I probably "work" less than most but that's because I'm very efficient. I can find time for important things and for unimportant things, and devote the same level of effort to each, and won't let go until each task is completed.

So if you win a million dollars on less than 200 trades in the year, Coinbase won't send you a 1099-K. Does that mean the IRS will never hear about you as long as you never do more than 199 trades a year? You could get by on 16 trades or less a month, right?

I looked it up: I received 81 BTC between 12/16 and 5/17. Would have been worth $2.7M today, had I held it.
That actually wasn't my biggest financial mistake. In late 1997 I sold Apple stock for $60k, that I'd paid $40k for. Would be worth $7.4M today.

I looked at the Bluejay website once. I recall thinking that there were any number of things on there that could be monetized heavily. For example that How to Buy a House thing - there are guys who write up guides not much more detailed than that, and have teams of telemarketers pushing it for a grand a pop, and then get the buyers (suckers) to buy more expensive packages, come to seminars, etc. Relatively small entities like that are raking in a half million gross a month. It just comes down to how hungry you are and how far you're willing to push things.
If anything, I'm generally not hungry, and pretty complacent. I work all day, but I also find time to goof off, such as on these forums. I go through cycles though when I'll push some new project to the max, and then other times when I'll just stick with what I'm doing and nothing new.
As far as stocks, most of us traded a given goldmine stock until we finally "got it" and hodled.

Said the guy who has repeatedly posted up screen shots of the exact same lame post I made. So much so that.... many other members got sick of it and called you out.
You started multiple threads about me on more than one forum. Apparently, you even discuss me on your own defunct forum(did you start a thread about me there too?) You even made me the Co-star of your own adventures.
You attempted to Dox me by quoting a mysterious new member that suddenly showed up on a forum just to do that( Many suspect it was your own sock puppet) You quoted it more than once and the timing was suspiciously odd. luckily for you, it was bogus info, but you didn't know that. You have been suspended here for attempted Doxing.
One of your latest gems: Just the other day, you took the time and effort to take screenshots and and quotes of about 40 to 50 different things you could find where someone said anything negative about me, mostly the same
few people. Guys like Freddy, one of the biggest trolls ever, a guy who has said absolutely horrible things about many of the people on this forum, including Mike(Freddy, your buddy). You then compiled them and posted them up. WHO DOES THAT????For that matter, Who does any of that?

Scroll back. I posted about my experience with bitcoin, posing a serious question to Bluejay and you and your buddy PokerGrinder came in and started talking sh*t. OnceDear's sarcastic playacting was along the same lines. The three of you. That's all there is to it.

And that supposed experience was so far out in left that it should be considered misinformation and flat out wrong. It could potentially be financially dangerous to someone who knows nothing about BTC. It needed to be called out, questioned and corrected.
I'm still wondering, WHO/WHAT TYPE OF PERSON DOES ALL THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE? And then has the balls to call that person out, someone who's guilty of 100 times worst. One might equate some of that to stalker behavior. It's certainly above and beyond some simple forum banter.

I hadn't posted on here in a month. I didn't even start posting after that month elapsed, I was busy and might've come in some days after. I posted in this thread, and you felt compelled to come in and inject your usual sh*t stirring.
If you want to take all the time to post all this that you're posting today, scroll back and find my first post in this thread which posed a legitimate question. The question wasn't even posed to you, it was posed to Bluejay. Who knows, maybe you didn't even READ my post to GET to the part where I was asking Bluejay a question. Of course you had to waste everyone's time by playing games and stirring sh*t as usual. Just because you're sore over something that you think happened over a MONTH ago is no reason to come in here half cocked.

Hi PG... and others in this thread.Quote: PokerGrinder... on another gambling forum...
I've seen some of the hostile invective that's thrown about on 'another gambling forum' between contributors to this thread. It seems to go way beyond forum banter.
Here's a reminder that replicating or bringing it to this forum is not appropriate. Though it's not explicitly forbidden in the rules, Wizard has often made that clear. Rule 19 and 12 covers this to my satisfaction.
https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/info/rules/2-forum-rules/#post37215
Some members make claims that others find 'incredible'. Some are personally hostile.
Feel free to take and keep that invective elsewhere.
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, though they don't necessarily state explicit reason. We could inadvertently get political with a topical example. Let's not.Quote: ChumpChangeDo people get barred from Coinbase or banks because of certain actions, like insurrection?
Financial institutions can cease to do business with individuals with whatever reason they see fit. 'Certain actions' is a broad category.
Here's an example from the UK
Quote: Jackie Uhi, head of branch network for HSBC UK, said:
“Our branch colleagues are key workers are continuing go to work in our branches every day so that customers who need them can access essential financial services.
...
“If you do visit us, please wear a face covering and maintain a safe distance from others. If individuals put themselves or our colleagues at risk, without a medical exemption, we reserve the right to withdraw their account.

If you tell them you got paid from an online casino, they'll tell you to withdraw your balance so they can close your account, because they don't want to touch online gambling money for legal reasons. If you lie about where you got the Bitcoin, then you've committed felony bank fraud.<snip>
MichaelBluejay,
If as you say they ask only for the first such transaction, why not simply have a large, "legitimate" (in the sense that the bank won't decline it out of hand), transaction first, to get that question out of the way?

No, and stop trying to be a pedant. I'm sure my meaning is clear to everyone else. The first large sale is certain to invite scrutiny, and I have experience with that, and that's what's relevant to most people in most situations, so that's what I wrote about. I never said that future large sales wouldn't invite scrutiny. They might, but I can't comment on them either way, because I don't know for sure, because I NEVER MADE IT PAST THE FIRST SALE.
