Tax Question (USA)
I have a question for a friend who got involved with crypto a few years ago but completely ignored my advice on keeping track and logging taxable events.
As it stands now, he holds only Bitcoin but a pretty nice stash (well into double digits). He is talking about retiring if the price does what many of us think it will, and I finally confronted him on taxes. As it turns out, he bought most of his Bitcoin on Coinbase and Gemini a few years ago, along with some Litecoin and Ether. He traded the Litecoin and Ether in 2018 for Bitcoin using ShapeShift or Changely or some other service like that. He didn't keep track of it and did not report the trades on his taxes. He says he didn't have to because the price of the LTC and ETH were lower when he traded them than what he bought them for.
So the problem is that now he has several Bitcoin in his Ledger wallet that he cannot associate with a buy on Coinbase. Most of his Bitcoin he can associate with lots for tax reporting, but there are a few left over due to the trades that he did. He is finally starting to plan his exit, and he is freaking out about taxes now that I finally got it through his thick head how this all works.
So what should he do to fix this? When he sells some BTC, can he just use a cost basis of $0 from the few BTC he has leftover and use an arbitrary date in 2018 close to when he sold the LTC/ETH and pay taxes on the full amount as a long-term gain? Can he just comment that it was from undocumented trades? Is this likely to trigger an audit? He wants to be honest now to "not jeopardize his Lambo" or end up in jail. Can he plead ignorance here and avoid penalties?
I helped him download all of his transactions from Coinbase and Gemini and put them in a spreadsheet. He hasn't sold any Bitcoin ever, which is awesome because he bought some when it was under $1,000! When I sum the column for the BTC buys, it is short a few BTC compared to what he has stored in his Ledger, and I just don't know what to tell him.
I suggested that he use the unaccounted for balance first when he finally starts selling to get that out of the way as soon as possible. That way when the price of BTC goes even higher, and he sells larger amounts, those higher values will be tracked better to actual buys on exchanges and hold up better in the event of an audit. But how should he report it? You are supposed to have dates for when it was acquired along with the cost basis, which he doesn't have.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

If you want to know the truth about the 2020 US Election, then this is the article you must read.
Donald Trump lost because he was given 4 years but cannot do anything, that’s why no matter how the real voting result turn out, it was still not enough.
The US Millitary and leaders are bunch of stupid people, they was treating the US 2020 Election like an auction or want to make more attention.
The USA is not running like a nation because they have no power to “print” money to solve any problems around economic.
The USA are having bunch of idiots who do not even have gut to talk about new international financial system at public. Many of them still scare of gold holders, some are still thinking about energy power, title grab, etc. They do not want to change because most of them are corrupt people !
The USA people last hope is me the savior Messiah Buddha.
If you want a leader can lead you to final victory, to overcome all kind of deities/gods in other nations, to able have their own financial system where you can print money at will and have a same fair game with other nations, then all you need to do is “gambling” and have faith in me.
All you need to do now is making some donation to me first, then I will tell you what the move/strategy you should make to win the battle.

The Fundamental Case for Silver - Courtesy of BI (DD)
Bitcoin May Help Silver Outperform Gold Toward $50 Resistance
(Bloomberg Intelligence) -- Silver started February with a distracting spike toward $30 an ounce that quickly reversed, but we see the path of least resistance remaining upward. Rapidly advancing technology and clean-energy trends are tailwinds for the best conductor of electricity, notably vs. gold -- which is facing competition from Bitcoin. (02/05/21)
- Electrification and the Best Conductor -- Silver
Silver Appears Low to Companions Gold, Copper
Akin to the aftermath of the 2008 swoon, we see the 2020 silver price low as a similar flush that cleansed the market for new highs. Uniquely industrial and precious, the white metal is well positioned to sustain its two-year status as one of the best performing commodities, up about 70% to Feb. 4. Our graphic depicts silver likely building a base for advancement in the $24-$30 an ounce range. The 20-month moving average at about $20 has turned decidedly upward and represents an extreme downside level in the event of a global risk-off plunge akin to 1Q20.
