Just curious about the consensus amongst tax professionals with respect to crypto. The word on the street (or the blockchain as the case may be) is that the IRS is undertaking an enforcement initiative targeting crypto and that a wave of deficiency letters has been sent to audit targets, many of them focused on tax year 2021.

Do you guys think these letters are targeted at people who underreported or whose returns failed to match exchange reporting, or are they just going after anybody who checked the crypto box on their recent returns? I’ve paid my taxes to the best of my knowledge and kept meticulous records, but I’m wondering if I should set aside some money for an “audit defense fund

So I’m writing this post partially as a cautionary tale and partially as a thank you to this sub.

Last night I was the victim of a sim swap. The hacker somehow had my phone number canceled with my carrier and exported elsewhere. The hacker then used the number to reset the password on my primary email account. Then he recovered a drop box account and a couple Gmail accounts, all within about 15 minutes.

I found out about the attack at around 6 am. What a horrible feeling. Pit in your stomach panic. What had happened to my crypto accounts and bank account?

I hit the laptop and quickly confirmed that all the accounts were secure. No attempts at entry had been made and all funds were accoun

I’m a US citizen trying to withdraw my assets. My withdrawals are getting blocked with a message that “there is a negative balance in one of your accounts.” I can’t imagine why that would be; I have no trades pending and a positive balance showing. Is this a glitch? Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I’ve tried contacting the customer service chat bot but haven’t been getting any responses

Edit2: I traded for some BTC and can now withdraw.

So I "mined" for a few days on the iOs app - about 26 ETN - after which it asked me for level 2 KYC and sent me into an endless loop even after uploading an ID into YOTI. The registration was impossible to complete, and after multiple attempts the app flagged me for "suspiciously robotic behavior" which is complete BS. All this hassle for 20 cents worth of ETN...

I'll try to log back into the app again tomorrow, but if it gives me the same problems I'm just going to delete it and forget about this sub-50 market cap coin for now. The app was kinda fun initially and I was excited about ETN but this process is just too invasive and annoying. If it later proves itself to have a

I purchased a bunch of Ukrainian lunar coins from this seller and it was a great experience. He priced fairly, shipped well and delivered in two weeks - impressive for an international shipment. Communication was also excellent. I would definitely buy from mega_seller again.

So I was waiting until the 10 oz lunar dogs fell below $200 and just picked one up for $199.70 from Monument Metals (great pricing - thanks Jonathan). Now, of course, that means silver will CRASH another $1 before the end of the day tomorrow. You can all thank me this weekend! Have a great Thursday, everyone.

The CrazyRus provided fast, discreet shipping. He's very professional and I'd buy from him again.

Great communication and super-secure packaging. I'd definitely recommend this guy as a seller.

allofasudden615 communicated well, shipped quickly and packaged very securely. I would definitely do business with him again.

Quick shipping and packaged well. Would buy again.
