Uh yes it does my dude. What on earth do YOU think it comes from? Every entry on a blockchain is cryptographically signed with a hash of the previous entry, it's literally the most basic and easy to understand part of the whole nonsense process.

look, nobody knows the term's origins for sure, our records don't go back that far... but it's clearly either derived from "cryptosporidium" (odd coincidence that the popular term "shitcoin" also has poo-related roots, isn't it?), or "cryptofascist" (as it's beloved by so many self-described "libertarians" on their journey towards becoming full-fledged nazis). get out of here with this "cryptography" nonsense, nobody knows wha tthe hell that is, especially crypto fans

1099 NEC to declare mining income. 8949 with 1040 Schedule D if you sold any for cash to account for capital gains tax rules between when you mined and cashed out.

Yes it's a mess and a bunch of audit flags, gl.

He offered to pay me in bitcoin back in 2012. Would have been about $30,000 worth when they were around $8 each. Calculated it at it's peak and it would have been worth around $250,000,000. I wish I would have accepted the offer. Only because I would have bought so much LSD with it (the only thing you could really buy back then) and would have a wallet worth cyber-millions but not knowing what the password was because my brain would be fried. Now I only have a partially fried brain that only has to recover passwords every couple of months.

1099-NEC is typically a form you get from people who paid you to do something, not something you would create for yourself. (Like receiving a W-2, but for non-employees.)

1040 Schedule 1 line 8z, baby. They've even got a blank there in case you feel like writing down the exact crimes you did. (Assuming that you do crimes as a hobby, not your primary trade or business - if that's the case then you're looking at a Schedule C.)

In all seriousness, that's the catchall line for income that doesn't seem to fit anywhere else, so if you needed to report mining income, that line would probably work. Just getting it included in your taxable income is the important part, less so which line you put it on.

But if the coins are technically just mined and not actually sold or transferred aren’t they technically worthless?

Like what value you you realistically assign to it? It’s 26k today or 27k or 23k or whatever.

Do you just assign whatever the value was on Dec 31st at midnight? Or do you say when it was procured you assign the value on that day to it?

Like if I went gold panning and had 1oz of gold from that I wouldn’t declare it as anything till I sold it because I could keep it for myself and it not have any value.

Right?

It's regular income based on the value at time of creation and then capital gains income or loss for the difference between that point and the price at time of sale (in the US)

Looks like about 6.3 million.

I have some problems with the presentation, it's essentially a two hour lecture with the camera pointed on him, and I disagree on a few fiddly points but it really is a fantastic primer on NFTs and crypto in general. The kind of thing I could easily hand off to anyone saying they want to get into crypto to convince them it’s a bad idea.

Yep. If you mine a coin on November 27th, you're supposed to recognize ordinary income for that coin at whatever the fair market value was on November 27th, and pay income tax on that value. That value becomes your "basis" in that property, and then whenever you sell or trade it, the difference between that basis and whatever you sell it for becomes gain or loss, and you then pay taxes on any gain (or offset the loss against your other sources of income).

What happens if you mine a bunch of coins in December 2021, hold onto them through 12/31, and then the market craters and their value crashes to a tenth of what it was when you mined them? You're hosed, because you had a bunch of taxable income in 2021 that you now owe taxes on, but now you can't sell the coins for enough cash to cover your tax bill.

Some may think that sounds like a bad way to do things, but I assure you that it's actually fine, because cryptocurrency is a blight upon society and its participants deserve to be brutalized by the IRS

I buy feet pics🍆

One thing to also amplify is that when Blotto says "trade", that includes anything outside of that specific coin. So trading from USD to BTC to Tether to shitcoin to Tether to BTC before cashing out to USD at 1% of the original value all count as taxable transactions each step of the way. You brought BTC, it climbed up 25%, you sell for Tether, buy shitcoin, that falls a billion points the next year, and buy a single tether so you can afford the bus ride home, congratulations, you've locked in your capital gains liability at the second step with none of the capital. A ton of people found out about this the hard way.

I do actually have some questions about mining this poo poo on a home PC.

The first is, how much does it actually get you? "Not enough to cover the resulting electric bills," I know that much, but I'm looking for an actual number.

The second is, "is there a threshold for this poo poo below which the IRS says to not worry about it because it's not worth tracking?" Like if I sell off some old Magic cards for twenty bucks, the IRS isn't going to give a poo poo, but if I unload a full set of Moxes then they're probably going to want to know and get their beak wet. Is there a lower limit beyond which they just shrug and say "don't sweat it, buddy" for Bitcoin?

Here's the payout math on Foundry USA, the largest mining pool for Bitcoin. Seems as good a source as any.

Not sure how realistic 1 Petahash a day is, I'm guessing that's like, RTX-3090 farm levels of hashrate.
