A Tax-Efficient Way to Spend Your #Bitcoin While Supporting the Network and Keeping Your Holdings Intact!

One way to spend Bitcoin, help decentralize the network, and move BTC off exchanges without triggering a taxable event is through a strategic spending and repurchase approach.

Here’s how it works ⬇️

Step 1: Spend #Bitcoin at a vendor who accepts it as payment.

This ensures you're using Bitcoin in the way it was designed—as a decentralized currency. You're also supporting businesses that accept Bitcoin directly. 💳⚡️

Step 2: Within 30 days of making the purchase, buy back the same amount of Bitcoin.

This is key to ensuring that you retain your original holdings without being exposed to market volatility. 🔄

The magic behind this strategy is the 30-day rule.

In the UK, this rule prevents you from claiming a tax loss on an asset if you buy it back within 30 days, but it also means you inherit the original cost basis if no profit is made.

By rebuying the Bitcoin within the 30-day window, you effectively reset your position at the original purchase price, meaning no capital gains or losses are realized.

This way, no taxable event occurs, and your Bitcoin stays in your hands! 💼🛡️

Not only does this method keep your tax position intact, but it also moves Bitcoin off exchanges, which enhances decentralization and strengthens the Bitcoin network.

You continue to hold Bitcoin with your initial cost basis, tax-free. 🏛️🔐

In summary:

Spend BTC at a vendor

Buy back the same amount within 30 days

Maintain your original cost basis, avoiding tax implications

Support the Bitcoin ecosystem by transacting on-chain 🌍⚡️

I’m meeting a fren for dinner.

If I tell you he’s a window cleaner, who do you think’s going to pay?

If I tell you his firm cleans the windows of buildings like the one behind me. Now who do you think’s going to shout dinner 😂

Testing v0.dev ... and I love it, honestly. Wish I could fully selfhost that, but this is really good stuff. Nice UI and it can help me do what my visual impairment can not :3

Chicken is my least favorite meat but when I have it I go for the thighs. How about you? #foodstr

Grafana is killing me right now. I still have not fully learned it and now it is falling on my feet like a cinder block... This is bad. Real bad. :/

We have duplicating Alerts in OnCall - or rather, they just kinda... come back, with the resolution notes disappearing outright. This is so weird o.o...

Snap can GTFO.

Been using flatpak for most things, which has been working great.

Broken Money was published a year ago this week

Thanks to everyone who read it, shared it, and reviewed it! 🙏

I resisted writing a book for years since it’s such a tedious process, until finally a book formed in my head that I felt needed to exist, and that was too distracting for me *not* to write. And then I poured everything I had into it.

Alabama going through a similar exercise...meanwhile, how 'bout them blue states?

In recent weeks I've started getting a ton of messages from "crypto marketing agencies" offering to get me social media coverage, AMAs, podcasts, etc.

Not sure if this means the market is heating up or if it means the market is dead and these folks are getting desperate.

Sad state of our fragile society...
