Yeah I thought so. Better off doing regular day trading or something.That would take forever unless investing a very large amount.
Are my bitcoins taxed as income, or as capital gains?
Income that is earned through the exchange of services with another person, whether in the form of bitcoins, dollars, or barter; is included in gross income, and would be subject to income tax at applicable rates. Also these bitcoins could be subject to self employment tax.
In some jurisdictions, income earned through the process of buying and selling bitcoins would also be included in gross income, but would be treated as capital gains.
Note: The above interpretation is based on the assumption bitcoins are treated as a store of value such as gold, or other such commodity. If instead they are treated as a currency or debt, the full gain could be taxed based on market value at the end of each tax year. 3858 IRS Ends Currency ETN Advantage Simply put, the IRS never considers currency a long-term investment. Consequently, if bitcoins are treated as a currency, you will be taxed the same as holding an account in any non-functional (foreign) currency.

My two cents:
And if they want to interpret it as capital gains, there are ways to defer that "indefinitely" or other instruments and entities you can put that into like a Trust.
You're thinking in terms of transferring funds back to USD. While others live completely in crypto currency, as in paying rent, buying items online strictly through Bitcoin.
There are many ways to deal with things down the line and the IRS is the last thing on my mind.
Man I feel like there is so much potential to make money with Bitcoin or altcoin trading
I just dont know how to do it yet
Seems like the cryptocurrency market is more volatile than the stock market, which means more potential to make money (or lose money if you're not careful)
Just a simple $50 a day adds up
$50 × 30 days == $1,500 dollars profit a month
You just need to know when to anticipate which currencies are going up, when to ride the wave, and when to jump off the wave
I feel like something might pop off shortly after Inauguration Day
Seems like every time Trumps opens his mouth & says something stupid, or tweets something stupid, the market goes crazy
We just have to be ready

yea that's the point.
if the shit catches on like it can then we don't need to even transfer it to anything we can just pay straight up with what we have.

We are moving to a cashless society. India is almost fully there. Call them the test dummies to those that run things.Right, i'm SURE you WILL transfer MOST of that money into USD
if it goes crazy. I don't think in anytime soon you can use that cyrptocurrency exclusively
to live. Maybe in 20-30 years....Not yet

My thing is I don't think this will be "it" but they will want something they can control of course.
It's why Bitcoin has been their biggest nightmare. They can't control it just like having cash in hand. It's anonymous.
They want to limit crimes globally where cash is used to buy drugs, weapons, whatever.
But my point is there's many ways to move this money if and when the time comes. You have to think outside the bubble and fear of the govt with taxes and things like that. I don't. I live within trusts and can live off the benefits of being a trustee where I myself can own nothing and control everything.
Why? Why do I need to have USD?? I'm AGREEING with you. I'm just saying if in 5 years XRP is at $500 a coin...YOU WILL CASH (USD) A LOT OF IT
Why? Why do I need to have USD?
I can put it to another coin, transfer it to another strong stable currency elsewhere like Francs or something and park it there. When I want or need money, if I still live here, I can trickle some in.
Again we are movitng to a cashless society.Hahaha, You just said you wouldn't cash out though?
Now you talking about the Franc
The Franc is JUST AS FAKE as the USD
It would be stupid cause this currency is STILL extremely volatile
It can crash in a day. The USD will not....
I would not pull all my money out but I would pull $$$ out if it comes off
The thing about Ripple.....I dont want to be the one to say this BUT.....I dont think its going to jump that high in price
Bitcoin & others are so volatile b/c the nature of how they are, completely decentralized, with no government control or intervention
Ripple is like the opposite. Its the governments way if saying "yea digital currency is the future, but we still need a way to control this & control the price"
With ripple, they basically are using the blockchain infrastructure, and making a separate blockchain for each banking company.
So the positives are that they can transfer money overseas faster (as opposed to waiting for wire transfers), plus they dont have to worry about a shitload of transaction fees
But the negatives are that there is still some government intervention, so they can ultimately control the price (ripple price), by selling off more ripple shares into the market, kinda like how the Fed controls the supply if money to manipulate the rate of inflation
Ultimately, with ripple, I think they want a more stable digital currency, thats just more effecient at transferring large sums of money back & forth overseas
So i mean, thats why I dont think its going to just jump up sky high in a short period of time, like Bitcoin did
I definitely think it will increase, but I'm thinking maybe to like $1-$5 range
I dont know man... maybe I'm completely wrong ???
But I'm curious what other people think though ???

I know I'm just rambling but...
I know everyine is waiting for ripple to "pop" BUT the thing is, it already "popped"
I was looking at charts last night, and about 2-2.5 years ago it was kinda high
I think it was at around .25 - .30 cent
But then the company founder/owner sold off a bunch if his ripple, which increased the supply, which caused the price to drop all the way down to where it is right now
Soooo, when this takes off again, whos to say that the founder/owner/banks wont do the same thing again, as a way to control the price of the ripple currency?

Maybe the difference was that you used your credit card, where mine was a wire from my bank account.
Well if it goes to $5 then ive made 500k; on a 1k investments; ill take that all day!!!!!The thing about Ripple.....I dont want to be the one to say this BUT.....I dont think its going to jump that high in price

Well anything can happen but I think that if this is gonna become a settlement tool
between banks it won't happen. This coin is grossly undervalued right now so much
that it doesn't make sense. I understand why the crypto world doesn't like it and that's part of the problem.
They Banking industry is still kinda old fashion but like all things, technology will catch up to them

I think the catalyst for this taking off might be the Western Union contract
If western union decides to use ripple to do their money transfers then it will definitely be a big plus
Right now they are still in the testing phase, so we relly need to keep an eye out for any info in the news about it
Also, I think ripple will slowly take off, when more banks come aboard & switch over from the current SWIFT network infrastructure
From what I've been reading, swift is comparable to Blockbuster, while Ripple is comparable to Netflix
But its definitely going to take a while for the banks to switch
Well if it goes to $5 then ive made 500k; on a 1k investments; ill take that all day!!!!!
Shit that's all I need. It go to $5 I'm![]()
Shitttt.. A dollar a coin is a major comeup
I know; lets hope it takes about a year to get to $1-$5 and then it goes up from there; like I said im going to buy about 100k ripples per month; get me to 500k maybe even a mill ripples and just chill and let this shit go up....Yup yup
Well hopefully it doesnt take forever to get there
![]()
No, you'd be at over $800k USDWell if it goes to $5 then ive made 500k; on a 1k investments; ill take that all day!!!!!
dam my math is off, i must be adding something wrong; break it down for me bro...No, you'd be at over $8m USD
I was wrong. Was one decimal over on the current rate of xrpdam my math is off, i must be adding something wrong; break it down for me bro...
