It was reported that Tesla hasn’t sold any of their BTC

It was also reported Tesla made a significant profit solely because of BTC

I just realized something isn’t adding up


My understanding was that their last quarters numbers looked really impressive, largely because of the BTC run up.

yeh my question is did they report “profit” or just good valuation numbers?

someone was saying awhile ago “Tesla made more money off btc than they ever did cars” which implies profit

They sold some, not all. Then the tweet indicated they won't be selling the remaining.

he's def setting this up for his solar panel company.

Using his panels for energy to mine BTC.

Not a bad move for him and his solar company. Free advertisement

So Elon buys a bunch of BTC. Tweets. BTC goes up

He then bitches about how BTC is not green enough

Sells some of his BTC and BTC hits a very low price.

Elon builds solar panels off profits, for multiple purposes (which was probably in his plans all along) and is now ready to mine BTC.

He now tweets about BTC and probably will again in anticipation of rising the price of BTC. All the while he mines away. $$$

Currently several hundred thousand. For now

But anyway, what is the most efficient way to move the money to say coinbase without losing a fortune between the exchange/gas, slippage, etc. And at what point does the IRS get involved? Only when it gets converted to fiat?

Any time you turn a token into something else is taxable. It doesn’t have to be into fiat.

anyone read up on the Tether FUD and formulated a response? JP Morgan essentially out out a report saying they are ill equipped to convert Tether to USD due to how they’ve allocated the dollars backing the USDT, or something to that effect

People love to bag on Tether

So it's a taxable event at each step? xxx > btc/eth > usd? How does that work. You self report at each conversion?

Just keep track of it.

If you buy btc at $10 and then it rises to $15, and then you buy eth with it, the IRS views it as you “selling” the btc to buy the eth.

So you would be taxed for capital gains on $5 profit.

If you take a coin you made a profit it and trade it for a others coin and take a bath, be sure to “sell” it and rebuy it before the year is over so you don’t owe taxes on profit you didn’t actually get to keep.

Moved my yield farms to Polygon/Matic. It's good stuff. I took a beating on gas from ETH to bridge it over, but now I feel like I can maximize yield farms with zapper.fi without gas eating all of my profits. To be fair, can do (and have done) this on BSC also, but Matic is even cheaper.

Zapper.fi will show me the highest ROI LPs on major exchanges (Sushiswap tends to be the highest) to stake in and keep track of where my money is when it's staked in LPs. Because gas is so cheap on Matic, I can move my money around for next to nothing and just continuously find the best yields. I'm sure taxes will eat my lunch with all of the exchanging.

Just sell everything at the end of the year after it crashes and rebuy it in 30 seconds and tell the irs to pound sand.

Will be interesting to see if the Dems actually pass tax changes before yearend considering next year would be tough with midterms

Not sure I’d raise taxes on people with only a tiebreaker majority in 2022

does it matter if you're in the hole whether you sell or not?
