If I invested 30k in Ethereum and when my investment goes up to 60k, and I sell 30k just to get my initial investment back, will I be taxed on that? I live in the United States and just bought Ethereum this year.
I secure my capital and enjoy the rest, that is my plan and that could be a sort of limitation. As it guarantees nothing in here, we have to be smart and take the opportunity while still there. May other people keep saying HOLD, well, I don't think so. I'm making myself secured because as these people get wrong their prediction, they won't help you instead, right?
So I suggest to you is to do what you think is right, sell the half and secure your capital is a good idea. Don't listen to those you say just hold, they just want you to miss the opportunity and mess you up.
