If I just hold Bitcoin do I have to do any tax stuff

If I’ve only ever bought and never sold do you need to pay any taxes? Since the gains aren’t realized yet?

What I don't understand...

Why are there so many posts like "I have $100-$1000, should I put it all in now or buy later?" Usually people like this are teens or millennials, which to them, this might feel like alot of money. We are so early in Bitcoin that $1000 is about 2 milllion satoshis. Do you really think you will only be worth $1000 by the time you need to retire in 40-50 years? No. So just buy bitcoin, if it goes to $0, who cares. Or the more likely outcome is bitcoin is worth millions of dollars (if dollars exist) and you are set for retirement. Just buy the bitcoin ticket and keep it somewhere safe(don't lose your keys) and don't touch it. Don't day-trade it. Whenever you sell, whales are buying your sats and will be holding them forever and you're going to have to buy less for more later. Do you want to holds your sats forever or do you want to let the whales hold it for themselves? Please everyone, think of the bigger picture. submitted by /u/erangalang [link] [...

If you want the price of Bitcoin to go up...

...don't store Bitcoins on other people's equipment, where they can be rehypothecated . The rehypothecation of gold via "paper gold" has stalled the price of gold - do you want criminals to be able to suppress the price of Bitcoin, too? I don't. For example, move Bitcoins off exchanges, don't lend them. Buy actual Bitcoins instead of ETFs, Grayscale stock, etc. Furthermore, "Not your keys, not your Bitcoins. " Governments are going to become desperate as their fiat currencies fail and go to zero. In their desperation, they will figure out that custodial Bitcoins are low hanging fruit and easy to confiscate. The custodians will gladly hand over your Bitcoins to keep their own butts out of jail. Don't just hand over your wealth like that. Maintain actual ownership of actual Bitcoins in your own wallet. A little prevention goes a long way. submitted by /u/Mark_Bear [link] [comments] from Bitcoin - The Currency of the Internet https...
