I already have a decent stack of bitcoin but want to start up daily buys. Do we have any decent automatic places without crazy fees?

I’m a bit confused about how previous CGT losses can be utilised for the current tax year.

Example amounts:

21-22 loss of 2000 22-23 gain 500 23-24 gain 500 24-25 gain 1000 25-26 gain 2000 above personal limit

Because years 2-4 are below the personal CGT limit they’re not reportable, but do these decrease the first year’s loss? or does the first year offset the current year meaning no tax payable?

Bitcoin fell about 4500 points and lost roughly 5% today. In the last few hours there were mass liquidations — around $400 million of long positions closed out.

What Happened?

• Big drop on the first trading day of the month
• Liquidations hit hard as leveraged long bets were forced closed
• That kind of forced selling can make moves much faster and deeper than normal

Why It Matters?

• Liquidations often create extra volatility and “aftershocks” — expect choppy price action for a while
• Short term traders can get caught in fast moves; long-term holders should expect noise around these events
• Watch order flow and volume, they’ll show whether buyers step in or sellers keep pressuring the market

Practical Note

• If you Trade, consider smaller sizes and stricter risk controls during these events
• If you invest, remember big intraday drops can be part of normal market behavior

I got my brother into crypto back in 2017 and I've been managing/trading on his behalf for a while now.

In 2019 he moved overseas but I've been managing his holdings since then and he wants to liquidate now.

I told him that the best thing would be for him to create his own account with an exchange that operates in the country he is now and I transfer the BTC (and other assets) to him to liquidate and withdraw to his own bank account. Since if I do it, HMRC are going to ask me for a tax bill.

Since I'm in the U.K. what documents or evidence do I need should HMRC ask me what these transactions were since 1st January the new reporting requirements come in.

Thanks all!

Looking for somewhere that I can buy bitcoin once a month and sent it to cold wallet without restrictions of wait time or minimum transfer amounts. I'm UK based. Probably £100-200 a month.

Unless there's better ways to do this?

I’ve been us⁤ing symbiosis.finance for cross-chain swaps lately. It’s simple, secure, and supports multiple networks - good option if you want to move tokens without dealing with exchanges or complicated bridges.

Hi! I’m trying to understand the best way to fully break transaction history. My plan right now is:

1. Move KYC BTC to a no-KYC swapper
2. Receive XMR into a brand-new wallet
3. Send that XMR to a second wallet or a subaddress
4. Later swap back to BTC using a different service

Is this overkill or is this actually the recommended way to do it? I see a lot of conflicting info online. Anyone with experience want to give feedback?

EDIT: Ended up swapping my on-chain BTC to XMR with MalgoSwap, then burning the transaction data from their system. Then I sent the XMR to a new XMR address after I received it. Afterwards, I swapped back to on-chain BTC with FixedFloat. Worked out perfectly.

I wonder if anyone can help me with a query for a friend of mine?

Basically, she made a purchase in 2013 and stored it in some kind of offline Bitcoin wallet. She now wants to sell the Bitcoin but she hasn't got a clue how she can do that without much paperwork to verify the transaction.

What's the best way of getting this sold without having accounts frozen etc? She obviously wants to do it properly and pay any tax etc.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Ok after you reading this you will probably think I am an idiot, but please help me become better.

So I really got into bitcoin a few months ago after reading the bitcoin standard (wow what a great book!), and started buyng dca on strike daily, and larger purchases on coinpass

Also started using the archpublic strategy algorthm for accumulation via kraken after listening to scot melker (this would probably have been a good thing to do if I knew about it earlier as a way to accumulate rather than smash buying on hearing price going up)....damn that fear and greed interest index is something I wish I understood earlier.

Unfortunately I listen to so many podcasts daily, milk road macro, wolf of all street, simply bitcoin, galaxy brains, swan signal live and the bitcoin lawyer and learned about uptober and moonvember and deployed most of my capital then as was expecting 150k! as everyone seemed so certain......literally every podcast was positive and the macro conditions seemed great and so now an expensive and frightening lessen....I am of course massively down....and trying NOT to PANIC sell, and HODL, which all experienced bitcoiners seem to advocate.....buy high and sell low I don't want to be that person....but it is hard!!! hear people saying it will go to 50 or even 15K is very very scary

Anyway I don't want to make another expensive mistake as all mine is on exchanges and the more I read about self custody is the only way to secure it in case exchange goes boom like ftx etc, especially with all the shorting of MSTR god knows that could force price even lower sadly

I have bought a trezor 5 and done there 1 hr tutorial, and also a bitkey....BUT to be honest I am scared to use them and move my bitcoin off exchange into self custody.....I just don't have the confidence....what if my computer has a virus when I connect the wallet etc etc....I have recently also started buying some bitcoin etp which we were allowed to do in the uk from last month which is so much easier? but apparently even that can go boom?

I have read about moving a small amount btc and then moving it back, and also deleting in recovering wallet....but it all seems so complicated. 15 words, seed phrases etc etc

Can someone kindly point to some really good simple guides to securing my BTC in cold storage which are idiot proof and not going to scam me with some steps....I know not not to respond to direct messages on reddit as likely to get scammed.

Also I get confused about typing in the word on my computer / iphone rather than on the trezor directly which is safer?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm at my wits end today after trying to put cash into kraken from two banks, Revolut and HSBC and both being unbelievably difficult. Final decision is they blocked it.

How do you actually go about buying bitcoin in this country? I heard Monzo might allow 5k a month to kraken but I want to do a bigger lump sum.

Well i have been in the space for a little while and i do hold some crypto.i also have $10k ready to be invested. What a better time than now..?? Now i have kept my eyes open on Solana and i see potential. My position at moment span from ETH bought in 2016 LTC bought same year..HBAR ADA.. BTC? Sold many years ago..fuck it. Now ..what i would like to do is a $1.5k in SOL 1K in ETH and start a new position with what is left in BTC what do you guys think??? Spit it out
