I came close to getting played by that dip. Wanted to sell some thinking it would go a little lower. So glad I have diamond hands.

All I know
quote:

According to the new Form 1040 draft, which the IRS released on Friday, if you only held crypto, but did not trade it, you can safely check the “no” box next to the form’s primary crypto question: At any time during 2020, did you receive, sell, send, exchange, or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?
So if all you did this year was sit on your crypto or transfer it between your own wallets without selling for fiat, you’re in the clear. 



quote:

And what constitutes sending between your wallets? ”Transfer between wallets means transferring funds in and out of exchanges for admin purposes,” Shehan Chandrasekara, Head of Tax Strategy at crypto accountancy software company CoinTracker, told Decrypt. 
quote:

But crypto wallets are anonymous, right? Alphanumeric strings. Say you “lost your keys” to the account that you just sold 1,000 Bitcoin to, and are trying to pass it off as a transfer instead of a sale. 
Said Chandrasekara: “The US has a voluntary tax system. You are expected to report income correctly by default. If you are audited, then you'll have to substantiate. In this case, you'll have to prove that you actually lost the keys.”

that was a buying opportunity of a lifetime.


March 2020....and right during the onset of the virus!
Maybe we are at the beginning of another 4X boom now?!?!?

If the big boys keep adding to the pot, it may happen, but I am worried about the FEDS regulating CRYPTO.

Time will tell.

I wonder how I get taxed on the interest earned from Celsius. Will I basically be tied twice once for receiving it and another for selling?

In theory yeah it should be taxed based on USD spot rate at time of interest earned and then capital gain/loss from that spot rate basis upon sale

Idea/thought/ramble:

Apple
Apple makes $1B every 4 days.
Apple position—> $1B is about 0.5% of cash holdings
Apple has been -RUMORed- to be making a $5B BTC purchase.
Apple has a phone in millions and millions of hands and top security and payment systems/teams

So. Buy More Apple? Buy more BTC? Could (gasp) Apple create an exchange that would be standard on Apple devices?

Not financial advice
