So have I.

Pug's point, WSJ: https://outline.com/aHxbYM And knowing this, the idiots in charge continue to double down on policies that encourage fleeing. And they keep getting reelected. There must be some rational explanation for this, but I can't fathom what it might be. They've driven the taxpayers and ma...

I've never had a problem with them but I don't like that they've gone woke.

I spent 100+ hours trying to recover my BTC that was forever lost after losing my private key. All for naught. actually there only finite amount BTC ever to be mined. Wait. If I still have my old computer is my bitcoin salvageable without my private key? 20% will be lost... people forget the keys o...

I've never listened to a podcast. Am I the only one?

A fantastic article, Tyler. Thank you!

Thanks. I have fairly high capital gains distributions in my non-deferred accounts so I guess I'm kind of stuck giving NY state and city some money every year, unless I move. I already found that out. We have a 216k carry over to use from the sale of the LLC …all we have except for contra fund with...

Off topic but, mathjak107, how do you deal with the higher taxes of living in NYC? I'm retired and live there too.

It seems that they somehow terminated the IRA in some fashion with their actions, making the assets held there taxable and with penalties.

He sounds compromised to me. I would not trust much of what he says since he has no moral compass.

Bitcoin will crash and burn. It's just a matter of when. It's nothing like gold.

Gold has nothing in common with bitcoin.

I bought PHYS years ago and dislike it but I don't want to pay taxes to switch out of it. I guess I'm stuck.

What did they do with the gold after they showed it to you?

Something positive :) I am thankful that people are being held to account. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TDADlxy1GU COVID has killed about 5 million worldwide so far. Has a very long way to go before it comes even close to the number of people killed by totalitarian governments in the 20th centu...

Peter Schiff has been a proponent of gold all of this time so I wouldn't say that he's been "wrong."

Do you remember when everyone thought that Australia was a great place to deposit our gold because they respected people's rights? That narrative has sure changed, hasn't it?

Where to consider going?

Caymans
Singapore
Costa Rica
Poland

Anywhere else?

Didn't CraigR move to New Zealand? I wonder if he's regretting that move.

There was a YouTube video awhile back by someone who grew up in South America (now lives in Europe). He describes what is happening in the US as very familiar to where he grew up i.e. one side uses e.g. Antifa as violent foot soldiers and at the first sign of push back against their side they screa...

Has it already happened? It seems that our elections are stolen, the media is Pravda, and the DOJ/FBI/CIA/NSA are all politicized.

Is all lost?

This from Dr Zelenko's website. He's an anti-vaxxer but still sees the great danger from Covid. According to him, anyone contracting Covid over the age of 45 has a 5-10% mortality rate! "High Risk Patients: Patients are considered high risk if they are over the age of 45, or if they are younger...

I bought twice recently, a single ounce each time, just before the drop(s). In the long run it shouldn’t matter. I’m kind of tempted to buy one more time, but no rush.

So it's all your fault then. I thought so.
