  1. Then you'll also need a work permit to have a bank account in Thailand, which won't work. The KYC for crypto exchanges falls under the same rules as stocks and derivatives trading, no work permit necessary so long as the person investing indicates that they understand the risks.
  2. The value of Bitcoin derives (in part) from the following: 1. A trust-less system of value transfer - no need for third parties who could turn out to be bad actors, add additional costs or interfere with the transfer process. 2. Fast transaction times between people thousands of miles apart. 3. An immutable distributed ledger, which cannot be hacked as it is distributed and you can even validate your own transactions if you run a node. 4. The consensus algorithm, which means attacks on the network are disincentivized because of cost and all transactions are checked and verified. 5. The ledger cannot be tampered with or altered see #4. 6. It is outwith governmental control, giving economic sovereignty to the individual. 7. It is hard money, because supply is limited and intrinsic value is derived through proof of work (computational power expended). 8. It allows you to be your own bank. 9. You can easily check all transactions from a web browser. 10. It's pseudonymous, much like an IP address. 11. It'd democratic - any changes to the network have to be agreed among all parties. Anything I missed?
  3. 1. You don't need a work permit to trade crypto. If that were the case local exchanges would require you to prove you have one when registering. 2. Yes, based on any profits made, actualised back into THB. 3. See point #1
  4. Patent nonsense. Supply is limited to 21 million. You Euro is not backed by anything tangible except government promises and debt. It's soft money and will continuously devalue until the inevitable crash as history has repeatedly proven.
  5. Michael Saylor personally bought 17,732 bitcoin at an average purchase price of $9,882. Bitcoin is currently at $36,000 as of typing this post. 250%+ up is not dangerously close to being in the red. ????
  6. That's the second photo you have posted without context. What are you trying to insinuate? That because the victim had a bag of Kamagra and a bottle of vodka on the table he deserved to be attacked and killed?
  7. Thaksin has ruffled some feathers with his accusations I see.
  8. Being from the UK and lived in Thailand most of my life, I've never owned a V8, however I have driven a few in Australia including a FPV Super Pursuit ute that my mate owned. That was pretty quick.
  9. I am the very model of a modern Major-General I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights Historical From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical
  10. This place tends to attract more than its fair share. Wonder why?
  11. Policeman on a big bike killing a young woman then fleeing the scene. Despicable and out of control.
  12. The road accident rates and resultant injuries, disabilities and fatalities would disagree with you there.
  13. Triumph bikes are designed in the UK at Hinckley, and Royal Enfield up the road after pinching some of their lead designers.
  14. I see a Garrett turbo which pushes out 163bhp stock, more than enough to see off all coal-rolling pickups, SUV derivatives, Camrys and most other vehicles on Thai roads, which is good enough for me. I now also have a 718 Cayman S in the garage, but the A-class is my daily driver. It's funny, but nobody tries to race the Porsche, but they will all have a go at the Benz, and nearly always end up embarrassed if I give it a squirt.
  15. The soi dogs are out of control in Banglamung and Laem Chabang, posing a danger to people walking around, running in front of traffic and being a general nuisance. Thailand has to get tough on these feral dogs if it wants to be considered a civilised place.
  16. Then the government should subsidise helmet production and enforce mandatory helmet laws instead of doing absolutely nothing.
  17. On that same corner when the first bar Traveller's Corner was built there back in 2004, the customers who included my good self, witnessed a coach load of Korean tourists get stuck trying to turn down the soi, and the driver got himself tooled up with an iron bar and proceeded to smash up a taxi that was in the coach's way. The faces of the tourists on the bus was priceless. Fun times.
