Discounted Starbucks gift cards!!!

You and I both know that we always wait for the $10 Starbucks gift card on 50% Groupon deal! Heck, I don’t drink coffee and I still buy the 50% Groupon deal no matter what. Why? Sigh… yes.. for my wife. hehe…

After that deal is gone, well, we have no choice but to purchase full price Starbucks gift card. Doesn’t that make you feel that you can’t buy the gift card full price without loss of consciousness?!

So, I did some search, and I recently came across a website that has about 13% to 14% discounted Starbucks gift cards. Not the best 50% Groupon deal but, hey, I don’t have to lose my consciousness to purchase it! It’s called Gift Card Granny. Time to time, the discount shoots above 15% but those offers disappear very quickly. I have been using this site for purchasing gift cards for Overstock.com with up to 40% discounted price. Those of you who have been following, I just bought a new house so I do need furniture that Gift Card Granny has been a good deal maker! Give it a try! =]

Overstock.com CEO owns millions in bitcoin?

Overstock started to accept bitcoin back in late Dec. Now, they are announcing over million dollar worth of bitcoins. It sounds to me that other vendors would be attracted to this. Yet, price of bitcoin hasn’t increased much. I think it’s probably due to the IRS issue. IRS knows that there are tons of taxes to be collected as soon as cryptocurrencies are under regulation. Well, according to the 16th amendment, that is, if I understood correct, investment income is taxable. So, from the congress point of view, all they need to do is just set a few laws that coordinates to the cryptocurrencies and require income tax for any earnings. Now, hardest part is the tracking incomes from all the anonymous transactions. hum…
Better part among all this is that Overstock is considering about accepting altcoins if they can be received “risk-free”. Sounds like litecoin to me!

뉴스에의하면 overstock.com 이 몇백만불에 달하는 빗코인을 가지고 있다고 하네요. 여러 온라인 판매자들이 주시하는 가운데 이런 뉴스가 나오면 더 많은 판매자들이 빗코인을 지불 방법으로 고려하지 않을까 싶네요. 우리에게는 좋은 뉴스 같습니다.
더더욱 기대가 되는건 빗코인외에도 다른 알트코인도 고려중이라 하네요. 지불 방법만 “확실해 진다면”. 음… 라잇코인을 주시하는게 아닌가 싶네요 ㅎㅎㅎ

반면 미국은 코인관련 소득세를 고려중이라 하네요. 특히 초반에 시작했던 사람들은 빗코인이 $5일때부터 지금까지 가지고 있는 사람들이 여럿 있을텐데 미국에서는 소득세를 약 30% 땝니다. ㅡㅡ;;; 그분들에게는 적지않은 액수 일텐데요. 나중에는 채굴자들까지 들먹이지 않을까 싶네요. 아직은 시작 단계이니 법으로 적용되기까지는 시간이 적지않게 걸리리라 생각합니다.
