Okay, so regarding this safe harbor bullshit: If you don't know which allocation strategy to use, why not just create all the different versions of the letters of intent, and worry about which one suits you in 2025? Timestamp them. Notarize them. Who gives a fuck?

as long as you can prove a cost basis, ignoring it seems fine. Otherwise what's going to happen is when you trade some bitcoin for a property for your family, education, healthcare, or you die and your family inherits your bitcoin, then you'll pay tax with a $0 cost basis.

Nah? Sounds like you have a lot of experience with the IRS then. What do you think is going to happen by ignoring it?

neither do i. Other than buying some coldcards that required me to spend bitcoin because they don't take cash from the country I live in, I haven't sold a single satoshi since 2017
