Hi James, thank you for everything you do for your Patreons. My question is: what do we do as banks close the faucet on Fiat Transactions? Just yesterday I tried making a fiat transfer from Revolut to Kraken and the operation would not go through. After requesting technical support, this was the answer I received: "I've checked it and I see what's going on here. Sadly, this beneficiary is no longer supported and you won't be able to transfer money to this bank account. It happens due to internal security reasons and we won't be able to share full logic behind it. I'm sorry for any trouble this might cause you! Thank you for your understanding!"

Hi James, If I had bought a coin at 59k, does it make any sense to sell it at 34k and rebuy at 32K. Or should I just buy another coin at 32k and bring my first coins average cost down?

Maybe not good enough for the video, but I have started learning about covered calls and the book I am reading raised a few questions. It said not to write covered calls from inside an IRA account because if you are assigned you would have to withdraw the shares from the IRA to sell to the customer? Is it best to only write covered calls against shares that have been held for a year? It seems assignment would trigger short term capital gain otherwise? How is the premium you receive from writing the call treated for tax purposes? Is it "income", short term cap gain? Thanks.

Hi James. If someone doesn't have too much crypto and has been collecting powder and would like to be a whole coiner, would you suggest dcaing, trying to wait for 30k and buying a whole bitcoin, or since it is under 34 just bite the bullet and buy now and hold?

Anonymous

James, I assume that since Bitcoin is holding in this sideways range that two things may be happening. 1. Whales and financial institutions are building positions. 2. There are enough retail/smaller traders that are willing to sell either at a loss or if they bought lower and missed selling at the highs in the 50s and 60s and are now throwing in the towel. Every time it starts to get a bit of upward steam it seems to get driven back down by the selling of enough supply to stall the buying energy. Odd to me that there is so much sitting supply waiting to sell at such a low level. Is it simply the "Big Players" containing it and pushing it back down until they complete their position? Why can't it seem to break higher? Your thoughts?

dca. right now the market is still too volatile so buying all at once is risky and if btc were to fall below 30k and you run of funds to buy the dip then you regret having bought it all at once. I DCA slowly with 10 to 20 percent of funds with the dips these days. there's regulation news coming up in U.S so be careful if you're considering buying all at once at current price.

I’ve been pondering this for awhile. I’m a bit confused as to how taxes are calculated when you sell or convert from USDC to USD. Say I convert $1000 USDC back to USD, but that was my initial investment, is that taxed? Additionally, if I gain interest on that, is the interest taxed the same way as long/short term capital gains? If I made $10 interest on that $1000, how would it be taxed if I withdrew it? Asking all of this because I’m trying to unbank and figure how the fees and withdrawals would work and if it’s feasible.

Since Bitcoin futures are a derivative and not bitcoin itself how does the shorting of Bitcoin futures effect the actual price of Bitcoin itself. Or is it that shorting futures is a bet that the actual price of Bitcoin goes down. Thereby not actually effecting the price of Bitcoin just profiting by the drop.

Crypto tax question, is there any tax implications on your initial investment?

Is there any tax related issues with moving around my initial $2000 investment. Thanks

I don’t think they are anti crypto. The very opposite. I think they are anti Bitcoin due to the threat it poses. What I’m worried about is how far the US and EU governments will go to deter/ outright block buyers. It’s especially likely if anything big blew up( Binance, Tether etc). I’d like James to outline how he thinks Bitcoin might work along side the CBDCs of the future.

I've heard James say you never have to sell your BTC/ETH which is a taxable event - instead borrow against your crypto to pay your bills and keep rolling the loan into infinity. Then you would owe zero taxes. He also cautions not to go over 25% LTV.

Mr. James, Can you and your Team of Cyber Hornets break down the Crypto Banks that are available to the retail investor and how to join? Also, do any of these banks have a traditional Direct Deposit option that you can use through an employer - or does everything have to be converted to crypto by the Individual BEFORE depositing to a crypto bank? I've browsed Avanti &amp; Kraken / signed up for updates but haven't really heard anything and they seem to favor institutions at the moment... PS. Excellent public service you and your team are providing - you trailblazers should be nominated for a Nobel !

