The term Blockchain is used for
The underlying public ledger technology platform,
needed also for cryptocurrencies.
The term Smart Contract refers to
The scripting system on a public ledger, that instead of
just sending currency, sends contractual rights and
obligations - including the terms for payment and delivery
of goods and services - that can be automatically executed
by an autonomous system that’s trusted by all
signatories.
What is BlockChain?
Example: House Ledger
Even if 30% of title have errors, it is better than peer managed

Trading robots are software tools to replicate a well thought-out trading strategy
U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission’s
approved them in 2008.
The phrase “binary options”
now receives 110,000
monthly searches in Google,
only 20,000 less than “forex
trading”.
What Are The Trading BOTs?

Coinbase files forms 1099-K (i.e. PayPal ) for its US clients, not 1099-B(stocks)
In 2014, the IRS issued controversial guidance stating U.S. taxpayers should treat digital currencies as capital assets
Crypto Assets Taxation
We have to treat each purchase as a
capital sale.
If the value of the coin being spent has
gone up since he acquired it, he'd have
to report and pay tax on a gain.
(not true if you buy foreign currency)
Warning: In 2016, only 802 individual tax returns out of the 132 million filed electronically with the IRS reported income
related to cryptocurrencies.

  1. https://medium.com/@SingularDTV/whats-the-difference-between-an-ico-and-a-token-launch-7105edbb2112 Unspent Transaction Output, UTXO In the Bitcoin Blockchain. Managing two images visualizes the distribution of the unspent transaction outputs (UTXO) Each pixel represents a block, where each row is 300 blocks (~50 hours). The orange image displays the number of unspent transaction outputs per block, and the blue shows the combined value of those outputs. Ethereum is not designed specifically for financial transactions. Instead, it uses truth verification that powers cryptocurrency to create a platform for smart contracts between two parties. Third parties can choose to use the Ethereum network to implement financial transactions. Yet, the underlying contracts can be applied to several types of transactions. In fact, Ethereum has an entire programming language called Solidity that allows developers to leverage the Ethereum platform for their own smart, secure contracts. In the early days of Ethereum, it lacked serious traction. When prices were around $10 per ether (Ethereum’s coin), founder Vitalik Buterin sold a large amount of the Ethereum platform’s backing currency. This was the first “initial coin offering” (ICO.) From that event,  they raised around $18 million . This catalyzed a movement for several technologies to sell part of their coin supply to kick-start their blockchain projects. To date, technology built on the Ethereum platform has now raised more than a  billion dollars  through ICO events.
  2. On​ ​the​ ​extreme​ ​other​ ​end​ ​of​ ​the​ ​spectrum,​ ​extreme​ ​volatility​ ​has​ ​been​ ​the​ ​hallmark​ ​of​ ​BTC. With​ ​a​ ​standard​ ​deviation​ ​of​ ​4.36​ ​vs​ ​0.43​ ​for​ ​the​ ​index,​ ​BTC​ ​is​ ​​ten​ times ​ ​ ​more​ ​volatile​ ​than the​ ​S&P.​ ​​ ​Consider​ ​this;​ ​while​ ​the​ ​S&P​ ​appears​ ​unable​ ​to​ ​decline​ ​even​ ​a​ ​meager​ ​3%,​ ​this year​ ​only​ ​BTC​ ​had​ ​​five ​ ​ ​corrections​ ​greater​ ​than​ ​20%.​ ​Not​ ​an​ ​asset​ ​class​ ​for​ ​the​ ​faint​ ​of heart.​ ​​ ​Yet​ ​as​ ​adoption​ ​starts​ ​to​ ​grow,​ ​volatility​ ​is​ ​also​ ​appearing​ ​to​ ​subside​ ​and​ ​it​ ​is​ ​now about​ ​one​ ​fourth​ ​of​ ​what​ ​it​ ​was​ ​in​ ​back​ ​in​ ​2010-11.​ ​What​ ​is​ ​driving​ ​such​ ​extreme​ ​volatility? The​ ​extreme​ ​gap​ ​between​ ​demand​ ​and​ ​supply,​ ​mathematically​ ​metered​ ​in​ ​a​ ​deflationary progression,​ ​is​ ​responsible​ ​for​ ​BTC’s​ ​torrid​ ​appreciation.​ ​However,​ ​due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​lack​ ​of​ ​any valuation​ ​benchmark​ ​and​ ​the​ ​novelty​ ​of​ ​the​ ​instrument,​ ​price​ ​is​ ​being​ ​“discovered”​ ​in​ ​a step-function.