Record gold prices in 2020 and eight-year highs in copper at the start of 2021 are companions for advancing silver. The best conductor of electricity in a world of accelerating electrification, decarbonization and digitalization has strong tailwinds for an rising price. (02/05/21)
- Advancing Technology Buoys Silver vs. Gold
Bitcoin Taking Gold Luster, Silver Set to Shine
Silver prices may have a more lustrous future than gold, which is facing rising competition from Bitcoin. In a world going digital, it's becoming prudent for old-guard gold allocators to shift a portion of investable assets toward the benchmark cryptocurrency, notably to cover risks of Bitcoin becoming a reserve asset. Our graphic depicts the gold-to-silver cross rate at about 68 and back near its 20-year mean. Past patterns of reverting from spikes in the cross rate have been beneficial for the silver price.
What's different this time adds to the white metal's advancement potential. Clean-energy technology and electrification mean demand for silver and the metal appears in early days of recovering from an extended bear market. Low prices have reduced investment in production. About 10-12% of silver supply is used for solar. (02/05/21)

- Silver Squeeze Unlikely to Get $50, But Demand vs. Supply Might
Silver has among the highest prospects vs. the major metals to add to last year's gains, in our view. Unlike gold, demand for the white precious metal is about 50% industrial, which may place it in a unique position among favorable macroeconomic underpinnings and accelerating trends in electrification and decarbonization. The most efficient conductor of electricity is also a very deep market, with established futures and ETF trading, on the back of the physical market going back thousands of years. Our graphic shows silver futures managed-money positions about 23% net long, indicating a short squeeze is out of the question.
It was near the depths of the bear market in 2018-19 that hedge funds were last net-short silver. We see silver as simply following gold's trajectory to new highs, which is about $50 an ounce. (01/29/21)
- 10x Bitcoin-to-Gold Bull-Market Inflection Point
Bitcoin's potential to become a reserve asset in a world going digital is a prime price support. In addition to the fact that traditionally focused gold allocators are at increasing risk if Bitcoin succeeds, there's ample evidence of funds moving to the crypto from the metal. Our graphic depicts accelerating flows into Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) as they decline in total known ETF holdings of gold. At almost 700,000 Bitcoins, GBTC is reaching record highs, while gold ETFs have dropped to about 107 million ounces from the October peak just above 111 million.
In dollar terms, GBTC at around $22 billion is about 10% of the $210 billion tracking-gold ETFs (Feb. 2). At the start of 2020, the GBTC market cap was closer to 1% of gold. GBTC is the largest Bitcoin tracker. (02/03/21)
- Silver in Deficit on Demand Recovery, Less Supply
Investor's silver appetite may improve in 2021, with demand set to be dominated by industrial applications -- usually topping purchases. The decline in 2020 volume is a reflection of coronavirus-led supply-chain disruptions, with jewelry demand potentially recovering in 2H. Mined output probably fell 5% year-over-year to 798 million ounces in 2020, with a 0.3% drop in recycling volume to 169 million ounces, based on Metals Focus data, with the supply side hit by the pandemic.
Global silver demand (including exchange-traded products) in 2020 could more than offset supply contraction, in our view. Metals Focus forecasts another deficit year at 105 million ounces. Total 2020 investment demand (physical plus ETPs) may have peaked at 336 million ounces, up 25% vs. 2019, pushing global silver needs toward 1.1 billion ounces. (02/01/21)
Why we won't get another 2018 crypto crash
While corrections will undoubtly occur, I don't think Crypto is going to experience another Crypto crash of magnitude that we witnessed in 2018 - followed by Crypto winter. Here are my arguments:
1) In 2017, Crypto marget cap surged mainly because of individual retail investors whereas nowadays there are more and more institutions using Bitcoin as a store of value. Institutional interest will only grow. Institutions aren't as likely to sell all their assets on a day to day basis.
