Guys, there are very few "paper certificates" left in the system. It is "book entry" for the most part.

you missed my point First of all, certificates went out about 15 yrs ago. 2nd, manage your cash flow anyway you want. But, if you think BTC is solving some great liquidity problem that allows you to take a "fully paid vacation" you are giving BTC credit for solving problems that don't...

so to try and clarify... if you make over 1mm I think you still bear the full brunt of AMT. if you are between 200-500 you get a break on AMT under the new plan. But, I am not an accountant..blah blah blah.

Let me think...if I owned any other speculative, over hyped bubble vehicle with no underlying fundamental value would I be relaxed ?

I believe in the block chain technology and by extension even crypto. Why one would hold an early generation version (of anything) for 5 years is beyond me. My holdings in this regard are companies in this arena where hopefully the management will adapt moving forward, not hold a instrument...
