How can an asset that started the year at 30k have been at a loss for 50% the year when it never went below 30k and reached 67k?

Oh dear ! Back to my original post for the graph page 4 ...so you cant understand that if someone had bought above todays price that they would be at a loss which accounts for roughly 50% of the days this year that someone invested in bitcoin? As the chart is titled "Bitcoin profitable days" and I have offered you just that yet you find that a problem as your statement was not true.

Oh well I chart, I do my own research, and more importantly I ignore people who give poor advice on social media and youtube in particular.

DYOR kids and let this thread be a distant memory. No more replies from me and goodbye as there's a lot of negative energy in trying to say anything on TV eh.

Nobody who bought bitcoin has lost money, except those who bought exactly 6 weeks  ago and sold since then. Of course, anyone who did that was extremely stupid. 

Not true. 

Coinglass "Bitcoin profitable days" snapshot 4.20 pm today. Simple, green in profit, red in loss as to todays spot price. Without pedantically counted the exact days, its about 50 50 for the whole year bar 1 day as its the 30th.

Crypto is a bubble.
Imaginary assets. Almost 100% speculation. 

 

I'm not saying it's bad, or that I won't buy any... but it is what it is.

There is always that chance with an immature market. I feel that it isn't and that it could well be the next step in financial evolution that will carry on way beyond our lives on this planet .....but you never know. Thus .....

Never invest more than you can afford to lose is a great piece of advice.  

 

Exactly what I have done for more than 3 years and its worked out fantastic and now all that's left is pure profit to continue speculating with. Feb 2021 I recouped all my original investment and shipped it back into baht which is a move I'm very happy with to this day.

Crypto is indeed a minefield, the wild west, high risk, madly manipulated, full of people with <deleted> advice and so on. Keep that in mind, watch out for the moonboys, shills, fomo and fud and you may be fine with it. DYOR do you own research is an absolute key to this game and if you can't be bothered then stay away imo. 

Crypto, it ain't for everyone at the end of the day.

Great shop to go to ...BKK Speed on Borommaratchachonnani road in a soi not far from Central pin Klao. Check out BKKspeed.com website for their range and other branches in Bangers too. Lot of leading brands and can get what you want from around 2500 to 15000 baht.

Thought of a flip up? Purchased a nice HJC for 7500 and best of both worlds on a Z9 ....fine open up to 130 kmh then lid down ! Also the branch in question staff knowledgeable and even one young lad with bang on English. 

Why didn't they just say "normal" opening hours ...that's midnight yeah? So cut it an hour short and expect folk to be grateful. As for where I live nearby still zero booze anywhere anytime and yet our covid cases are miles behind Bangers ......All about the Benjamins once again.

Was it not Thaskin that introducd this law,,,, To stop school kids drinking?

Yep the 2 to 5 was his baby. was it about schools I'm not sure. Nice to see this minister asking why though albeit 15 odd years later. It's no biggy of a law as if you really want a beer then mom n pop will sell you one, for sevens it's a loss in revenue every day.

Lol I'm glad he's gone but there are many posters here think he's great ....lest folk forget and without having my post removed ...Chiang Mai lawyer, land deals, phone company no tax, money politics and so on ..go goggle it yourselves and maybe realise how horrible and selfish this man was ....good riddens to him.

The Bank of Thailand has deemed that Thailand’s economy is past its lowest point

Nope, watch this space. Obviously this man in the pic doesn't get out much to see what's going on on the ground.

So wonderful news for all the bar owners in my town, which is not a touristy province, to which some of them were sprucing their places up in the hope of opening in 2 weeks time, but no. I'd say a good 50% have gone to the wayside, cleared out and the signs removed. For the remainder now, who were probably hoping for a new year boom have yet again been let down.

