#SGB (#FLR) #Airdrop was September 16th.

It's November 5th, and kraken says "significantly later"

If you are on Kraken or other late adopters, and expect to receive the airdrop in 2022 I'd suggest closely monitoring the price and contact a tax professional for planning.
Starting price on exchanges was $0.28 so some will recognize ordinary income at $0.28.

Currently we are seeing it trade at $0.45, a 60% increase.

1,000 SGB received can be $280 in income for those who claimed on early exchanges OR $450 if kraken #DropsItAll right now.
For someone with an $XRP balance of 20,000 this means: (3060 $SGB)

A $857 taxable event or if $SGB gets to a $1 before
the kraken releases (pun intended) $3060.
Those who have small balances can offset this gain with excess capital losses.

This means if you are in a position to take a loss on a #crypto its tax advantaged to take that loss in the year $SGB becomes taxable to you.

$3,000 in losses/yr can be used against ordinary income.
Other's with more significant gains should reach out to me here and schedule a consultation. corridor-consulting.com/engage-us/

H.R.3684 Infrastructure bill passed.

Digital Assets are now covered securities.

Reporting will be ushered in for all crypto brokers to report to IRS data on activity from 1/1-12/31/23 of all crypto transfers to other non US brokers (private wallets/offshore)

#XRP #SEC #Ripple ImageImage
Big change. More info to come as I look through more specific language.

congress.gov/bill/117th-con…
If you haven’t already give @jchervinsky a follow, I’m sure you won’t regret it in the following few days as he likely explains potential impact this could legally have on #DeFi and Crypto as a whole for US based citizens.

Flare ( $FLR ) AIRDROP for US CITIZENS who hold $XRP.....

IS taxable per IRS Rev.Ruling 2019-24
irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/r…

This ruling is authoritative guidance for the same factual circumstances outlined in the ruling, which fits the same factual circumstance $FLR is airdropped.
So here's what happens if FLR Airdropped right now?

1) $FLR trading price at time you receive ability to send it is the FMV you recognize as taxable gain.

Ex. 10,000 FLR @ $2 = $20,000 Taxable Value.

Your basis in your coins are now $2/FLR

shortly $FLR goes to $10, you sell
$10*10,000 =
$100,000- Selling Price
- 20,000 (your basis you were taxed on already) = $80,000 STCG taxed at ordinary income rates.

Hold for 1 year 1 day after airdrop =$80,000 LTCG taxed at preferential tax rates max 20% (+3.8% if you are subject to Net Investment Income Tax)

#SEC case against #Ripple is not dropped no matter what you are hearing. They progressed today by appointing attorneys to represent the defendants. The case is not marked as terminated on the court docket either. You can look this up yourself, and get an account to search SDNY.
Contacts removed for their security from trolls. Image
Progress made this far. Image

Common sense- if an individual thinks they'll need money in the next 12 months, due to economic uncertainty(COVID,lockdowns,SEC) they should convert to USD or their national currency to pay their predefined debt (mortgage, car pmts, etc...) Don't use #Crytpo as a bank account.1/6
I fully expect 2021 to be a more crazy year than 2020 for the markets and local economys.Biden Tax increases are coming at a time when they will do the most damage to individuals. Unemployment is very high in USA (even for the rigged metrics). Increase to corporate taxes only 2/6
Hurts the little guys (start ups, mom and pops) who reap their sole wellbeing from their own labor. Minimum wage increases further ruins their ability since they lack the economy of scale granted to large corps/franchises. They will be priced out of the market due to gov. 3/6

This is now a competitive advantage for #ripple, further their entire management team has been working with #SEC, #banks, and governance teams for years. Another advantage. I'm hard pressed to think they are not comfortable with each other at this point in the game. Not #Libra 6/
We literally supply the world with US dollars. A strong dollar is having bad effects for other countries (World is in a global recession, soon to be a great depression here if we keep printing the world's currency). Why? The dollar is weakening, and that's not good for 2/
us as importers ( weak dollar = paying more for goods imported to USA). How do you solve this issue? When demand for dollars is high, but US production is low, and we import a majority of our goods and you don't want to ruin your economy to benefit another? 3/
