🚨 LIVE CRYPTO TAX AMA THIS FRIDAY: LIMITED SPOTSIf you trade crypto, this is information you do not want to miss.👉 Register now (free, live):https://streamyard.com/watch/YKQVzjJtqaS8This week’s AMA breaks down how the IRS actually tracks crypto today, including:• Palantir and blockchain analysis• CARF & DAC8 cross-border reporting• What foreign exchanges may report• Why “just using DeFi” doesn’t eliminate tax exposureSeats are limited and this AMA.
