I made some crypto-to-crypto trades that are less than one year which puts it under short-term capital gains (30%), but I want to re-invest this to another coin soon. I'm just worried about the future tax implications of this, can some one give some advice to settle some of my worries? I'm sure other anons are feeling the same. Should I just cut aside 30% taxes out now and re-invest just the 70% or any way to re-invest the full amount and pay taxes later?

Thx desus

I know that scenario is super illegal with sock trading but I'm pretty sure it's not *right now* with crypto

Some fag correct me if I'm wrong.

if they ask for your transaction trail then you'll get caught. Also, your scenario is for losing money, which isn't what I asked for. But thanks for your input.


If I re-invest my first coin's profits to a new coin without paying any taxes, can I just cut 30% taxes (for long term gains, 10%) later out of the new coin's gains?

"get caught" implies this is currently illegal, which for crypto is a grey area I believe

Sucks to be a cuckbase retard. Is it fun pretending you're the wolf of wallstreet?

You are correct. I believe wash sale trading does not apply to crypto.
