Questions:
have you ever cashed out a quite substantial (meaning life changing after paid taxes) amount of money to fiat ?
Or do you spend it monthly from your savings using tools like prepaid cards ?
The only time I really spent some crypto was with a bitsa card as an experiment but it was just a couple of flight tickets worth.
i guess when my savings will reach a life-changing money i will have to go to process of selling those to an exchange, have them credit on a bank account and ringing all the fiscal police alerts and checking with a tax consultant.
Just curious if someone already did that.
Don't think it's worth enough for now, to go multiple time through that hassle.
Nope, even not If I do not have to pay any taxes for Bitcoin kept longer that 356 days. I am still accumulating every month a bit, no matter where the price is.
I cashed out a few times to make some significant purchases. While it is hard to look back at what that bitcoin would be worth now, you have to live your life, and I don't regret my choices.
I had a plan and it worked out. I'm stil invested but with part the "winnings" I was able to pay off the mortgage, sell old place, build a new house and in the end execute a retirement plan ... It took a couple of years but yeah, life changing! 😅
Best advice I can give: DO NOT DAY TRADE! Its an investment - know what you hold - don't let yourself to get greedy - and make a plan to take out profit.
Yeah , thanks, good that it worked out so well for you.
I put for the long term, but way less money (it was starting to get really interesting at the peak)
I cashed out exactly the fiat money i put in.
maybe i'd like a credit card with the balance still kept in bitcoin and converted just in case.
With my bitsa once you sent an amount, it's suddenly converted