2) Crypto is alive. When the market crashed, people feared that Crypto is just a failed project at this point, burst bubble. As we can see though, Crypto is back and stronger than before. This means that it's likely to come back again (and possibly stronger) in event of market crashing - which will encourage many investors to take the risk, hold and not sell. This will significantly dampen the magnitude of a crash.
3) January 10, 2021. After Bitcoin reached impressive ATH over 40K USD it dropped as low as 30K in the next 48 hours. That's 30 % drop. At that point, many investors (including me) panic sold their position in fear of 2018 repeating itself. A month later Bitcoin is almost back at the ATH level while many other Cryptos recorded impressive ATHs. Bitcoin managed to stay around the 30K mark (thank you Michael Saylor and Grayscale) while redistributing holdings from retail investors to institutions. This will further increase market stability.
That's why I'm optimistic about the future and don't expect another major crash. I don't even think Bitcoin is going back to 30K, ever - only in the event of some crazy worldwide crypto regulations.
Of course, cryptocurrency market is anything but predictable - but in the event of market crashing once more, investors can look back at past "ressurections" and rest assured that crypto is here to stay.
I'm curious about your opinions, I'm no financial consultant or anything - just wanted to share my point of view.
Bitcoin was never meant to be a peer to peer cash.
Bitcoin is a not a p2p cash it is a new world reserve currency. Let me tell you why..
So I've been thinking lately about bitcoin and money and where the world is going and all that stuff. And I went back in time to 2017ish where there was a lot of debate about performance of bitcoin as a p2p cash and how it was lacking in that department, the debates on what it is and several different camps of opinions all trying to grasp it the best way they could.
The more I see how things are evolving and one day I was thinking and it hit me - bitcoin was never meant to be a p2p cash and that was Satoshi's intention all along.
Bitcoin came to be at the time when the world was trying to recover from a financial crisis as a response to it. Yes it was quoted as "peer to peer electronic cash" in the WP, but the more I think about it, I'm starting to think that perhaps Satoshi's genius extends even further.
Just think about it - if somebody came up with an idea and called it "the new world reserve currency" it wouldn't catch interest of any normal person or a nerd. Perhaps some finance person but I doubt it, they would have laughed it off as they would lack the capacity and imagination to understand the value of this invention. AND if it was promoted as something "rare" and something to be "kept" bitcoin would have never spread as everyone would try to hoard is from the start which would have hindered it's adoption greatly and perhaps even prevented it from taking off the way it did and in time to perhaps come save us in the next crisis.
Perhaps even the high fees were/are a blessing in disguise, making people think twice before sending as to maybe help them hold onto whatever fragments they own as by that time its true value have begun to show.
And last but not least - the message imbedded in the Genesis Block says it all. It clearly points to the major fuck up that has happened and the subsequent events that have unfolded including further devaluation of the dollar.
It is said that the lifespan of a reserve currency extends to about 100 years, and that means that the grim reaper is getting ready to come for the dollar and take it to the other side... we are due for a replacement and the replacement is right here.
Satoshi must have been wise beyond any living soul to even disappear without a trace in time. Imagine being THE person to dethrone THE dollar with your invention, the god and the devil in one person, perhaps he whoever he is was would already been jailed or murdered. Imagine the predicament when bitcoin takes its place as a reserve currency as well as having the keys to the original wallet... I am certain there will be statues of Satoshi all over the world, one day worshiped like a god with religion in the true sense of the word.
The true flippening is on the horizon.....and I guess in retrospect, it was inevitable.
Taxes Canada
Is it true if you only buy bitcoin it is not taxed
However if you trade bitcoin or cash it, it is a taxable event?
Lendefi founder Robin Dey is a convicted killer and involved in several fraudulent investment schemes.
Lendefi founder Robin Dey charged with murder and involved in several fraudulent investment schemes.
