You can now buy and sell Bitcoin directly in Paypal 🙂

There is another alternative so call getblockcard.com but that getblockcard Ternio tokens hasn’t been doing well at all, a lot of negatives on how a user sends bitcoin value just to find out it shrunk up to 50%, meaning $50 deposit only $25 available to spend, despite their promise of cash back rewards and earning still doesn’t account for the loss when making the deposit, on top of that user being charged $5 a month for the card inactivity. So if you deposit $50 BTC, and only $25 to spend, but if you don’t spend it, your balance will be $0 in 5 months or less if you don’t use your card spend at least $500 a month. That $25 balance you have will not be spendable as $25, it will go down to $20, $10, $1, but not $0 though due Ternio token price fluctuating.

As many in the Cryptocurrencies business know, over the past few days Bitcoin confirmation been super slow and expensive, even so expensive backlog of confirmation occurred and over 100k transactions and counting waiting to be confirmed.

Bitcoin transactions that have have no fees will never get confirmed and eventually will get drop off and reversed back to the sender in a week or 2.

Bitcoin transactions that have low fees will get confirmed but could days up to 4 days or a week.

Bitcoin transactions that have high fees, still will have to wait a very long time to get confirmed, depend on how much the high fees are, if higher than others then may take priority, just higher doesn’t mean your transaction will get confirmed right away.

So let say if you send $500 with $7 fee thinking $7 is high fee your transaction should get confirmed within 10 minutes? NO – not over the past few days and maybe many days ahead.

The good news is that if your transaction don’t confirmed it will get removed in a week or 2 then it will be back on your wallet or you can just send it again with higher fees.

The bad news are: How is Bitcoin going work as micro payment? – no confirmation needed? – are you sure? no confirmation needed? what if no confirmation for a week or 2? meaning it will get removed and the payment will not go through. How is Bitcoin going to work at the BTM (Bitcoin ATM) machine? – withdrawal of cash by sending Bitcoin and wait for a day or 2 or a week at the BTM machine to redeem cash?

It doesn’t matter where, online or offline, too many people fall for this scam and loss so much money and time, in addition to embarrassment. I have witness personally and seen it again today at a local ATM.

Army / Military Scam
A popular scam is to create the illusion that the scammer is in the military. Military personnel are generally considered trustworthy and honorable, making them an ideal persona for dating scams. Being deployed overseas is a great excuse to steal money from their victims.

I found this on reddit while doing research on yobit.net exchange scam. Seems so true for virtual currency, if a person want to play around with Bitcoin might want to consider this 8 bullets points 🙂

This person asked: ” [02.08.20 23:10] How do I calculate tax when using Ternio Blockcard?” Got No answer as of now.

How would a tax professional give me advice on your currency?

Wesley, [25.04.20 20:27]
[In reply to KAHZI – CEO]
It’s no different than exchanging Bitcoin to Ethereum etc. You are exchanging Bitcoin to Tern. You would be responsible for keeping up with your own taxes. No exchanges advise on taxes. Why would Ternio be any different?

Is ternio taxed?

Are you asking if transactions are taxed when we buy things with the card because we are selling Tern when we make purchases?

Does this card keep logs of online purchases and withdraws and does it get reported?

You carry your own responsibility in case of IRS reporting. Ternio does not give or provide any tax advice. You are free to share the data on your dashboard with your CPA

Lol… good choice

I think tax liability is another interesting discussion point… comparing the function of the cards – and how trade gain liabilities are addresses on MCO.. at least for US citizens that could be messy..

Michael Kocher, [12.07.19 00:27]
Outside of the managed trading system on MCO potentially causing US taxable grief – I like that there is only tax liability on gains for only the purchase amount on TERNIO – with 100% holding head room.. vs a loading a specific amount on fiat debit card – that’s a tax liability for the entire loaded amount at time of cash out, and your limited to the amount of the cash out for headroom…

It’s all interesting points of conversation…

You have a great night – I have 6hrs of driving ahead of me – right away in the morning – so I need to put a pin this product debate, and try to sleep.. take care JC…

I love ternio but we need tax free spending of crypto in my opinion for these type of platforms to really take off

Deleted Account, [30.06.19 12:57]
Tax free ? I mean literally 4 dollars to load the card then sales tax? I mean as long as you stay in crypto why would you ever need to pay capital gains tax you leave the value in crypto. Can someone maybe clarify if my assumption are correct?

Archer Bullseye, [30.06.19 13:02]

He is likely talking about the federal tax implications behind spending crypto

Deleted Account, [30.06.19 13:02]
At a store ?

Archer Bullseye, [30.06.19 13:04]
Spending crypto is a tax event and may generate capital gains or losses, which can be short-term or long-term. For example, say you bought one coin for $100. If that coin was then worth $200 and you bought a $200 gift card, there is a $100 taxable gain. Depending on the holding period, it could be a short- or long-term capital gain subject to different rates.

First of all, this is Ternio BlockCard. Not BitPay.
Second, this is not an ATM card. It is a (crypto) prepaid debit card.
Third, i believe cash back is a functionality of the cash register that is at the retailer’s discretion. If you buy a $20 item and want $10 cash back, a transaction of $30 is posted to the card and the cashier hands you 10 bucks out of the till. Cash back is typically “rung up” as a tax differed “item”.

Great work on visa logo! Hv a follow up Q on blockcard for usa folks, since in usa every crypto txn is taxable event, so will ternio help with tax form, generating txns buy/sell data that is schedule D form?

Yes, we provide a transaction history so regardless of where you are in the world, you have whatever necessary informatio is required to follow your local laws

login to your account and you should see a “transactions” tab at the tp

G’day Dennis, agreed it is only one individual’s idea but I for one second it 100%, would you be so kind as to forward it to the team, as I think it would be an extremely big draw card, I didn’t know that you could achieve the same tax incentive via Visa but if you cut out the middleman (Visa), it makes Ternio more streamlined to the masses, hence a one stop shop.

Wish I could respond, but as an Admin, I am a quasi-official voice for Ternio. I cannot give you tax advice. I can share that since the value in any event of a single win is less than US$600, there will not be any tax documents sent to you. if you win more than once, then tax documents will be sent. Ternio would through that doc be making a valuation statement which would establish your basis in the event of future gain or loss. Sorry, can’t go any further

There was a question: I have a question for the future actually, let say I have 3 masternode running and one day I decide to stop masternode, how do I stop it properly so that I can withdraw or exchange all my Bitcore BTX coin?

And the answer: Your coins are always un your wallet. The easiest way to unblock them is change masternode.config file.
Just add a # in front if the masternode’s data you want to stop. Save the file, close the wallet and open It again. That is all
