how much BITCON has been sucked out of your wallet

[walkingstick]

suckers born every day. "step right up folks, buy the magic blue smoke."

[walkingstick]

whether you call it ******* of bitcon, the whore takes all.

None. I never believed in bitcoin. But, then again, I don't believe in the dollar either. Only stable, income producing companies have any genuine value.

How is their income measured?

Geez...

It could be measured in anything.  So long as the numbers going in are less than the numbers flowing out.  Profitable companies, businesses, or people are the measure of true wealth.

In units of currency, Skans.

F'n A.

Could be currency, gold, bullets, whatever people believe has value.  As long as 1) there is only one unit of measure and 2) more goes out than goes in, the company have genuine intrinsic value.  Currency does not have intrinsic value.

No....it's called GAAP.

You can't report your income in units of your choosing.

...earth to republican-radio-level dummy [and monetary ignoramus], the 'companies' about which you blather are controlled by the highest bidder$ of 'dollars'...the 'income' they produce is measured in 'dollars'...etc..ad nau$eam...whether you bidumptards 'believe in it' or not....   

 ...alas, the loud,    pathetic, brain-laundered republicrat.... always flailing at the leave$ of the tree of evil, never striking at the root$......

Sure I can.  I am not a publicly traded company governed by the SEC reporting laws.

Then why report at all?

I don't.  You mentioned GAAP, not me.

If there is no measure, how do you know if your business is profitable?

The next time you report your income, then, instead of writing down your income in dollars, write down the equivalent in Bitcoin, Guaranis, Sheckels or Nairas.
The IRAs requires everyone to report their income yearly.
Don't they also require to report it in US dollars?

[Xavier_Onassis]

Bitcoin is a gamble. Lots of people have made fortunes trading crypto currency. Many have also lost fortunes.
It is probably a better gamble than state lotto tickets or powerball, but I am not playing.
I do not think that Bitcoin will cease to be.
I notice that you can buy actual Bitcoin bitcoins on Wish, your choice of gold or silver color. I am sure that many a scam is possible using these.

I presume you mean IRS.  Yes, they want it reported TO THEM in dollars. Barter income must be converted into US dollars based on fair market value.  So, if you are using bullets or gold, you have to use the USD fair market value for the IRS. 

But, that's really irrelevant.  The Dollar has no intrinsic value. Outside of some very limited industrial use, Gold has no intrinsic value either. But, a company that, through its processes, takes in less of a value-measurement (such as dollars) and churns out more value than it took in, has intrinsic value.  The whole is worth more than the sum of its parts (i.e. liquidation value)

The dollar can be exchanged for Euros, Pesos, Reis, Colones, and Rands as well as pretty much any merchandise that one might wish to purchase.
Only a few places will accept payment in Bitcoin, Dogecoin or Ethereum.
So the US Dollar is more useful than any digital currency.
The only things that are really useful to humans are food, shelter and clothing. But lots of luck bartering porkchops, t shirts or lodging for any of your needs.
