It shouldn't matter because your losses are treated as a deduction, if I'm understanding correctly.

It would be the exact same as buying and then selling on 12/31.

If you buy and don't sell, then you shouldn't pay taxes.

No it's every trade. Nothing to do with putting it in your bank account unfortunately

yes. This shite is gonna eat into my gains. So what is the point of trading if all of my gains from fluctuations is eaten up by taxes. Would I be better served just buying and never selling and only adding to my investment.



In a perfect world you'd be better off just adding to your position, but I feel like most in this thread are buying dips and selling surges to build up a stack without having to outlay additional USD.

So while your initial gains will be taxed, I think the goal is to be sitting on a huge stack down the road when this really blows up.

but by gains I feel as though that means depositing the usd back into my bank account. Taking the gains and reinvesting back into another crypto though is what I'm talking about


If I sell a stock but keep the proceeds in my TDAmeritrade account, it's still my cash and I'm going to be taxed on the capital gains, even if the money never sees my checking account. It doesn't matter where you actually have the money, all that matters is that you sold stock (or crypto) for USD.

Wash tax rule

quote:

The rule defines a wash sale as one that occurs when an individual sells or trades a security at a loss, and within 30 days before or after this sale, buys a “substantially identical” stock or security, or acquires a contract or option to do so

Ethereum volume has surpassed Bitcoin volume and Eth has broken free of following btc's ups and downs.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. It's kind of difficult to make losing trades though.

Am I able to deduct transaction fees?

First time I have sold in the morning to lock in gains and wait for the afternoon dip that never happened....

I have been sitting here just waiting for the right moment to jump in. Now I feel as if I should wait until the Asian market gets going. Surely there will be an eventual dip...

What is the reasoning behind a dip due to ETH being available on an Asian exchange? I figured that would lead to more buyers and drive the price up. Is there something I'm missing?

I think it's just wishful thinking.
