When you onboard new people to bitcoin, do you tell them that every time they spend bitcoin it is a taxable event?

LOL no

Won’t they get mad when they get hit with a big 1099-B ??

The fact that nobody will tell you the truth proves that bitcoin is a cult. I hate quoting CSW here, but it's true in this case.

Why would you ever sell bitcoin

If you bought gold, would you sell that?

If you sold a lawnower are you going to report that on your income? 😒

Are you reporting every zap? Come on man

Say there is a family emergency, or I'm suddenly homeless, the list goes on. Why would you think there is no reason to sell for any given situation? Maybe I wasn't smart enough to acquired said coins kyc free. I'm on the list now. You tell me where to go from here. Finish this story.

No

Don't sell, no cap gain or loss

Yes. that’s why it’s important to keep detailed records, I have a free bitcoin purchase tracking sheet that plots up your bitcoin over time. It’s pretty awesome check it out

DYOR. This URL looks like a scam. I've never heard of it. Find a reputable software platform (if there is such a thing in this space)

Lol it’s not a scam but I can see why it looks suspect. Doesn’t need to be that long. Gum road is a digital products page. How’s this one?

I’ve done my research, I’ve put 20 hours of work into this spreadsheet its a work horse, calculates everything you need. Free.

Unfortunately spreadsheets can contain malware. I don't mean for that to be a reflection upon you, but maybe you look into using something that can be inspected without execution.

I’m just trying to provide value to bitcoiners, what’s the best way for me to distribute my spreadsheets?

Unfortunately there isn't one.

Best you can do is host it on github or something with a message that says something like: trust me bro...
