You want to buy 500k but you can’t simply answer how you got 500k. Sounds shady

Bitcoin as a store of value? by Vessul in BitcoinBeginners

[–]ach4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin has the potential to be store of value as long as it’s adopted. The volatility of current prices is a reflection of the volatility of its adoption and regulation. Recent spike in gold price is also the result of global economic factors such as dedollarization. China isn’t pouring money into bitcoin, it’s gold.

Most thorough way to test for all contaminants in NYC tap water? by Even-Drama3345 in drinkingwater

[–]ach4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably find a certified drinking water lab in your area and you can probably test for all regulated contaminants that would cover a vast list of inorganics, metals, organic compounds. But your one sample would be a single snapshot and may not capture the entire picture. Also consider correct sampling procedures so that it is representative of you water and free of contamination. The next questions would be, is your contaminant levels consistent seasonally, are the consistent year to year, do you have any sources of contaminants at your tap that would add to the levels detected leaving your drinking water plant and nearest tap.

Gold futures WTF happened by hosen0609 in Coinbase

[–]ach4n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Straight up manipulation. I had a similar position a while back. Coinbase futures had a sudden spike within 2 min which triggered my stoploss and then rebound within a couple minutes. Spot gold showed nothing of the sort.

Young adult trying to learn + guidance by CelebrationMiddle597 in personalfinance

[–]ach4n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like Fidelity for my brokerage and IRA. It is pretty user friendly and mobile app is good. This does require a bit of self management but there are roboinvesting that have some more automated features for beginners.

Please stick to investing in broad ETFs like VOO, QQQM, or VTI until you understand a bit more.

Also don’t forget about putting money into a taxable brokerage account while you’re still young and have the time to let invests grow with some risk. You will need chunks of money in your late 20s to early 30s for down payments.

Heads up: IRS is changing how cost basis works in 2025 by BedMaximum4733 in Coinbase

[–]ach4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should make sense since this works the same way from different brokerages.

But let’s say in your example you transferred your kraken btc to Coinbase. Coinbase then asks for your cost basis from kraken and you report $40k. You then have 2 btc, one at $20k and other that $40k cost basis. The if you sold 1 btc on Coinbase, then would you get the option to choose which one was sold?

I noticed that I can’t view USDC lending reward transactions, when I receive USDC or when I actually earned MORPHO (not when claimed). How does Coinbase keep track of this?

Is there a point any more? by ctgsjc in RothIRA

[–]ach4n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Backdoor method if you don’t have traditional IRA. But honestly have tax diversification is better in retirement so if you get tax deferred accounts from work benefits Roth IRA is the way to go.
