I went to 3 accountants prior to all of this and none of them knew about these regulations. That included PWC. I don't know what one is supposed to do in Spain to be honest. I once heard my wife talking to the tax man there (she's spanish) asking what to write for a particularly obscurely written question after they put in the regs a few years ago that one gets fined per error on a return. The lady on the phone said she had no idea, got her boss and she had no idea. The tax office literally had no idea how to fill out tax forms

My partners were not in Spain. They were in UK so totally different. Personally I don't understand anything when it comes to taxes. In spain it just seems to be go work, give everything to someone else and be grateful for good food. They were in UK and paid entrepeneurs tax of only 10% and only on cash portion. I stopped caring when I started stacking sats and left europe.

2024-08-26 19:30:44

I've seen a little discussion on the tax on unrealised gains. It sounds like a horror show for sure but I can attest to the fact that it's MUCH worse when it actually happens to you.
Set up company with some friends, get my ideas coded into a piece of software. Launch, not quite success but eventually sell. Deal is part shares, part cash and the purchaser wanted us truly vested in. I went 60% cash / 40% shares. Shares are in a private company and cannot be sold.
When I came round to tax time, my accountant informs me I have to pay tax on the full amount (i.e unrealised gains) and it was in Spain so top rate 45%. Should take too much to figure out I wasted years of my life setting up a tech company only for the government to take everything off me. I still have those shares I suppose and one day, maybe I'll be able to sell them, who knows? At least am not in Spain any more cause guess what? If I could sell them, and I lived in Spain, I'd pay tax again on that.
If they tax unrealised gains, 1929 market crash will look like a sunday picnic. In the mean time, if you are an entrepeneur, make sure to take a little time to check all the fine details in local tax code or you might be working ONLY to pay the salary of some public sector thief!

The migration of skilled people from tyrannical countries to those that promote and encourage freedom will hopefully be the market driver of revolt through greater wealth generation flooding to less oppressive locales over the next few decades. With a little luck and a lot of freedom tech, we could even enter golden age such as northern Italian city states of old!
Keep shilling! Costa Rica not too bad either for now although having a clear and defined constituional clause stating that the minister of health can take over government in times of a health emergency is not a good sign and one does see many links to supranational "stakeholder" groups unfortunately

Exactly, hard to explain to outsiders. Last time I was in Bari, was wandering around with some family members and uncle started heading towards historic town center. My aunt (from UK) stopped and asked if it was ok to enter. Response was that outsider have been allowed in safely for a few years. Explaining things like that in this age to people just results in blank stares of incomprehension.
I then took my missus on a little tour around the south and she said she wanted to stop to take a pee. We were driving through Mondragone near Naples. I said I'd rather wait and when she asked why, I said look closer at the people and streets and where we are and pay more attention. After a minute or two she said she was very happy to wait a bit

Ithis going to end upa personal thread to return to and refresh thoughts. Please feel free to add comments. If stray gas can be used for mining, is there a rational business model that is win-win to scaling up decentralised mining? A method thats rationally viable to offer less well off plebs to access free or cheap energy thst balances the drilling and production costs? Does it have to partially be altruistic? If one is a true believer in the potential of decentralised systems, is providing that resource, potentially at ones own expense potentially self serving in network resilience to protect ones own butcoin wealth. Selfish altruism in a system of circular positive incentivisation?

Obviously got their priorities correct. I still never truly understood why i didnt have issues in the countries ive lived in where i just didnt bother correcting name on official paperwork. Have a friend who emigrated from Iran to Uk. They fucked something up on his name and date of birth and caused hell for him. Blew my mind it took over 10 years to fix. Decentraluse everything, call yourself Bob to everyone to make it easier to remember and be done! In costa rica, everyone uses whatsapp so on mine, name is close but nit correct. Makes it easier for me whn people contact me. If its someone i dont remember cause am an idiot, i know cause they use mt real name. If its someone i dont know reaching out from a community chat, they use the wrong name. Simple triage!

Going to be doing an introduction to nostr for local group. I have been very lazy learning as have been busy with too many other projects. I'd like a little help. Have found some good guides available to get up to speed but have a few questions.
I use Primal and coracle on web and have nostrconnect on browser. Is this best nsec plugin? I see many comments on #Alby but just get bad gateway when trying to find any info. I have #Damus on an iphone to show and also use #Amethyst on Graphene.
My plan is to put nostr connect on laptop and then set up new nsec on there with people and go through process with primal but I need the most simple process for setting up, guide on nsec security, most simple way to connect wallet and wallet recommendations for total newbies to nostr/bitcoin.
Currently just looking through nostr.com and nostr.how. Just realising how much of a minefield this will be for newbies and how much confusion I could cause. Any suggestions?

So I’ve been thinking about political labels a bit. Now we know that communism is statism where the state takes full control of capital allocation and becomes a tyranny. Fascism, the state is co-opted by corporates and capital allocation is in their favour under a statist tyranny. In effect, they’re both sides of the same coin. That being the case, should we not term people together under one banner who fall under “left” or “right” doctrinal perspectives? Makes it easier for people to see through the bullshit right?
That being the case, I’d propose mixing the two words as a hybrid: Fascionists! 🙄 (my head was going more Spanish with Fascionistas)

That's the thing, I don't personally think it gets worked out. It's all good. I take them for walk in countryside and he doesn't attack anyone. When we see people, I whistle and he comes and sit waiting for me to put the leash on as if he's saying he wants to be controlled. He just seems to need to mark people if they come to the house. If friends actually listen and bend down and face him and wait for him to come to them, no problems. At what point is an animal a problem in some way. I don't personally think he's doing anything wrong if he's afraid, it might be up to other not to make him feel that way.
Am sure in the modern world, to many people that sound irresponsible but here in costa rica, we have loads of street dogs and strays. I know many people who've been bitten. Every time I hear of it and I ask if they backed up when dog was being agressive, making sure not to turn their backs, I find they all did the same thing. Turn round and get bitten on the back of the calf. It is a standard attack for a dog. Is the dog responsible for the person's ignorance?

Escalation is happening in many places and in different ways. I know someone here in Costa Rica who is a highly respected vet.

Thanks for responding, duly followed sir. Thanks for putting the material online. I am trying to put together a bitcoin and nostr onboarding course locally. I wasn't sure if the material would be useful to me. Once I put together the course, if material used, I know where to zap. Many thanks, have a great day sir.

Thanks for the suggestion. By the way, tried to zap you and says you don't have a lightning address set up, might be worth considering. If you want recommendations, look up Derek Ross, he has great tutorials etc, check out Alby wallet or just throw in a wallet of satoshi address into your profile if interested. If relatively new to nostr, it is very common for people to send sats as tips to say thanks for posts, replies and recommendations.... as well as good memes!
