Cryptocurrencies
- How do Bitcoin and other crypto currencies work?
- How does taxation on Bitcoin work? (taxation on private currencies)
All bitcoins you earn as 'income' are taxable. If you make a transaction with bitcoin (eg buying a coffee) you may be making a capital gain depending on the price of the bitcoin when you bought it and when you used it to buy something, therefore it is taxable. You are not taxed if you bought Bitcoins or any crypto-currencies with your own money.
Co-evolution
"The dethronement of learning is one of the most exciting intellectual frontiers we are now crossing. In a virtual cyclotron, learning is being smashed into its primitives. Scientists are cataloguing the elemental components for adaptation, induction, intelligence, evolution, and coevolution into a periodic table of life. The particles for learning lie everywhere in all inert media, waiting to be assembled (and often self-assembled) into something that surges and quivers.
Coevolution is a variety of learning. Stewart Brand wrote in CoEvolution Quarterly: "Ecology is a whole system, alright, but coevolution is a whole system in time. The health of it is forward-systemic self-education which feeds on constant imperfection. Ecology maintains. Coevolution learns."
Colearning might be a better term for what coevolving creatures do. Coteaching also works, for the participants in coevolution are both learning and teaching each other at the same time. (We don't have a word for learning and teaching at the same time, but our schooling would improve if we did.)"
Public Art
- In mexico, artists can pay tax through artworks - since 1957, artists can participate in a Pago en Especie (Payment in Kind) program. If an artist sells up to five pieces in one calendar year, the artist donates one of equal value to the state. If the artist sells six to eight pieces, the artist donates two. The sliding scale continues until an artist gives a maximum of six pieces. ‘Pay your taxes in artwork. Keep on painting.’ The art works are in government offices as well as public buildings.”A rotating committee of seven artists and curators evaluates proposed donations to see whether they fairly represent the body of work of a given artist. “More than evaluate the monetary value of a work, the experts decide if the work is representative of the artist’s oeuvre,” Lopez Beltran said.
