How to sell $300k+ Monero without origin of funds?
How to sell $300k+ Monero without origin of funds?
I bought it in the early days and moved several times due to security reasons. As a result, I'm unable to prove its origin. What would be a viable strategy to cash out?
Plenty of ways to use the Monero to live off of. Then you can save more of your fiat job earnings and buy more Monero!
Going back to fiat you are just empowering dirty bankers.
Places where you can spend Monero and buy anything you need.
Thank you, for the great list. I'm definitely going to try some of these services.
Depends on your country. Consult a tax attorney, likely the situation would be that it counts as pure profit since you can't prove how much you initially spent to acquire it.
Don't move the funds without consulting that tax attorney. You may be able to get long term capital gains consideration if you can show its been sitting for long enough.
He may be able to prove he bought some, but then he traded back and forth and now has 1.27453x more. It's a tax problem cause he may have skipped declaring gains in 2016, or worse , went into stable coin in 2018 after taking a big hit without any profits to be able to cover the undeclared 2017 capital gains.... and so on
Tax is not a problem at all, even if I have to declare the whole amount as pure profit. My main concern is a failed SoF check, which could potentially lead to a block on my crypto.
Dont cash it out. Use monerica and keep it in the circular economy.
Good advice, but unfortunately, I can't buy a house in circular economy yet.
Then my advice would be Don't seal it. Move it to something like Aave and take a "loan" out against it because then you don't have to deal with the capital gains tax.
Depending on how serious you are about "getting government approved", you can do a cross chain analysis on yourself and provide necessary view keys. To prove you bought 10K of Monero, just show that your bank account went down 10K and your Monero account went up 10K (at the past exchange rate). To show you exchanged 5K Monero for 5K Bitcoin, show that 5K Monero was transferred from your wallet at the same time 5K was added to your Bitcoin wallet. It's extremely cumbersome and requires that you have access to all wallets/accounts and is extremely invasive on your privacy, but it can be done if you really want to. Personally, I'd agree about the tax attorney. Often there's a way of "legitimising" grandfathered funds, but expected to be taxed to the max. Alternately, there may be a way of doing crypto loans so that you get the money without actually cashing out.
A crypto loan would be a similar situation, since I still need to prove the origin of the crypto in order to get the loan. I bought it with cash, so I can't provide any real proof that can fulfill a SoF check properly.

I'll also vouch for TheFuzzStones services, he was doing trades at the last Monerokon :)
You could use a site like FixedFloat to slowly convert it to another coin, like Bitcoin. (You just have to use a VPN if you're in the US)
Then you can use something like Bisq to trade it for cash or card or whatever.
You can also convert it to ETH, and send it to an exchange that doesn't ask too many questions, like PayPal.
I've done this last year with 90k with Bisq and 100k with PayPal and I had zero issues.
You still have to declare taxes if you do this method.
It's not a problem. My only concern is a failed source of funds check, which could lead to a block on my cryptocurrency.
Good to see that someone with a considerable amount succeeded in cashing out without issues. Despite that, the PayPal method sounds scary to me. What can I do if they claim a SoF document while blocking my crypto and I fail to pass the check?
It doesn't work that way with PayPal. You receive it and it's in your account. Then it just works like any other transaction. You can buy stuff with the balance, too. So there isn't a need to cash it out all at once. I kept like 40k in it for a long time till I sold it all and banked it in less than a day.
Just be sure to use the ACH as the fees are the worst part.
You can try to convert them to another cryptocurrency via exolix.com, there are no upper limits on the exchange, so a large amount will not be a problem. It is a privacy-focused service and you do not need to register or undergo KYC verification to make transactions.
I'd suggest, keep it and spend it where you can without KYC shit. There's gonna be more ways for you to be able to spend it. If you urgently need the fiat, I guess go localmonero in parts.
Kraken. Just say what youve just said. You bought with cash in early days and now it's worth a lot.
What happens if they claim a SoF document and I fail the check?
No to kraken. It's one of the most horrible KYC exchanges and they also blocked accounts because of btc washing trades (forgot real terminology)
I assume they return your money?
