They weren’t with me through the highs and lows of HODL why should they get a cut 😭
PLUS….. the CPA fee……screwed, unless everyone’s CPA is way cheaper than mine
I’m just hoddling…..I want my children to have what I worked hard for, I’ll have them keep it in a family trust and take distributions as needed. Not sure if the step up In cost basis applies to children. However hoping someone will do away with capital gains…. Eternal optimist
Simply Awesome
That doesn’t really make sense. You’ll still have to pay taxes when you receive the distributions or the “lifetime income” you mentioned. And when you pass away, everything goes to the charity. It seems like the main beneficiaries in this setup are the IRS, the charity, and your law firm — which gets to handle the paperwork and gain a new client.
So you can also create your own charity 🤔 and then when u die your kids or wife get the $ 😅
Excellent video
great piece of advise! how does it work for non resident alien?
Sounds like a DAF. It's not truly bullet proof from an asset protection perspective though even if it's an irrevocable trust as it's onshore and judges can order judgements, albeit rare. Also unless the wallet is legally tagged via KYB etc to the trust, the IRS/government can just say it's still yours personally and tax you anyway, especially if you the individual have access and control over any wallets instead of the trustee/administrator etc. …. I am working on solutions for this for everyone though.
So if the IRS AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE has been dismantled … who’s gonna do the collecting?
