Here you go Dan. I put a section in about taxes just for you https://galaxymind.space/spend-and-replace

More than half of all bitcoin is underwater right now. For people who spend, that is not bad news, it is a tax break. Spend and replace, the version with HIFO: pay a merchant in bitcoin and pick your highest-cost-basis lots, the ones most underwater. You realize a capital loss on the dip. Then you rebuy the same amount with fiat, so your stack ends the day exactly where it started. That loss is real and usable. In the US it offsets other capital gains, plus up to $3,000 of ordinary income a year, with the rest carried forward. And because you actually spent the bitcoin on a good or service, the disposal has clear economic substance · this is not a sham sell-and-rebuy. Crypto is not currently subject to the wash-sale rule either, so you can replace the coins immediately. So in a down market, spend and replace does not just let you use bitcoin without shrinking your stack. It can actively lower your tax bill. Not tax advice, and US-centric · rules vary by country and can change. The full breakdown: https://galaxymind.space/spend-and-replace #Bitcoin #Nostr
