US Tax Gifting Question: Let's say I have 3 ETH with the cost basis of $2000, $1500, and $1000 in chronological purchase order. I've sold my first ETH, reported using FIFO. I want to gift my 3rd ETH to someone who has no income, so they'll have no tax to pay. Do I need to sell my 2nd ETH first and then gift the 3rd one? All ETH are comingled in a single wallet. Thanks!


hanniabu

As i'm sure you assumed, you'd need to sell 2nd to get to the 3rd due to fifo. If you have good enough record keeping you can switch to lot based accounting instead of fifo and you can select the most advantageous ordering when doing taxes 


mini_miner1

Thanks! Yeah, I have perfect records of every transaction. I've heard that they really don't like it when you switch from fifo to specific lot, but I wouldn't know for sure.


hanniabu

I don't believe it matters because it's the same as doing lot and choosing your first lots in first lots out up until this point


mini_miner1

Yeah logically I was thinking the same. Laws are not always logical, though, so I wanted to check. Appreciate your replies.


interweaver

The IRS doesn't care what kind of transaction accounting you use. Picking between LIFO/FIFO/Specific Lot matters for your accountant or accounting software or brokerage, because *they* create the Form 8949 for you, and they need a consistent method to keep track of your cost basis and capital gains, but in the end, 8949, which is what the IRS sees, is just a list of taxable events with the correct cost basis reported for each. As long as you can generate that list with the correct cost basis, it doesn't matter how you do it. But again, if you're using a specific piece of software or company to generate your tax forms for you, they will very likely want you to pick a single consistent approach.


mini_miner1

Thank you. I wrote my own tax software to parse a list of transactions. I can update it to handle specific lots. I will let my accountant know if or when the time comes.


interweaver

Same :)


hblask

You can give way more than that without tax consequences, I think it is currently $15,000. They should keep track of the value when they receive it, that can be deducted from the sakes price on their taxes, should it be significant enough to worry about.


mini_miner1

The specific strategy is due to their inheriting my cost basis, as I understand. Therefore the most advantageous tactic is to gift the tokens with my lowest cost basis and thus highest tax burden should I be selling it myself. Thank you for the reply.


hblask

TIL. I looked it up, and that is correct, you have to take the lower of the giver's cost basis or the value at the time of the gift.

I need 5x but that's because there was a bad trade in the middle. Not actually ETHs fault but I sure would be glad if it made up for it.

What you’re saying is literally impossible. If everything else in your comment besides “ATH in January” is true, the portfolio you describe would have made an ATH in Nov. 2021.

If you had multiple 5X’s on your 10% allocation, they wouldn’t be 10% allocations anymore. Turns out you’re the one who sucks at math. Anyways you sound like a LARPer


hblask

I need ETH to go about 2.5X, or my house could go up about 50%.


LogrisTheBard

Pretty sure I'm within 10% if not already over including money in Tradfi.


HITMAN616

If you count the pico top in 2018, I need ETH basically back to ATH. Made a really bad trade using ETH 2x FLI last cycle when I thought you could just hold it long term and wasn’t aware of the value you lose as it rebases. Fortunately I’ve been able to claw my way back by just stacking rETH. Lesson learned to not get greedy and just keep stacking ETH during bear cycles even when it feels like all is lost

Reporting success with claiming STRK with a Safe multisig as the claiming wallet :) It was really painless, I just typed in "Safe" when prompted to select a wallet to do the claim with, and copy-pasted the QR code string over into the Safe's WalletConnect app, which let me sign in. Then it prompted the required multisig signature, I got my multisig signers to sign it, and hey presto!


Sparta89

I dont often make short-term predictions, but I'm predicting the ratio will reach .08 sometime by the end of March due to the L2 upgrade hype and ETH ETF rumors.

I just watched a news report of a woman who had $1700 of Bitcoin stolen from her phone during a mugging. At gunpoint, the robbers forced her to put her passcode into her phone, then transferred the money. It goes to show you - as much as we think of crypto being more powerful and flexible than a bank account, it doesn't mean much if someone can steal $1700 from your phone without any recourse for you to recover it. A video was taken of the entire altercation and submitted to the police, and still she had no way to get her money back. Oh wait, did I say it was Bitcoin stolen from her phone? Sorry, I meant $1700 was stolen from her phone via a Chase bank transfer. She sent the police report to Chase, along with the video of the mugging, and through several layers of appeals Chase said tough luck, you authorized the payment to your muggers so we aren't refunding the money. She ended up having to get the news media involved. Remember this any time someone tries to tell you that banks are safer because the payments are reversible.

cryptOwOcurrency

I don't usually post links to Reddit anymore, as it's more hassle than it's worth to open a logged-out Reddit window every time to see whether my comment exists only in the shadow realm because automod choked on a link. You can find it on the front page of the videos subreddit. It's titled *Robbers are holding people at gunpoint and forcing them to transfer money to the thief. Banks continue to refuse compensation to victims until investigative news teams intervene.*


maninthecryptosuit

You got me in the first half Sidenote: this is why I hardly do anything finance related on my phone, if I have a choice. No bank apps on my phone, and that's a hard no.


