A friendly advice who's been here, done this. :)

Rule number 1 : Never cut the loss if the only reason you want to sell is the decreasing market price.

​

Short term market price is determined by supply and demand of shares. And there could be so many reasons for selling, which could be unrelated to the company fundamentals and long-term perspectives, such as new stock offering from the firm, some guys getting margin called, some people wanting to make cash to buy bitcoin, some hedge fund managers taking short position anticipating more incoming block sales from other hedge funds, et cetera.

​

Only cut the loss when there is an unforeseen event or news that permanently damages the business and the stock's value so much that your previous "undervaluation thesis" is broken.

​

Otherwise, just wait it out. No one knows when an under-priced stock goes back up, not me, not you, not Warren Buffet, not Carl Icahn, no one.

One can only know (without a 100% certainty) a company's stock could be undervalued if there are reasonable causes. In this case, shares worth billions were sold off thanks to a guy with 4-500% margin, and additional huge amount of shares are shorted.

This is clearly a case for a strong rebound of the stock price at some point in the future. The shorts will cover at some point, and we have a 100 million buy orders GUARANTEED. Also, once the market confirms that the shorts are covering, then all the buyers will come in, so the amount of buy order will be far much more than 100 million. (just don't know how much)

​

Therefore, it might not be smart to sell as soon as the stock price is just a little recovered...You'd be far better off by postponing the sale of your shares "until the amount of shares shorted are virtually gone".

​

We just don't know when it is going to happen...It could happen next week, next month, or even next year.

​

Just be patient!! Like everything in the world, buying undervalued stock and making money TAKES TIME.

​

Cheers,

Just about a month ago one JPG file got sold for nearly $70 million. You must have wondered what was so unique about it? Its uniqueness was its authenticity, that it was original. Made by digital artist Mike Winkelmann, known as Beeple, called ‘Everydays: The First 5000 Days’, the piece comprises the 5,000 pieces of digital artworks that he made previously over a span of 13 and half years.

The jpg was auctioned online and it was made possible through first minting NFTs or Non Fungible Tokens of the image. Non Fungible Tokens are unique tokens very limited in number for each asset object, the lesser the NFTs for each object the lesser would be the owners for the same. Eg: a limited edition music release can have only 10 NFTs per album signifying a maximum of 10 different owners of the same. The rights of the album would lie with the people owning the NFT. On the other hand, a house may have only 1 NFT. No. of NFT per object is defined by the creator of NFT.

NFT are units of data stored on a blockchain, hence certifying the asset to be unique and not interchangeable. A variety of real-world objects/assets such as photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files can be minted as NFTs. NFTs are digital receipts of a physical asset, NFTs define authentic ownership of the object. Hence when ownership of an object exchanges hands, it becomes more authentic if NFTs are also exchanged.

Bitcoin, the largest and by far the most widely used cryptocurrency does not offer support for complex smart contracts. Moreover, simple contracts that can be executed on Bitcoin are often cumbersome to design and very costly to execute. Blockstack has solved this by introducing PoX based Smart Contracts. With Stacks its now possible to mint NFT on Bitcoin. 

Applications and possibilities are limitless: NFTs on STX can be used to: sell a wide range of virtual collectibles from varied sports eg: virtual trading cards, music, digital images, video clips, admit passes to events, ownership rights to cars, ownership rights to houses, flight tickets, education degrees, etc.

Lessons from cryptocurrency related tax rulings

There are no Belgian laws specifically discussing the taxation of crypto-assets. The taxation is similar to other assets without specific legal rules: the profits of individuals can be tax free if normal management of private assets as good house father, or 33% taxed as miscellaneous income for speculative behavior, or up to 50% progressive tax as regular income for professional activities.

Which category is applied in which context, leaves room for a lot of interpretation.

There are 13 cryptocurrency related tax rulings published. 11 of the 13 - the 11 most recent ones - were tax free as normal management of private assets.

The only two things that seemed to have triggered a taxation were frequent trading and corporate investments.

Other things they seem to care about, without examples having triggered taxes:

  • Did you borrow money for your crypto-investments?
  • How much of your total (moveable) assets did you invest in cryptocurrencies?
  • How long did you hold?
  • Is there a relation with your (IT or financial) profession?
  • Is your trading a professional activity?
  • Do you use professional tools?
  • How active are you in the cryptocurrency communities?
  • Do you mine?

There are no clear limits to these questions, but from the 11 tax-free rulings we can at least learn a few acceptable levels. On their own, the following events did not exclude a tax free ruling:

  • 3 purchases in a year
  • Selling bitcoin
  • Selling altcoins
  • Selling less than 1 year after purchase
  • Being jobless during (purchase? and) sale
  • Using a web-based wallet
  • Having no other investments
  • Cryptocurrency investments for (presumably close to but) less than 20% of your moveable assets
  • Large profits (estimations 100-fold or 10000%)
