Crypto and Taxes

>convert $500k worth of NEO to BTC right now
>lose private key
>owe $150k in tax
>literally cant pay it
>go to jail for 5 years for losing a private key

these laws are fucking stupid

As the other guy said, if you are poor then Investments held longer than a year don't get taxed

So whatever you invest in better be long-term if you don't want to pay taxes. But ignore you lose money then you don't get taxed

So if you want to pump n dump you gotta pay the big man

That's only for longterm

Yea but selling his btc for NEO is a taxable event so he owes on that.

Hey George

I am from a third world country. Will uncle sam tax my shekels as well??

If his only income is the 20k then hes in the 20% bracket.

long-term is 0% under $37k

What if I just take out small amounts every time I need it? Not at all once?
