It’s tax time, and many Americans are waking up to the harsh reality of the gains on their crypto trades. The process is complicated, confusing, and costly. Everything from bitcoin purchases to airdrops are subject to capital gains tax, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is lighting a fire under holders to collect what is owed. In November , federal regulators ordered Coinbase to release records of users that had more than $20,000 in transactions between 2013-2015, impacting more than 14,000 traders. It is no wonder crypto traders are looking for alternatives. One group of crypto entrepreneurs, led by Brock Pierce of the Bitcoin Foundation, headed to Puerto Rico to escape some of the tax drama of the mainland. Their plan? To build a crypto-utopia. And the process has already begun. Currently, the group, which they’ve named Sol, has already started the process of searching for properties on the island. “The Monastery,” a 20,000 square foot hotel the group has rented out, acts as S...

As regulators worldwide begin to crack down on ICOs, start-ups are becoming more weary of the risks associated with public offerings. In many cases, companies are skirting these regulations with air drops, or the distribution of free tokens, at least for the time being. One of the most notable ICOs that may be skipping its public offering is Telegram . Despite the cancelation rumors, the messaging app already enjoys the position of first ever billion-dollar ICO. EOS also had a big raise. So far, Telegram has already raised over $1.7 billion in private sales, as confirmed by recent SEC filings. "The goal of fundraising is to gain access to capital to allow a team to build a product and company. It appears Telegram has already achieved their goal so there would be no reason to conduct a public sale," explained Anthony Pompliano of Morgan Creek Capital Blockchain. Telegram has remained silent regarding the possible delay or outright cancelation of their public offering, but no...

The world was taken by surprise this past week when BTC surged above $8000 for the first time in weeks. On 4/12/18, BTC shot up an incredible $1000 in only 30 minutes, one of the fastest price increases ever recorded in such a timeframe. Currently, the price hovers just under 8k, and the crypto space is on fire with speculation that the long bear market is finally over. But are we really out of the woods? Let’s examine what may have caused this recent spike, and determine whether it’s time to pop the champagne and celebrate, or if this all just a mirage before yet another drop. First, what happened on 4/12? There are a couple different theories about what triggered this. In no particular order, they include: Institutional money getting in on the game: world renowned firms like Soros Fund Management have announced this past week that it will begin trading cryptocurrencies, in spite of Soros himself dismissing cryptocurrencies are recently as January. Venrock (the venture capital fund o...

Chain Death Cryptocurrencies have struggled to gain their footing in 2018 following a barrage of regulatory concerns, hacks, and high-profile scams. While many headlines suggest that this is the beginning of the end for cryptos, the tremendous amount of institutional wealth flowing into the space suggests otherwise. It may get much worse though, before it gets better.   Still, it is important for any investor to recognize the hurdles ahead. Many cryptocurrencies, including King Bitcoin, still face blockchain destroying vulnerabilities. While the recent additions of the Lightning Network and SegWit removed some of the most daunting concerns of a potential ‘Chain Death,’ the threat still exists, and it’s more than just Bitcoin at risk. Bitcoin vs. Bitcoin Cash Last year’s Chain Death Spiral fears stemmed from the battle between Bitcoin and the Bitcoin Cash hard fork / airdrop. Following the August fork, miners migrated between the two coins, testing the profitability of each. As min...

I recently read an article titled “Why America Can’t Regulate Bitcoin”. It literally blew my mind. I will provide a brief summary of the contents but the reader should read the entire article to understand just how accurate the author is - https://twitter.com/Beautyon_ and how much diligence and research into case law was performed. Basically, the reason you can’t regulate Bitcoin is because it is hexadecimal code which is just text. This code and the blockchain can be printed on paper, if desired. The text is protected by Freedom of Speech in the US Constitution. In order to regulate Bitcoin you have to remove the First Amendment. This article references case law which was proven in courts in the United States that Bitcoin is not money and judges had to throw out money laundering cases using Bitcoin because it’s not money. At some point soon we may see exchanges denominate Bitcoin as zero dollars since it is not money.   Interested in learning more? Explore our  Connecticut...
