<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 7890437, member: 116145"]Agreed, I think Coinbase (the profitable and publicly traded crypto platform) may be the smart play for now, but my knowledge is limited. Crypto taxes are based on a 2014 IRS ruling that determined cryptocurrency should be treated as a capital asset (like stocks or bonds), rather than a currency (like dollars or euros). This decision has major ramifications for people who own crypto, as it opens them up to more complicated taxes.