Robin Dey and Simon (view article) were charged with murder, for killing a former boyfriend of Simon's sister, Tyrone Shepherd, on June 26, 2007. Simon and Robin Dey had known each other since their days at a prestigious Melbourne boys school, Carey Grammar, but their friendship ended after they turned on each other. Simon, 27 and Dey, 25, each blamed the other for stabbing 36-year-old Tyrone David Shepherd, of Glen Waverley, outside his ex-girlfriend Sarah Kell's house at Ashwood in June 2007. A Victorian Supreme Court jury could not determine who dealt the fatal blow and Justice Lex Lasry held them equally culpable, sentencing them both on Thursday to 10 years' prison with a minimum of seven years. Simon and Dey, both of Camberwell, pleaded not guilty to murder but were found guilty of manslaughter.

Robin Dey’s 1st Known Fraudulent Business Scheme – New Dawn Fund
In May, 2018, Robin Dey released several press releases and began illegally raising funds for his company – New Dawn Fund.

https://www.medianet.com.au/releases/161398/
This company was quickly issued a stop order from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) for:
• the use of misleading or deceptive statements in sales and marketing materials;
• operating an illegal unregistered managed investment scheme (MIS);
• not holding an Australian financial services license.
On 13 September 2018, ASIC issued a final stop order on a Product Disclosure Statement issued by Investors Exchange Limited (IEL) for units in the New Dawn Fund (Fund). The Fund was proposing to invest in a range of cryptocurrency assets. Following ASIC raising concerns about the PDS, IEL consented to a final stop order so that no units could be obtained under the PDS. ASIC acknowledges the co-operative approach taken by IEL in responding to ASIC’s concerns.
Robin Dey’s 2nd Known Fraudulent Business Scheme – Malta Digital Exchange
The Malta Digital Exchange website and connection to all of these men have been conveniently removed from the internet and their LinkedIn profiles. Luckily the Google Wayback machine can provide snapshots of this now-deleted website.
https://web.archive.org/web/20190225164600/https:/www.maltadx.com/
Noteworthy facts: Most of these men were connected to New Dawn Fund which was shut down by ASIC for the reasons mentioned previously.
https://www.medianet.com.au/releases/161398/
A full in-depth timeline of events related to the Malta DX scam including screenshots, emails, and recordings can be seen here - https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0ee5hnx92dz7ca/TIMELINE%20OF%20EVENTS%20Adam%20March%202019%20-%20Google%20Docs.pdf?dl=0
Some noteworthy facts:
• In June of 2018 Robin Dey spearheaded the capital raising for Malta DX and provided investors with the following information memorandum promising 63X returns - https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6nbay94wv8p2p0/69852_MDX%20-%20Information%20Memorandum%20-%20v1.1.pdf?dl=0
• This capital raising process breached the same rules that New Dawn Fund were shut down by ASIC for including misleading statements, operating illegally without a financial services license, and targeting unqualified investors. They targeted amateur crypto currency traders.
• Dey, Schultz, and Klink lied to seed investors and claimed to of secured a partnership with the Malta Stock Exchange and also claimed to have an investor who was going to purchase the entire €1 million euro seed round but they could still make an exception if one acted quickly. It turns out the seed round was never actually closed and no partnership with the Malta Stock Exchange ever existed.
• After securing seed capital a new PPM was created and withheld from seed investors. This new PPM reduced seed investor shareholdings by 97%. Seed investors were then encouraged to convert their seed investment loan into shares under these new undisclosed terms and were told they were signing KYC/AML documents. https://www.dropbox.com/s/iea7mm4jdp5k21k/MDX%20Private%20Placement%20Memorandum.pdf?dl=0
• When a seed investor discovered this fraud and the Malta DX team was confronted Robin Dey began harassing and threatening this individual insisting he drop the matter or face defamation charges, arrest, and deportation. He then went on to try and extort and blackmail this individual agreeing to not have the individual charged and arrested in exchange for $20,000 worth of Bitcoin. This was captured on audio recording along with screenshots of his attacks on various social media platforms. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j9393ye01w6l8ty/AABWJ5W0t7jNYi3djFy1Rccra?dl=0
Robin Dey’s 3rd Known Fraudulent Business Scheme – Hempcorp.in
After the Malta DX scandal Robin Dey moved to India and started https://www.hempcorp.in/ Press releases were sent out claiming to of secured a 10,000-acre site to create the world's largest hemp plantation.
