Treat cryptocurrency investing as gambling, MPs say

  1. I like to think of myself as an intelligent person but I still have no idea what the fuck it is, what was going on with those monkey pictures? How you you mine crypto from the internet?

  2. If you treat it as gambling then all profits are tax free. This would be highly popular with the crypto community

    Also there would be far less restrictions from banks on how much you could deposit into a crypto exchange if it was treated as gambling

  3. I mean, so is what funds your pension, so…

    It’s not gambling though. Like it? Sure, with many of the same issues and plays on our psychology.

  4. It does have some of the wildest win/lose swings but surely you can apply this logic to the entire concept of investing in anything?

    Staking your money on something to succeed is gambling, whether it’s bitcoin or shares in a failing video game retailer.

  5. I mean it’s no different from any other type of investing really, they’re all gambling, nothing is a guaranteed return on investment. There have been big banks that have disappeared as well as other household name brands.

  6. Well, it’s gambling of you’re a normal person, but if you’re a politician or executive, you can just insider trade and get away with it.
