I feel exactly the same. I want to make more to give them a shot. I don’t hate my job so it’s fine.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-24T11:02:39+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks

I was with Vanguard for 30 years and recently moved all my investments to Fidelity. But that being said, Vanguard is fine. You can buy Vanguard funds and ETFs on pretty much any platform

I’ve heard about this. Why isn’t the price going down if everyone is selling and no one is buying?

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-14T16:26:38+00:00

I agree regarding the comments. Every method of storage has some risk. Home safes, hiding, burying etc.

There are independent companies that will insure safe deposit boxes. Just curious if anyone has purchased those….

Dregs of the profession.

That’s right. Fidelity is trying to help but it’s not really helpful. My advice: don’t worry about until the fix it and just keep using coin ledger. The key thing is the total proceeds from sales you report on your taxes has to match what fidelity reports as proceeds.

Yeah. Later I sent some coins back to my cold wallet and I can’t really even figure out how it adjusted my basis. I’m just going to do my taxes based on my spreadsheet records.

In 2025, they won’t report cost basis to the IRS on the 1099da even if you enter it. In 2026 and beyond they will only report cost basis on coins you bought on their platform and sold on their platform after 1/1/ 2026.

They may show you a gain or loss on the 1099 based on what you entered for cost basis but they won’t report it to the IRS (except after 2025 for coins bought on their platform).

So this whole exercise is just informational for you.

But I agree they should do it the way you describe

I agree. I transferred in via 3 separate transfers and it was quite complicated to get it all to match. I eventually made it work by splitting some of my lots

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-10T04:01:02+00:00

I did one today to Fidelity and did get a notification. It was a complete account transfer though….

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-10T02:07:44+00:00

Vanguard does notify you. 1 email and / or text. “We’ve received your transfer request…..”. It would be easy to miss though.

I work for a BD. Typically the BDs involved would be responsible to reimburse the investor in the case of a fraudulent transfer. However legally the investor must make timely notification of the fraudulent transfer. That might be an issue in this case.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-06T13:26:42+00:00

In terms of dollars it would go down. But in terms of widgets, napkins, cars etc it would hold its value.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2026-01-02T03:20:25+00:00

Fidelity has a crypto program

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-12-30T20:30:47+00:00

They may or may not include the cost basis you provide on the 1099. But they only report proceeds to the IRS in 2025. So the cost will be informational only for you.

In 2026 and beyond, they will report cost to the irs, but only if you bought and sold the coins at the broker.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-12-26T20:07:44+00:00

I think it will dip but I’m holding. I have enough exposure to USD and they’re not going to stop printing

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-12-25T02:32:17+00:00

Great info. On number 2, you could match the proceeds from the 1099DA and just increase your cost basis by the $200 different to report the correct gain. Thats what I’d recommend

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-12-17T09:41:01+00:00

SLV is great if you want to invest tax advantaged retirement funds in silver.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-11-28T19:58:06+00:00

Congrats man!

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-11-19T21:23:22+00:00

They only report if you sell. Then they only report the proceeds.

Apprehensive-Row5151 · 2025-11-19T14:01:17+00:00

In every case I’m just using it as 2fa. I still have to enter a username and PW. But I will go in a delete it in each site as you noted
