- Governments have yet to address all the ways crypto might be taxed, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has realized, and the amount of taxes not imposed or collected may reach well into the tens of billions of dollars. That insight does little to reduce the variety of challenges in taxing crypto, however.
Crypto’s “semi-anonymity,” its dual nature as an investment vehicle and a means of payment, and its high volatility complicate the tax collectors’ task beyond their current abilities, a new IMF working paper said. There is no consensus yet even on how to tax cryptocurrency — as income, capital gains (which is most common) or gambling — and it doesn’t help that tax systems were designed before the emergence of blockchain technology, which has spun out a range of assets that needs separate treatment. https://cointelegraph.com/news/imf-eyes-tens-of-billions-in-crypto-asset-taxes-has-few-suggestions-for-collecting-them

- <Your State Here> man
Awhile ago a meme told me to google "Florida man" followed by my birth month and day. So instead I used 10 random dates and every one of the searches came up with a laugh-out-loud headline in the first few results. My favorite: "Florida man arrested for trying to get alligator drunk."
So then I wondered if other states would return similar results, so I replaced "Florida" with five other states with the same dates each and the crimes reported there were (to my ear) not funny at all.
So why is that? Is it an editorial bias? Do Florida criminals prefer "funnier" crimes? Do Florida police focus on bizarre criminality?
In case you were wondering... The alligator was released back into the wild and also bit the man. So, justice was served. (by Bob Wescott) #meme #random #usa #america

- **Trust the process.**
It's definitely something I've struggled with ever since I started creating art. There's always a demon in the back of my head questioning my every decision, magnifying trivial imperfections and blow it out of proportion. It's so easy to lose sight of the big picture and forget what I wanted to accomplish at the beginning.
Shooting film has taught me that trusting the process is really all you can do.
There's no room for the critical voices to emerge and take over right away. To achieve the best result, you just have to apply your current knowledge as much as possible, focus on the moment, and capture your vision as is.
It was quite frustrating at first, not able to review my own creation and improve on the spot, but it also helped me build confidence in my creative ability. It might not be perfect every time, but I can make it happen, without repeated scrutiny.
**So to all the artists and creators out there, trust the process, and trust yourself, you can do it 🙂**
p.s. also my first time trying @wav3s.lens, let's see how that goes ☺️
