I'm trying to see if bter and btc38 can do retroactive snapshots
Hey toast,
Thank you… I appreciate the sentiment expressed and fully recognize that you are doing
your best under arduous circumstances.
Even though I have a fair amount of business experience ( in startup and other situations) this merger and its aftermath was not exactly the kind of situation someone on the outside could foresee or hedge against -- even with a pocketful of bitUSD .
But I know how dynamic situations can be when you are breaking new ground so to speak ..and this DAC/DPOS ecosphere is quite pioneering.. and for me it’s a challenging learning curve and I’m sure for most “newbie -investor-shareholder– enthusiasts “ it’s also a venture into unknown territory .. I was trying to choose whether to invest in precious metals, DNS or BTC…I chose DNS…
So obviously you, BM etc., had to make some tough choices and I see that the I3 team is voluntarily trying to provide consolation at their own expense -- which in this day and age is indeed a rare principled and altruistic gesture.
So kudos, you exhibit much integrity and that gives me faith to probably invest even more than I might have initially contemplated & I will continue to support..
The silver lining in this situation is that I and all US taxpayers can still write off up to $3k in capital losses against ordinary income on our tax returns and for those who may have incurred greater losses they can carry them forward to future years to be offset against, HOPEFULLY, substantial BTS(x)capital gains.!
I don’t know about the tax laws in other countries but all US based investors are aware of this, so no harm in reminding DNS (USA) holders.. and of course those of us who have also lost a chunk on BTC…( are painfully aware..LOL !
So the best solace is success and I wish the best for all the DACs..(or as of Nov. 5th..a.k.a. BTS features..!)
and thanks to Hadrian (link) also for his or her words
