If you sign up  for coinbase right now, go throught all the verification bullshit, then put money in it and buy BTC, you'll have to wait at least a week before sending those bitcoins to Binance or anywhere else.

It's currently 7X what it was just a week ago.  It looks like the new floor is somewhere around 2.5-3.5 cents.  That's a pretty good jump ('specially if you bought in at <$0.005), and even better if it's semi-stable.

View Quote

Not exactly an expert here, but I will take a shot at it.
A finite number of Hashes (mathematical formulas) exist for the entire Bitcoin system.  Each of these hashes make up 1 bitcoin. Miners discover the hashes by doing computational work until it finds one. Once it is found, then it is owned by whomever controls the miners. Either a pool (collective of small miners). Or a single individual miner (more processing work). Each BTC has a value associated with it dictated by markets like anything else.  Each bitcoin can be broken down into fractional to be purchased (1.0 whole bitcoin is currently worth $35,585.00) .  

The beauty of this is that nobody can create extra bitcoins out of thin air, inflating the currency.  No "Printer goes BRRR".  As bitcoins are used up, each one gets more valuable.   Downside is everything is 100% trackable. But is transparent to everyone.

Other crypto currencies work in a si9milar way but have their own improvements, and faults. Most are considered SHIT coins that won't go anywhere. But people dump money in them in the hopes they get rich.  Some are jokes, like DOGE, not meant to be serious. But people think it is hilarious putting their money into it. And others are pure scams meant for the creators to get rich and others left holding the bag.

The Top cryptos are:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
LINK (LINK)

And some others that I don't follow.   But the first two are great investments. As they are useful in real world applications and network systems.

Just bve aware that FEES for doing anything with your crypto adds up.  Fees for buying, trading, transfering..  All of it eating into your future profit margins.  Hell, just sending your bitcoin out of the BINANCE exchange comes with a $17 transfer fee .  Other exchanges vary greatly on this.  

Best thing to do is buy a hardware wallet (ledger nano) and buy your bitcoin directly on it. And hold the thing until you want to trade it back into US Dollars. If you want to try trading, start small and keep it separate until you know what you are doing.  Especially if you are prone to gambling.  People have blown much money making bad decisions.

Go to Kraken.com and open an account. Wire money from your personal checking account to Kraken. Two days after the wire goes thru, buy whatever virtual coin you want and keep it in your new Kraken account. It’s really that easy. I’m a bonehead (wife will corroborate) and I did it easily!

OK, so from one bonehead to another, the only thing that is holding me back is taxes.

Say I put $100 or even $1000 into some crypto (any kind as I am not sure if I should buy a tiny piece of one or a whole bunch of a tiny one).

How does this affect taxes taxes...say today, next year and 10 years from now If I leave it there and don't touch.    

I don't want to miss the boat on all of this, but I also don't want to explain to the wife some tax season why we owe a ton on taxes and have nothing to show for it.

And one more question... Is it even taxed?    I thought one of the major drawing points about crypto is that it can't be traced...so if it isn't traced how is it taxed.

Sorry if these are stupid questions but I know nothing about crypto OR taxes.

The powers that be don't care about laundering their ill gotten gains. They don't have to.

That's why we've had things like a treasury secretary that hadn't filed taxes in a decade, and how Pelosi can buy Tesla stock the day before Biden announces the feds are moving to all electric vehicles.

Cryptocurrencies will be tolerated until the masses start moving savings to them to protect themselves from USD inflation. They they'll get nuked.

Bitcoin is easily traceable, as all transactions are recorded in the global ledger.  Tying each transaction to an actual person's name is a bit more difficult but can be done if they aren't careful.   You should assume anything transferred from a legit exchange will be tracked at some point and tied to your name.  There are some privacy coins like Monero that might be worth looking into if you are worried about this.

The best way to stay anonymous is to meet someone in person who has cash, and you have bitcoin.   They show you the cash, you use your laptop to transfer the BTC to their account.   Sit around and have a cup of coffee until the blockchain confirms the transaction.  

Avoid the banking system altogether.  Before Coinbase became the giant gorilla of crypto this is how things were done.

Personally, I just use the exchange info that they provide to me and feed that information to my accountant.  Took him a few years to figure it out but now he understands what to do with the info.   And then I pay taxes on it.

NEVER buy in an unregulated market! You will ALWAYS be at the mercy of the biggest dog on the street, in this case China. When they want to take profits, there is NOTHING you can do.

If you want to understand what I'm talking about, read up on how Joe Kennedy built the family fortune. Before the SEC and trade regulations (early 1900s), he gathered large investors, manipulated stories in news papers and legally stole the average person's life savings, over and over again.

Crypto currency is unregulated so there will always be unfair trade practices. Today, China mines more crypto than any place in the world. No one can ever hope to keep up.

There are also a LOT of pissed off billionaires looking to get even. They are sharing mountains of lies right now. Buyer beware!

I would actually highly suggest you purchase an external hardware wallet such as a trezor or ledger. The reason being, is that electrum is open to phishing scams. I recall a few years back a bunch of guys losing tons of coins when somehow they got hijacked and prompted to "update" directly through the wallet. Turns out, that update claimed your wallet had to be reimported with your seed and well.. you know the rest.

I definitely think that these standalone wallets on hard drives are not a great idea for the average user. For 40 bucks, just get a hw wallet and be done with it IMO.

You can create a coinbase pro account and move your bitcoin straight from your old regular coinbase wallet into your new coinbase pro one. No fees, no issues.

The fees are definitely lower on Coinbase Pro.
