    Let’s say you assume there is a dip coming. You want to sell your Bitcoin so you can buy back into the dip.

    Where do you put that money?!

    If I sell btc for USD it triggers a tax event. I’m taxed very high (New York) so cashing out my Bitcoin immediately loses me like 35%.

    I would not mind paying taxes, but I’m not really earning that USD, I’m just waiting to buy back in.

    So how do I do this? Because if I have to lose 35% every time I sell... I’m holding until I retire.

    • @zaq Crypto trades are also a taxable event. Please do not answer basic finance questions without googling it first.nb
    • Hm ok it’s 15% tax because it’s long term Capital Gains (in my case.) Still, 15% is a big dip to call right every time.nb

    • Who the fuck is taking 35%!?monospaced
    • Oh. Income tax. It’s not considered a capital gains income? That would be closer to 10%. I guess it’s considered gambling earnings. Shitty.monospaced
    • A brokerage would allow you to reinvest and not count it as income until you withdraw after a sale. Didn’t realize Bitcoin didn’t do the same.monospaced
    • Capital gains is tied to income. I’m in a similar position myself, where short term capital gains tax is 35%, but only 15% long term.5timuli
    • The highest rates right now are 37%/20%, but I think the short term is bumping up to 39.6% under Biden’s tax plan. Not sure about long term though.5timuli
