Great answer! This site is a real step function over hodl or any of the other manual trackers I have been using. How are people buying alt coins? Specifically what is the top Alt exchanges on your platform? I.e is it binance, bitterex or an

I 100% agree. I’ve been playing around with the APIs these exchanges offer. All of them have incredibly annoying issues and limitations. I just did my tax with bitcoin.tax but I will have to check out yax and see how it compares. Bitcoin.ta

UX looks amazing guys, great job. Some feedback about the performance page: 1) It would be nice to see some information about what exchanges/wallets my coins are sitting on. i.e I use Binance/Bitterex, I could have purchased XMR o

I just used bitcoin.tax to calculate my 2017 returns, it has a terrible UX and also does not offer a real time portfolio monitoring service. They also have grander ambitions to offer a portfolio investment service.

Well if you link via the API, they give you an overview of your portfolio.

Can you share any information about how people are using your product? I'd be curious to know the following: 1) Are most off your users from the USA or international? 2) What are the most popular exchanges people link with you? i.e is

Love the concept. Do you guys have any plans for a mobile app? Update: Oh I just read through your FAQ and you plan on launching one soon. Any ETA on that?

Fellow greencard holder here, I’m in the exact same boat with coinbase. I’m booking an appointment at the dmv to get a new ID card just for this. It really sucks.

True, but if you are going to be that paranoid how easy is it for you to take your gold across the border? “According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), it is legal to travel with any amount of cash or other monetary instr

The big problem I have with startup equity compensation these days is the time it takes to get to get to liquidity. Going from founding to an IPO takes what, 8-10 years? Even assuming things go that well if your equity doesn’t have terms li

I agree with a lot of your comments on this post but I'm not sure if you want to include LTC in that list of examples. I can see BTC and ETH having long term value but I'm not so sure about LTC. LTC'S main claim to fame seems

I’d also add that buffet hates the concept of gold. Aside from a socially acceptable form of modern middle class gambling in my opinion the primary use case of crypto currency is a store of value. Aside from the amount of time it’s been in

In regards to bitcoin I believe he is correct. About 97% of the activity appears to be people on exchanges: https://seekingalpha.com/amp/article/4122695-bitcoin-series-... This mainly appears to be due to transact

Sure. I had been waiting for someone else to do this as it seems very obvious to me. In the above comment I didn’t even get into the big war that’s looming between Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat for video ad revenue. I also didn’t talk abou

This article is very anecdotal and it doesn’t talk about the underlying reasons for why niche communities are making a big comeback. It mentions that Patreon has risen in popularity but doesn’t talk about the YouTube adpoocalypse or the rea

Apart from writing blog posts another good way to get clients is to give relevant high quality talks at meetups and conferences. This has worked for me on multiple occasions. Pretty much every conference I have spoken at as a consultant has

Again, playing devils advocate, but plenty of cash heavy small businesses (bars, restaurants, laundry services) keep things off the books to avoid taxes and get away with it. So why would this be any different with crypto? Instead of a shoe