I used exactly that strategy. Here is the great news - if you withdraw ONLY your contributions from your ROTH (not the investment gains), that is allowed and NOT a taxable event. So if you have contributions going back at least 6 years you could withdraw $33K without tax or penalty to buy one BTC. Beautiful!!! Google "withdrawing contributions from Roth IRA" to verify this.

Hi James...new to the club. Like you, I am a true believe in Chainlink. Although not particularly sexy, it seems incredibly undervalued. No oracle is even in its zip code. Is it crazy to allocate a larger proportion of it in my portfolio than I do Eth? IMO, assuming the bull run continues and BTC/ETH do 3-5x, I think LINK could conservatively do 7-10x based on quality, legacy and current market cap. Thoughts?

It's analogous to investing 10k in AMC/GAMESTOP or AMAZON/FACEBOOK in January 2021. Nobody would seriously argue that the former are 'better' investments. That fact notwithstanding, nobody would be happy if they had forgone the former to invest in the blue chips based upon the ROI for the first 6 months of the year. I'm not comparing quality alts to meme stocks, but the premise stands. The best way to accumulate more bitcoin is to 'hit' on some 5/10/20x altcoins and flip them into bitcoin than to way 2-3 cycles (5-10 years) for Bitcoin to top out. (I'm not anti BTC-- it's over 70% of my portfolio.)

iTrust Capital IRA question. If holding Bitcoin is like holding Manhattan real estate, presumably most of us will never sell and live off interest down the road. At some point, we will be forced to withdraw from iTrust because of age limits. iTrust won't make you sell you assets, they will deliver to an approved address - that is a taxable event though. How will people be able to afford the taxes on millions of assets if they don't want to sell? Does this mean it might be a better approach to never put crypto into retirement accounts if you never intend to sell? I think I have a dilemma...

Question for you: 1/Do you recommend trading (buying) BTC directly or trading equities such as MARA/HUT/Galaxy Digital, and if so, do options make more sense than actual stock? How would you play it if you're long term bullish but looking for shorter term (6-12mth) returns from volatility?

Hi TripleR, within Patreon, click on InvestAnswers, then on My membership (just under the large black banner, and next to Posts). Scroll down below the welcome video, and there's a button Connect to Discord. That usually works. If not, let us know as there's another way.

in terms of where SOL ranks vs. AAVE in your portfolio....does it still hold as before or are you adjusting your ranking given performance over the last few dips? Are you adjusting your ranking with any of the alt coins?

Re Q1 I’m also curious about this. I’m thinking of recent high profile deaths of super rich individuals whose wallets may now be locked forever. Re Q2, If Satoshi sells, the general consensus is that price would move downwards significantly! I can’t see it happening though they would unlikely want to potentially jeopardise the whole project by putting a face to the owner of 5% of all BTC.

Whilst there is plenty of FUD in the crypto world, mainly to shake out the retail investors (us), do you think there is a lot of FUD within the crypto community about fiat money and Great resets, dodgy governments, conspiracy theories and the like that makes people like us more gun hoe in investing into crypto?

I may have missed the ETH dip when it was around 3.5% away from the IA accumulation price of $2021. Perhaps I was penny pinching? What guideline would you give for someone who wants to be disciplined but also who doesn't want to miss out on the dips. Is a delta of say 5% from the accumulation price still a reasonable accumulation point?

Question: is there a good way to use “Total Value Locked” as a ratio to determine potential market cap of a Defi Token? For example, right now Aave has $9B locked up and a $3.8B market cap. Then Uniswap has $4B locked up but a $10B market Cap.

Hi James. Considering the prospects for BTC and FIAT currencies for the next decade, would you consider taking a longe-term loan to buy BTC and good move? If so, what loan terms would you consider as 'adequate' to make such a move. Thank you so much for what you do!

Hi James, could you explain why there is such a correlation on price as in when BTC fluctuates it sets off a tsunami throughout the rest of crypto. Its not as if its the railroad that they all move on, so what gives?

