What is going on with the insane bitcoin transaction fees?

JackJackson said:
Right, but then you have to show a trail of where they were obtained, at least that’s what I thought? And depending on how you obtained that crypto, you might just want to pay the taxes instead of having accountants asking questions. Thoughts?

You only have to show how obtained if you are audited. Granted that's playing the odds a little but unless you're laundering huge amounts of money through BTC (which wouldn't be a great way to launder from what I understand) and you didn't earn it vending drugs, I'd file with the actual cost basis and let them challenge me on it if they want. Worst case is you can't (or choose not to) prove what you paid for the BTC then you pay the original tax plus a penalty.

Yes. I just received my 1099-B for 2023 from CashApp. Every time I sold BTC, CashApp considered the amount you sold in BTC as capital gains. So yes, you will owe federal taxes each and every time you sell BTC for USD because they recognize this as income.

It kind of sucks because they are taxing me on the entire amount of BTC I sold in 2023. (I’m just going to use round numbers to explain the 1099-B form CashApp sent me.)

In 2023, I sold $5,000 worth of Bitcoin through CashApp to receive 5,000 USD to deposit into my Chase checking account. CashApp then sent me a 1099-B form for the year of 2023. They are considering the entire $5,000 worth of BTC that was sold as “capital gains,” regardless of where the BTC originated from or how you obtained it. To make a long story short, you will have to pay federal taxes on ANY Bitcoin you sell through CashApp.

NO F***ING WAY!!!

Well, I hope you did well for yourself trading-wise to offset the taxes.
You know what they say: MO' MONEY = MO' PROBLEMS

Same here. Will never use bitcoin again. It's not private anymore if the irs sends you a tax form.

BTC is "publicly" traded now, remember? Unfortunately, it's no longer the Wild Wild West like it was 10 years ago

MY DUMBASS SAID NO TO SHARES WHEN THEY WERE LESS THAN $100 (from a hippy, suuuuuuuuper White Whole Foods co-worker).

Back then, it was SUPER sketchy and it sounded like just another pyramid scheme, you know? It was "private" P2P only.... similar to the original NAPSTER music. All signs indicated SCAM........

DAMN!!! I f***ed up on that one in 2013 🤑🤑🤑

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢

  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
