A 20% return is crazy high if you get that consistently every year. On a 50K investment with a return of 20% in 25 years…. without adding more in you end up with $ 4.76Mill.

Every other coin relies on volunteer nodes to maintain their networks. In other words, people run the servers from their own computers on their own dime. As more people use these coins, the price of running these computers goes up, this leads to congestion and high fees. Dash is the only coin with fully paid full nodes called Masternodes.

Also, bear in mind that if you want to swap back into dollars, there are "stablecoins" that mimic the US dollar on a (usually extremely close) 1:1 basis. I would use USDC, personally. I would not use USDT (aka Tether.) The advantage of this is that you are not creating a taxable event, as you would if you sold your holdings on an exchange for actual dollars. You can keep stablecoins in a load of different wallets. I use Atomic Wallet, which also allows a wide range of swapping as a built-in feature. Holy crap, I was wondering about this exact thing yesterday and meant to learn about it but it had slipped my mind today. You must have read my mind! Thank you! Not good tax advice. There is no 1031 exchange for crypto, only real estate gets that. Thanks, Trump!! Anytime you trade out a crypto coin for another, it's a taxable event. Even sending a coin and generating a UTXO could be interpreted as a tax event. One way I've seen to not have a taxable event would be to give someone a private key. It would only be taxable once the recipient sends it, however, they would have to trust you not to "double spend" the key. When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life. Don't be afraid. |

This is completely untrue and if any newbie is reading this you better do your homework. ANY transaction between coins (even stable coins) is a taxable event. The IRS will look at going into a stable coin as though you cashed out to USD and you will owe taxes on that (even though you don't have USD) if the place you did the exchange reports to the IRS. At this point in time I believe the level of transactions in a year for US citizens is $10,000 (it was $20,000). Once you go over that, everything you do gets reported on a US registered exchange. Why do you think they went after Binance? If you go from BTC to ETH and back again that is two reportable transactions, regardless of the coins you transact in. People have gotten buried by the IRS by selling BTC when it ran up to $20K and then went into other coins. By the end of that year the market had tanked, but they still owed the tax for earlier transaction. Also, you can only deduct $3k of losses per year, so another thing to be aware of. As for everyone spending with their credit cards, be careful. I haven't done research on it, but I'm not sure if those exchanges offering those report or not. You could spend $15K on gold coins, but IRS might say you owe capital gains on the crypto when you sold it to buy the coins. It's all about the reporting structure.

As for everyon spending with their credit cards, be careful. I haven't done research on it, but I'm not sure if those exchanges offering those report or not. You could spend $15K on gold coins, but IRS might say you owe capital gains on the crypto when you sold it to buy the coins. It's all about the reporting structure. It would be stupid to use a regulated exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini etc.) to swap into stablecoins. Why would you, when it can be done inside a wallet (Atomic Wallet, for instance) or via an online swap facility that doesn't use KYC/AML? When in crypto world, you really want to stay in crypto world as far as possible. Avoid bankster world and taxman world. |