I started in crypto last November. My plan was to buy some BTC and some alts (40%) and sell near the top of the bull market, pay taxes on the gains and buy more BTC near the bear market bottom. Do you think we'll have enough of a bear market and a reasonably predictable top to pull this off?

Hi James, if government regulations or individual banks start putting serious pressure on fiat onramps like Binance "pay with USD" and other similar services, or simply refuse to allow credit card purchases of crypto altogether, what do you think will be a viable alternative to get crypto without these exchanges which seem to be the weakest link in the decentralization movement?

Hi James, New to the Crypto game. I was watching the other day and you stated that sometimes you often move your positions to USDC and wait for the Run Up. I admit that I am confused by that statement. Your video on How to Retire on Crypto indicated that you should buy on the dips and HODL. Could you clarify that for me?

My 5 year investment portfolio is mostly crypto and good risk management tells me I should diversify into equities, precious metals or cash. I am reluctant to diversify as crypto seems to have such a bright future compared with stocks on the edge of a correction, deflationary cash or manipulated gold. Thoughts?

Explain the GBTC arbitrage trade. As I understand it, the accredited investors or institutions borrowed (went short) BTC, deposited it into the closed end trust and got shares of GBTC with a 6 month lockup. With GBTC trading at a premium, at unlock, they would sell the GBTC shares and pay back (close the short) on the BTC, pocketing the premium. Does that mean that to borrow the BTC in the first place they entered a two party futures contract where someone loaned them the BTC (when it was much higher than it is now) with a 6 month time duration? So the institution will get the GBTC, now selling at a discount and have to settle the long position by paying more for the BTC than they can sell the GBTC for. But I guess my real question here, is, is there some counterparty to that original borrowing or short contract that gave out BTC at something like $60k and is now getting paid back with $33k BTC?

Hi James . I put a small position into a token called stacks. It essentially is a layer one blockchain that is secured by the bitcoin network. It allows for Defi and NFTs to be built on top of bitcoin. A token holder also earns rewards in bitcoin. It's risen 50 spots on coinmarketcap in the last week to 54. It's pitching itself as a more secure and precise competitor to ethereum on the bitcoin network. I what percentage do you usually allocate to a rapidly growing coin ?

I currently have half a Bitcoin. Based on everything you have taught us I am laser focused on becoming a whole coiner as soon as possible. Over the next few days I will have enough cash to buy the other 50% if BTC hovers around the $30K mark. Should I DCA over the next week at the current market price or put in a limit order for the lot with the hope of a dip below $30K? What would James do? 🙈😂

What are the ramifications for the holder when Ethereum takes the hard fork in August? If both forks grow off the same original block chain, does one now hold both ETH-1 and ETH-1a? Are there any tax ramifications? If there is no contention among the validation nodes, will the original chain just sit there like it was snipped and the value of any ETH from the perspective of the original chain just fall to zero and the ETH on the forked chain take over all of the ETH value? Is this process all automatic? Do the makers of self custody wallets have to make changes to be able to work with the newly forked Ethereum chain? Do the holders need to do anything?

With all the New legislation coming in, do you see a probability that governments restrict folk from cashing out into anything else other than CBDC's of their choosing ? And on the flip side do you forsee a time when consumers have a whole lot more choices in paying for key financial purchases like stocks straight with a crypto currency rather than cash/fiat and save on conversion and hence higher taxation ?

Hi James, I'm trying to better understand the social implications for Bitcoin/Defi vs CBDCs. It seems like the BIS is saying CBDCs are required so that big tech/social media companies don't gain control of the monetary system that governments currently have. Is that an accurate understanding? If so, how does BTC help give people more privacy and control if the FBI/DEA has said they can track transactions on BTC's blockchain and confiscate BTC? Is it merely a matter of third party control (central banks and governments vs corporations), or will increased government surveillance be a result of any switch to a digital monetary system of the future? Not sure if these are clear questions, because I'm confused and still trying to make sense of it all. Thanks for all you do, and for loving the animals!
