Amazing to think 200  bn plus of market cap, across these crypto,  and I ain't got a scoobies why. Guess I'm never gonna  apply myself to learn why but it is extraordinary

With a coup d'etat in progress, Mr Mugabe effectively locked up, & many of the Government Ministers about to experience the smell of burning rubber tyres at close hand, these are the perfect conditions to encourage speculators to join the fun.

Very good, but would John Claude Gooner or Hans Von Gooner attach any value to them?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Hypothetically speaking if I cashout x amount of bitcoin from a poker site, the bitcoin increases by y amount in value so that capital gains tax would need to be enforced, but I also use that bitcoin to play poker on various other sites where I win/lose z amount, is there any way for the IRS to prove that I have to pay CGT on the bitcoins I have held? So for example I withdraw $100k worth of BTC to my exchange, I redeposit $70k of that, lose $20k but the $30k I have in the exchange increases in value by $10k does that qualify? Is there any way for the IRS to prove this? Are they in contact with the exchanges?

I would say you only pay cgt on assets held in a wallet on an exchange. As soon as you deposit into the poker site it's no different to purchasing a loaf of bread. Even though you could lose half your roll while playng poker, if BTC doubles you have effectively parred your losses.

In saying that the US tax system is totally different to the UK so you would really need to clarify this with an accountant over there.

If there is a poker site that accepts American players into an international player pool please spill the beans. I miss playing the Americans and I was a raging fish back then so feel as though I missed out!
