If your crypto data can be tracked by people with guns, just don't use *that* crypto.

A kind reminder that taxation is theft.

Very informative, if not specifically relevant to me. Who are the downvoters on a piece like this? Cryptohaters? People who didn't find it relevant? Not like he had controversial opinions that you could disagree with.

He mentions Ripple providing money for the development of the Libra tax calculator. IMO Ripple is the industry leader in commercialized DLT. They are building relationships with reputable exchanges to build the first cross-border payment/settlement crypto system. The correspondent banking system takes days to settle. The payment agreement is instant, but for the banks to settle the funds they go through multiple intermediary banks and slow the process down to deal with the counterparty risk. Using Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity using XRP, any RippleNet member financial institution can buy XRP with local fiat, transfer to another country, and the receiving bank/FI sells the XRP to their local fiat for instant settlement and available funds to their customers. This is taking cross-border value transfer from days to seconds and also significantly reduces costs. Members include PNC bank, American Express, Santander, Ria, Moneygram, Finastra, Earthport (google the VISA/MasterCard bidding war), Bank of England and other central banks, Kotak Mahindra, Westpac, Scotiabank, UBS, Credit Suisse, Credit Agricole and many others. Food for thought.

Robert, since RV is a investment site, could you suggest companies from your insiders view that one could do their own DD, and purchase stock or other type of investing. I tried, unsuccessfully to try to buy an initial stake in Hedera Hashgraph, which I believe will be a large component of blockchain infrastructure.

I have no doubt Lukka will be a major acquisition target in the very near future....PWC, or similar large firm....Good luck with those negotiations....

Title edit: The Collusion of Crypto And Fiat The Expert View - Featuring Lando Calrissian

I was an early BTC buyer, scrambled to sell almost all of the units near the top. Like a good boy told my accountant about the capital gains, he called the national firm’s Crypto early “expert” The problem for me was how to account for the forks that bitcoin had, I got BTC gold, BTC cash..I had to guess Valuations and no support from XAPO.

Very interesting! Thank you!
