Hey everyone, it’s Finance Fridays again. This is kind of a short, niche post on “Crypto and Taxes”. Crypto and Taxes Yes. Just like anything else, you need to pay taxes on your cryptocurrency gains. Obviously, where you are in the world treats taxes differently. However, for the purposes of this post, I am specifically talking about United States Taxes. Oh man, I have to pay taxes? Yes. The IRS has, for some reason, defined […]