Yeah yeah yeah Covid yet if it attracts international tourists then maybe but for the rest of the provinces screw you. Wonderful attitude by yer man "don't be selfish" to the business owners slowly dying or dead already. So you can eat in a crowded mukata no problem in my town but you can't have a beer in a bar. One solution is the same as reduced percentages of tables and seats in restaurants ...why not the same in a bar? Another solution if you wanna get separatist is only allow folk in the bar with a 'Mor Prom' proof of double vax. But no ....why would a leader who I believe doesn't drink consider this? I bet the Sangha are loving it too btw. 

Also Jan 15th is still not an automatic day for the bars plus plenty of hoops to jump through if so, I'm absolutely sure many bar owners here will today be considering giving up as even when that date nears it can be once again pushed back. Their trust in government promises has gone 4sure.

So the quality tourists come to LOS, quality dad, quality mom, and two quality kids. End of the day after doing quality things like visiting temples, going to the beach, buying designer goods in a quality mall, eating at a quality restaurant ..guess what, quality dad would like a beer or even an XO brandy if he's proper quality ..and yet he can't . Keep on dreaming TAT for that big rush of high end quality tourists coming on November 1st.

As a side note: It was the dirty farang backpacker all those years ago that built up the potential for what we see now and laughably what the TAT hope for too ..guess that's all forgotten eh.  

Central Pinklao in English 3 times a day starting this Thurs ....Central Salaya in Thai only thus another 25 clicks up the road for me.

Friday I shall go me thinks as working Thurs damn. Canny miss it as seen every Bond flick in premiere week since the mid 70's. 

Anyway I heard from a mate that they were thinking of making Bond as a female role ....<deleted> just plain wrong and I think my time as a Bond fan would come to an end ...come on Bond as a bird? So watch it for the fit blokes being pulled by Miss. Bond ...nah don't work eh.

Every man, woman and child who enters Thailand from January 1st will have to pay 500 baht for the privilege

So that would mean everybody regardless of nationality ...Thais too. Yep it will be bunged in the ticket price pretty sure. Can a Thai claim this back? Maybe but it would be a ballache, if at all.

If this was only for tourists I could stomach it, but if long terms expats have to pay as well that would be yet another spit in the face

Me too, but it ain't a 'tourist tax' it's just simply a tax IMO.

 I thought she inherited it from Abasit as was short time after he left. Water was on the way

Yes, but she had 3 months to avert this crisis and the solution finally was to send it my way in October ....Effect schools postponed till mid late November and still cleaning up in December. Keep Bangers dry at the expense of neighbouring provinces which as in mine would have never had a problem ....yep that silly woman tyvm, I remember it too well.

However, experts insist the natural disaster seen a decade ago will not revisit Thailand this year.

Umm, it wasn't "natural" ..it was mismanagement by that silly woman, sister of corrupt boy at the time. BTW, back then diverting the water to rivers east and west of Bangers was to keep Paragon open for the hi-so's IMO ..and yep they'll do it again.

"administered for COVID-19 in Thailand, currently at rate of about 7.24/second or 625,130 each day.   That is about 72.3 doses per hundred people (~69.95 million).   At this rate, Thailand could have 70% of people vaccinated (2 doses) in 76 days (or by Dec 14, 2021).

Thailand has not reported numbers in over a week, so predicted numbers may not be accurate." Covidvax live.

So quite a long way off still for that magic WHO target. Yes confusion abound ...until you have had 2 doses and say with Pfizer for one gone a further 2 weeks after 2nd dose then you are not deemed to be "fully vaccinated". The figures banded about by Thai press and government are IMO misleading. And why no reported numbers for over a week? Thus estimates. Nope Thailand ain't ready yet to "open up".

Getting a TIN does not mean you have to file tax returns.

Ubon Joe much respect for your knowledge over the years but just from my own experience even when I started my 1st job in October 2003 I still had to go to the amphur tax office to pay zero baht (as obviously way under the threshold for 3 months salary) and obtain a receipt for said zero baht. The University that I was working at the time were very insistent I do this. 

Joe, is this a case of zero income no 90 or 91 form to fill in? Cheers.
