If someone becomes a billionaire from watching one of your videos would you accept a $25 million dollar donation?

Best of luck with your billion dollar idea. Even if LMG won't accept a $25 million donation you could just buy a million LTT water bottles on lttstore.com

i'm not an economist so take this with a grain of salt, but i'd assume if crypto got big enough, government regulation will kick in with taxes same as it does with everything else

Yeah, they'll require taxes. But, the ecosystem is designed so they aren't guaranteed funds. I'll pay my taxes. But, this can happen. I have a trillion dollars of Bitcoin. I buried my cryptographic recovery key in the woods somewhere. I get a sense the feds are coming, I smash my hardware wallet, and burn the sheet of paper with my recovery phrase and pin. I sit in prison, and when I get out I retrieve the funds. 

 

I think I could possibly become a trillionaire too if this works, and a drop 2 mil in a company worth 2 cents that's the leader in development of IQ boosting drugs. (if they're successful the stock will shoot up to $25k, and I can prop them up until they are) I'd then have the wealth of a nation state, and can start a Libertarian utopia named Galt's Gulch. You may immigrate if your IQ is above 130, and don't want to pay taxes. Once the US collapses, (everyone making the society functional would leave) come back and give a 60 page speech on the virtues of capitalism, and tell everyone how things will run if you want a functional society.

You're either trolling or way past the point of able to be educated. I usually employ Hanlon's razor, but this time, my instinct tells me you're really just a troll when you spout nonsense like this.

I'm an anarcho-capitalist. Lysander Spooner beat the government till they made his delivery service illegal. USPS has not innovated in like 125 years since then. Monopolies are corrupt, and without a government, like all cancers, they kill themselves. Read the Machinery of Freedom.

Can't tell if I'm a genius either. There's no guarantee a trillionaire does not have that much money from being completely crazy, and taking huge risks. Though, Libertarians have been threatening this for a long time if people don't listen to them. You can buy a country in South America, and Peter Tiel is researching floating platforms for moving out of the US. I don't like socialism, so I'll use my money to stop it. 

 

Watch, I've figured out the whammy pattern.

And when you retrieve the funds, there are gains on your investment. Those gains are taxable. If you don't pay the taxes, they send you back to jail for tax evasion. Alternately you slowly launder the funds a little bit at a time to try to avoid the IRS, but lo and behold, the bank reports suspicious deposits, even if they are less than 10000, but either add up to 10k or are suspicious, then you get arrested for tax evasion AND money laundering. Back to jail you go. Lets say you somehow avoid that part and get out of jail and get your money back. You STILL WENT TO JAIL!!!! Why would that be a worthy trade? Make some honest money, stay out of jail and invest wisely and you don't have to be a criminal. If you're willing to be a criminal if it means you get a trillion, then the question of crypto or donating 25 mil isn't really the issue here. 

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

If I'm a trillionaire I could move to Liechtenstein, and pay off the debt if the government bakes a 0% income tax in, term limits on congress, repeal social security, and balanced budget amendment. I'll also live with my five empresses, in the crystal moon palace I paid Elon Musk to build. I'll be a James Bond villian.

Probably would do both. In 2012 you'd be able to farm tons of coins, and just hold them. I don't believe exchanges existed back then so purchasing large quantities was sketchy. You bought Lyndon dollars, and converted them to Bitcoin. I wonder if people are committing tax evasion doing that these days. 

Knowing there are a few people in norway with mining rigs stacking beyond 30 to 50 cards.. I wouldnt be suprised..

 

Not that it feels that hard to make money with stock novadays, but im so sure its taxable in norway x'D (Probably in the us or somewhere else, should be taxable?)

I read the occasional biography and the one important part of the story they all say is someone told them how or directed them who to see to be a billionaire, but each one ends up saying I did it on my own.
