What is going on with the insane bitcoin transaction fees?

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 🤑🤑🤑

  1. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