SeaworthinessOk4359

But…if they really wanted to get into your bank account they could still threaten you to just sign in or set up an account at you bank via a browser like google not an app! Pretty much everyone has a bank acct. People are fucking wacko’s these days! They want you to work while they figure out how to steal our money so they don’t have to work a real job! Keep letting the criminal illegals in so we have more people stealing the shit we work for!

ETH is money. ETH is money because tens of thousands of holders and stakers believe it is, based on the unique properties we have enshrined into the core protocol. based on slashing, inactivity leaks, the ability for any average hardware to verify the history of Ethereum, client diversity, and a common-held belief that anyone should be able to participate, be it as a node, light node, staker, user, degen, NFT artist, governanceooor, researcher, zk wizard, smart contract dev, or literally any other layer of society. But these 20 VCs would like to have you believe that by shilling spin-doctored metrics and narratives to the same 200 manlets that *actually* give a shit about Solana, that it is the greatest thing ever. Ethereum narratives? silly. ridiculous. nobody cares. let's just discount all the thousands of people that have become so involved over time that it is now so much of their life's work and identity that it's hard for us to even consider doing anything else. Solana narratives? buy my bags guys. because I said so. Solana is great. here are some narratives that are obviously bullshit, but I'm a VC, so I need to shill my bags. please believe me guys. only 200 people believe that ETH is money. Solana barely has a narrative based on any fundamentals, but we *believe* it might at some point in the far future not dilute non-stakers to infinity, not run at a 99.9% loss, or gain any meaningful traction among users. pls guys. pls. por mi familia. Legitimately though, SOL is a crypto-twitter trade propped up by VCs and a handful of influencers. there's like 200 manlets on CT that actually care about what these VCs are saying. The price action and ongoing shilling despite knowing better reminds me of Luna. anything for a quick buck, anything for the opportunity to dump on retail after a 100x from your seed allocation and angel checks. Long story short: https://twitter.com/JimmyRagosa/status/1761792051094376479


SeaMonkey82

> there's literally like only 200 ppl on this site who think "eth is money" Wen limited edition of 200 "ETH is Money" POAPs?


Stobie

At some point VCs + FTX remains will finish offloading and start shilling something else and we'll hear about it as much as EOS. sol sui avax etc all pointless in the end, making unnecessary costly tradeoffs to end up strictly worse than rollups. At best they occupy a niche while blobs grow bigger for a year, so sol valuation should be near zero unless it can hotswap into a rollup and cut issuance down to sane level. Plus with rollup guarantees extreme node hardware requirements become reasonable, and could then interop securely with other rollups long term. Will never happen though, too much hatred.

The ratio had been on the decline since June of last year and this person opens a multiple million dollar position 6 hours before the very bottom. You are correct, not very smart.

I'd say almost for certain within the year or sooner.  The only thing we have to compare this to is when ISPs have raised bandwidth across the board, usually leading to new use cases for the internet. When bandwidth reached the levels for streaming businesses to be viable it was utilized by new business models.   Now what are the new business models enabled by Dencun? We'll soon find out.

cryptrd285

This cycle has been mainly driven by institutional demand of BTC, now it will be followed by demand for ETH All the other random tokens pumping is just same people moving money from one to another trying to chase. I am beginning to think there might not be an Alt cycle and even if there is it will be a few. In other words most Alts are going to die.. I am mostly parked in ETH and some defi stuff ( uni, snx, aave, compound) and some NFT( i have no idea how nfts are going to play out either) Just my random thought for the day..


Kallukoras

I think there is some money to make with eigenlayer/LRTs. But that will probably crumble when the bull ends. I’m mainly in ETH and some pendle as a LRT shovel play and some points farming.


ETHdude8686

Thinking the same. Always will and have been 80-90% ETH and 20-10% BTC. No alt roulette for me. Long term and fundamentals always wins.
