Crypto Tax Audit CEO: Filing efforts hampered by fears of IRS retroactive rule changes

Clinton Donnelly, CEO of Crypto Tax Audit, stated that many U.S. users have not reported their cryptocurrency taxes because they are afraid that the IRS will modify regulations after they submit their tax returns. The IRS has the discretionary power to apply laws retroactively or retrospectively interpret them. It is reported that Clinton Donnelly is also an expert in calculating capital gains from cryptocurrency.

In the IRS's notice on March 25th, the existing general tax principles regarding transactions using virtual currency were described. In this update, also known as Notice 2014-21, the IRS stated that the general tax principles applicable to property transactions will apply to transactions using virtual currency. Although this notice did clarify the IRS's position on cryptocurrency transactions, Clinton Donnelly stated that it lacks the legal binding force of regulations. Prior to this update, the IRS had not expressed an opinion on the taxation of cryptocurrency.

Money Routers

Hello,Crypto’s killer application is already here in the form of stablecoins. In 2023, Visa did close to $15 trillion in transaction volume. Stablecoins did about $20.8 trillion in total transaction volume. Since 2019, $221 trillion in stablecoins have been exchanged between wallets.Over the past few years, the equivalent of global GDPs has been moving through our blockchains. Over time, this capital has accumulated in different networks. Users switch between protocols for better financial opportunities or lower transfer costs. With the arrival of chain abstraction, users may not even know they are using a bridge.

PvP

PvP, or “player vs. player,” is a phrase used often by shitcoin traders to describe this current market cycle. The sentiment it evokes is predatory, where winning comes at the expense of others. That is so TradFi. The express purpose of the crypto capital markets is to allow those who risk their precious capital to enjoy the fruits of being “early” into projects that hopefully will grow apace with Web3. But oh, how we have strayed from the enlightened path laid down for us by Lord Satoshi and then subsequently Archangel Vitalik with his very successful Ether initial coin offering (ICO).

Trump declines Fox News invitation to second presidential debate with Harris

Trump promises to end double taxation of Americans abroad

US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in a statement to overseas voters that he will terminate the collection of income tax from Americans living in other countries. This is the latest tax proposal in his 2024 election campaign. This commitment can simplify the tax obligations of American citizens living overseas. Americans living anywhere in the world must submit tax information to the US Internal Revenue Service and must pay US taxes in addition to paying taxes in their country of residence. This commitment requires congressional approval and, according to the US State Department, could potentially reduce the tax bills of approximately 9 million Americans living overseas. (Jinshi)

USDJPY: The Most Important Chart in the World

Sometimes I get obsessed about certain topics to the point where I can’t stop reading about them and every adjacent topic required to understand that topic. The Japanese Yen has been the beneficiary of my passionate love for the past few months. Ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you how annoying I can be about it if you trigger me about it. Rather than re-explaining it all multiple times I thought why not just write an article to consolidate my knowledge into one blog post. This is that post.
