I think we can run this up to $1.50 Looking at the chart I think .06 is a sell wall. So I bought back in. For the record original buy in 2 SOL. I have pulled out 8 SOL. I bought back in for 2.5 SOL. Currently up 5.5 SOL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but a lot of people playing around with crypto don't realize this. Of course you could set up a self-directed Roth IRA and then day trade to your hearts content without any tax consequences.

If you think the 80,000 new IRS agents will be going after the rich, you are mistaken. 75,000 will be going over the crypto exchanges with a fine tooth comb. I just set up a Crypto Roth IRA using Alto Crypto IRA. Almost non-existent setup fees with access to over 200 coins. I think they hit you with a 1% fee on trades, but I buy and hold mostly. But the money can grow legally without tax consequences and I can avoid future taxes if I withdraw correctly. And if the market looks to tank I can move to the sidelines without a big tax hit.

A traditional Ira can provide the same tax deferred status along with a tax deduction. If needed. Otherwise, a ROTH will handle the tax situation perfectly assuming you aren’t Geek club rich. If you are, a backdoor Roth is the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I already have quite a bit of tax-defferred money in a 401k, i wanted to build something I could get tax-free withdrawals from. Gives me more flexibility to withdraw a good amount but keep my retirement tax rate low. Pay now or pay later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did not realize if I maxed out on my 401K that I am ineligible for a Roth, so I will have to back door it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Going after Crypto traders will probably be priority #1 for the 80,000 new gestopo IRS agents that the party of bootlickers just hired. people who day trade and know what they are doing won't get "bit" by tax laws. It's second nature for day or swing traders. Personally, on the occasions where I got "stuck" and had to hold longer than anticipated (im not a day trader by definition), then the closer it gets to 1 year brings that decision into play. Finally showing a good profit after 10 months? might as well hold on. I don't think a lack of knowledge in regards to short term capital gains tax has anything to do with crypto investors as much as it does the robinhood crowd... as Alias already mentioned. Although since crypto has a heavy amount of less educated fomo investors, might be a bit more of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peenie 1,690 Posted April 15 What's this about Bitcoin halving? Quote Cryptocurrencies: Bracing For The Halving The bitcoin economy moves toward a process it calls "the halving," a 50% cut in the rewards paid to the blockchain processors known as miners. The change, intended the slow the roll out of the currency's capped supply, is expected April 18 to 21. It is likely to pressure the price of bitcoin higher, eventually. Meanwhile, it could cause a shakeout among miners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,043 Posted April 15 Halving is when they cut the reward for mining in half. The prevailing thought appears to be that will slow down Bitcoin supply and thus drive prices higher. As usual. I and I alone have a different perspective in that the price should already reflect the theoretical maximum of 21M Bitcoin, so this should only discourage miners from operating. Previous halvings have been followed by price increases, though, so maybe people are just dumb and don't know that Bitcoin supply is capped already? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,043 Posted April 15 I guess if the perspective is miners introduce new Bitcoin and then immediately sell it on the market, the supply/demand thinking works, but I'd off that's not how markets work. The moment information is known it gets priced in. It's called the efficient market hypothesis. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Previous halvings have been followed by price increases, though, so maybe people are just dumb and don't know that Bitcoin supply is capped already? People are not being dumb. A capped supply along with increasing demand will drive the price up. Eventually that price increase will make mining profitable again. Crypto is the currency of the future, but there will be a ton of regulatory challenges to overcome, mainly from the all-powerful central banks and their reluctance to give up their printing presses and control of the economy. It is this uncertainty that causes massive fluctuations in the market. Crypto is hundreds of times more efficient than Fiat money and does not have the fatal flaw of relying on an endless growth in debt to maintain the system.