  3. Smart contracts in a public ledger system are a predicate-- Bitcoin's creator understood this. They take input-- about the transaction, and perhaps the chain-- and they accept or reject the update to the system.   The network of thousands of nodes all around the world doesn't give a _darn_ about the particulars of the computation,  they care only that it was accepted.  The transaction is free to provide arbitrary side information to help it make its decision. Deciding if an arbitrarily complex condition was met doesn't require a turing complete language or what not-- the verification of a is in P not NP. In Bitcoin Script, we do use straight up 'computation' to answer these questions; because that is the simplest thing to do, and for trivial rule sets, acceptably efficient.  But when we think about complex rule-- having thousands and thousands of computers all around the world replicate the exact same computation becomes obviously ludicrous, it just doesn't scale. Fortunately, we're not limited to the non-scalablity-- and non-privacy-- of making the public network repeat computation just to verify it.  All we have to do is reconize that computation wasn't what we were doing from the very beginning, verification was! This immediately gives a number of radical improvements: "The program is big and I don't want to have to put it in the blockchain in advance." ->  P2SH, hash of the program goes into the public key, the program itself ends up being side information. "The program is big but we're only going to normally use one Nth of it-- the branches related to everything going right"  -> MAST, the program is decomposed into a tree of ORs ans the tree is merkelized. Only the taken OR branches ever need to be made public; most of the program is never published which saves capacity and improves confidentiality. "The program is big, and there are fixed number of parties to the contract. They'll likely cooperate so long as the threat of the program execution exists."  -> Coinswap transformation; the entire contract stays outside of the blockchain entirely so long as the parties cooperate. "The program is big, and there are fixed number of parties to the contract, and I don't care if everything just gets put back to the beginning if things fail." -> ZKCP; run _arbitrary_  programs, which _never_ hit the blockchain,  and are not limited by its expressive power (so long as it supports hash-locked transactions and refunds.) "The program is kinda big, and we don't mind economic incentives for enforcement in the non-cooperative case"  -> challenge/response verification; someone says "I assert this contract accepts," and puts up a bond. If someone disagrees, they show up and put up a bond to say it doesn't. Now the first party has to prove it (e.g. but putting the contract on the chain) or they lose their bond to the second party, if they're successful they get the bond from the second party to pay the cost of revealing the contract. "The program is too big for the chain, but I don't want to depend on economic incentives and I want my contract to be private." ->  ZKP smart contracts; PCP theorem proves that a program can be proved probabilisticly with no more data than log the size of its transcript.  SNARKS use strong cryptographic assumptions to get non-interactive proofs for arbitrary programs which are constant size (a few hundred bytes). Slowness of the prover (and in the case of snarks, trusted setup of the public key-- though for fixed sets of participants, this can be avoided) limit the usefulness today but the tech is maturing. All of these radical improvements in scalablity, privacy, and flexibility show up when you realize that "turing complete" is the wrong tool, that what our systems do is verification, not computation.  This cognitive error confers no advantage, outside of marketing to people with a fuzzy idea of what smart contracts might be good for in the first place. More powerful smart contracting in the world of Bitcoin will absolutely be a thing, I don't doubt. But the marketing blather around ethereum isn't power, it's a boat anchor-- a vector for consensus inconsistency and decentralization destroying resource exhaustion and incentives mismatches. Fortunately, the cognitive framework I've described here is well understood in the community of Bitcoin experts.
