[Prices as of 12:00 PM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( YOUR GUIDE TO CRYPTO TAXES ð Every year, we all have to play a game. Itâs called Guess-Your-Taxesâ¢. The opponent in this game is the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It goes a little something like this:
[Source: @GeorgeKamel]( Itâs bullsh*t. I know 𤬠To make matters worse⦠crypto makes Guess-Your-Taxes even harder. We decided to hit up some smart crypto friends to see what they were doing. They all said the same thingâ¦use crypto tax software. So we took a trip up Figure It Out Mountainâ¢ï¸ to find out everything we could. We tried out different tools like [Awaken](, [CoinTracker](, and more. Each one was put under the Milk Road Stress Test to see how well they tracked data. We did different things with crypto like: - Buy it - Stake it - Bridge it It was the real-life âBop Itâ game (the real ones know). Then we created a [guide]( and ranked each tool based on our experience. Think of it like your cheat sheet for the annual tax pop quiz. For all my fellow Olympic-gold-medal-procrastinators who havenât filed taxes yet⦠check the guide, study it, and [bookmark it](. It just might save you a few headaches this year. For all of you who have filed taxes⦠Kudos! Donât get too comfy though. Next yearâs tax season will come knocking before you know it. So check out the guide, study it, and [bookmark it]( anyway. Your future self will thank you.

We visited the Milk Road âWisdom Warehouseâ. Itâs a bank of old tweets, blogs, videos, and explainers weâve saved over the years. Only the best of the best. And while dusting off the cobwebs, we found a hidden gem from 2022. Itâs called [âInfinite Regretâ]( and is written by Zeneca, an NFT trader. Here are the 5 biggest takeaways: 1/ Crypto is full of âInfinite Regretâ Did you buy a token that ended up being a scam? Regret. Did you sell too early and miss the pump? Regret. Did you sell too late and end up round-tripping your profits? Regret. Did you miss out on an [airdrop]( worth thousands because you were too busy using the 24837438 other protocols that exist? Regret. Were you asleep while a new token did a 100x? Regret. Crypto is FULL of Infinite Regret. Itâs the only industry where investors can get a 50x return, and still be mad. And while we all think weâll have no regrets (like this guy)...
[Source: OddityMall]( ⦠the reality is, youâll probably feel regret at some point in your crypto career. But hereâs why thatâs a good thing⦠2/ Infinite Regret = Infinite Opportunities Yes, it sucks seeing everyone (but you) hit 100x returns. You might even start thinking that youâre allergic to profits. But the fact that these insane money-making opportunities even exist is a very, very good thing⦠It means youâre roughly in the right place, at roughly the right time. 3/ Crypto investing is a numbers game Thereâs a TON of luck involved in this game. Anyone that says otherwise is a damn liar. But thereâs also a lot of skill too. This includes your ability to research projects, evaluate them (i.e. know whatâs likely to succeed and what isnât), and then place bets accordingly. ^^ This is what you need to focus on improving. And after a while, you realize itâs all a numbers game. The more educated guesses you make, the more the odds will slant in your favor. This still does not guarantee success, but it guarantees a better chance of success. 4/ You will lose money sometimes This is the cost of tuition for crypto college. But hereâs the thing. The goal isnât to be happy when you make money and upset when you lose money. (Sounds counterintuitive, I know). The goal is to: - Be happy when you play well (i.e. did good research, found a hidden gem, etc.) - Be upset when you play poorly (i.e. FOMO invest, fall for a scam, etc.)  5/ In order to thrive, you need to survive If you go all in on a couple of projects that turn to dust, not only do you lose your money, but you also lose your chance at future opportunities. Itâs a double whammy. So donât feel the need to FOMO into whatever hot project your favorite neighborhood influencer is talking about. There are no shortages of opportunities (not anytime soon at least), so donât let the Infinite Regret consume you. Take your time to really learn and understand the space. As they say - weâre all gonna make it.