https://www.prnewswire.com/in/news-releases/hempcorp-s-10-000-acre-plantation-860011525.html
https://www.mikesmedicines.com/medical-marijuana/10000-acres-of-hemp-hempcorps-india-plantation-is-underway/
This claim turned out to be untrue and no site was ever secured or cultivation license granted. He portrayed himself as an industry expert and once again tried to raise funds from cryptocurrency traders. When investment was denied and he was confronted he once again attacked and harassed those individuals.
Thank you for taking your time to review this information. After warning some of the Lendefi investors I have been viciously attacked by an “anonymous” individual who has created a fake website and made false claims against me.
This individual has spammed my social media accounts, contacted my friends, family, and business associates with the objective of damaging my reputation.
He has also threatened the businesses of my friends and family and warned them that “if I do not stop he will harm their businesses”.
It is fairly obvious who this individual might be and although I do regret him attacking my friends and family I will gladly suffer his abuse if I can protect one person from going through the financial losses and mental anguish that I have suffered.

The product of my time
When I woke up, oblivious about my 24th birthday, the day had gone by as another reason why God should finally end my miserable life by tragic accident. The only way I knew I've turned 24 was when my mom texted "Happy Birthday!" When I realized I've lived 24 years, it hit me.
I wasted 5 years of my life to get a worthless degree.
I am $50k in debt for said degree.
I have been unemployed for a year.
I hated the jobs I've occupied
I don't have any skills
I would have to get a low-paying entry-level job
I would never be able to enjoy life with said job
I am told bUt iT iS bEtTeR fOr YoUr fUtUre!
I notice how the middle-aged people who tell me this are in debt themselves with no savings
I notice how the people telling me to work are fat, boring and miserable themselves
I heard, FFS, my 80-year old grandmother tell me that working into her 70's was a mistake
I notice the people with success have exceptional qualities which I don't posses
I notice the people with success have unique upbringings which I did not have
I get see God smiling on other people while giving me the finger
I get to be told how I am a white privileged male
I get to eat shit for being white with none of positives because I'm Turkish-Slav who looks white
I get to listen to my grandparents tell me what a fuck-up I am
I get to listen to my parents tell me what a fuck-up I am
I get to listen to my younger brother tell me what a fuck-up I am
I get to listen to other people not interreacting with me as a silent way of saying what a fuck-up I am
I get to shut up, work hard, eat shit, pay my taxes and die early, forgotten with no family or money
I get to give all of my money I've earned to my parents who spend it on fuck-all
I get to see young people making bank working in the career field I got a degree for
I get to look for low-end career field jobs and still not get any
I get to be told that ANY job at this point will do
I, get this, am told that suicide is not an option since things will be better... for years now!
I get to be one of the countless people screwed over by the plights of their time
I'd be the one who lost everything during the Great Depression
I'd get polio, right before the vaccine was released
I'd end up in the front lines of a war after being conscripted against my will
I'd get killed by the Red Army after being labelled as a "Kulak"
I'd die of diabetes, just before insulin was first produced
I'd get lynched had I been black during Jim Crow
I'd be the one who survives WW1, then see all of my children die in WW2
I am antithetical to the Bitcoin millionaire, the teen whiz kid startup founder, the GME retard with diamond hands, the model citizen getting a six-figure job straight out of college, the people happy with their jobs, families, lives and themselves.
No, I am just another number which feeds a negative statistic from a soon-to-be bygone era.
I am a product of my time, so unfortunate that the events and happenings around me define and change who I am in a negative light.
There is nothing I regret and I owe nothing to anyone. My existence is a sad insult to a life of failure, I only am, to warn those who can.
