    Do they support KASPA? It's 80% of my portfolio and limits who I can use. Supposedly you can download a csv from Tangem... maybe you could make a video on how to do that for unsupported chains???
    Also is a list of my public addresses safe to save on the cloud? I assume so but thought I'd ask... would make it easier to be able to access on phone or computer.

    Hello Cyberscrilla, awesome video as always. Is crypto swapping really taxable? i mean, lets say you swap ETH to BTC, is that taxable?

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  4 місяці тому +4

      Yes, swapping crypto is taxable…
      When you swap one crypto for another, it’s treated as if you are selling the first crypto (which is a taxable event) to acquire the second.
      But wait, there’s more.
      If you swap $100 worth of BTC for $100 worth of ETH, and later the value of ETH increases to $200, you could owe capital gains tax on the profit if you sell or swap the ETH again.
      The gain would be calculated based on the difference between what you initially spent (in this case, $100) and what you sell it for (in this case, $200).
      That’s why a using a tax software like the one i mentioned to calculate all this for you is crucial…
      Also, always double check things with a tax professional.

    Hi, I have a question? If I send crypto to my friends or family wallet, is it taxable? Or vice versa if they send me crypto is it taxable? Thank you for your great videos as always.

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  4 місяці тому

      In most cases, sending crypto as a gift to family members is not taxable for the recipient. However, you may be subject to gift tax rules, depending on the value of the crypto and the country you’re in.
      But if you’re paying them for a goods or service, it could be.
      Again, always best to ask a tax professional these questions. I am not one.
      That said, EVERY transaction should be reported anyways if you have to file crypto taxes.

    If you do any transactions on a DEX, will it be found on this software? Also, the steps you did for the cold wallet, does it recognize all the different Block chains, like you showed for the hot wallet? Or do you have to input each one of those separately, likein Tangem wallet.

    Many thanks for another great video. I just would like to cross check, if I would use cold wallet only for storing crypto, then it is a non-taxable event (unless I misunderstood), thus does not have to be imported into the cryptotax tool, correct? Thanks

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  3 місяці тому +1

      It depends what you’ve done with that crypto. If you’ve ever swapped one crypto for another, sold some, mined, or received an airdrop, those are all taxable events.
      Now, if you just bought crypto on an exchange and sent it straight to your cold wallet for safekeeping, no taxable events occurred.
      Always checks with a tax professional

    • @cyberscrilla

      Yes. Anytime you sell that’s a taxable event.
      As for a honeypot (a coin you can’t sell), that would could likely be reported as a loss. Same with a rug pull. Definitely ask a tax professional how to report something like a honeypot.

    • @cyberscrilla
      @cyberscrilla  4 місяці тому +1

      If you’ve ever made transactions, you’ll still need the receiving addresses. You can find these addresses on the blockchain.
      For example, if you moved crypto from your old wallet (the one you deleted) to a new one, the tax software will show the old wallet’s receiving addresses.
      You can then just copy them import and import them as well. Super easy.
      You can stop using a wallet, but past transactions exist on the blockchain forever.

      That’s great, but if you have an income and you’re spending that money-especially in large amounts to buy crypto-without any record of where it’s going, it could raise suspicions. This is particularly true unless you’re being paid under the table.
      Having no record is not a good thing; it’s suspicious. To each their own, but for now, I’ll give the government what’s theirs (their inflated money) and keep what’s mine (my soul).

      Your transactions exist when you turn the crypto into cash or deposit it into a bank. Then it looks like you just received a lump sum of cash, which is way worse than paying only tax on only your realized gains. You're actually making it worse.
