While the rest of you fling shit at each other, here is a proposal that I think will work, for more than one reason: Capital Gains Taxes, NASFAQ, and (You)
The current tax system is butt. There is no sales tax on stonks. Having a tax on BUYING stocks is just going to make people hoard liquid, not make them think twice before selling. Only poorfags don't think twice before selling. And if you're buying a <10% dip on a coin that pays 10% divs...why bother? So the current system will just lead to "Holo/Gura/Marine Collector 3000, The Game."
You pay taxes on stonks when you sell them, if you made money, not when you buy them. If you lost money on selling them, you get a deduction. I don't want to turn this into TurboTax: Hololive Edition, so we'll just treat them as tax credits - the same way you earn credits from sending superchats right now.
Let's say the capital gains tax is 20%. All of these numbers are hypothetical. Please wait before you jump down my throat for the math being "wrong", I will explain myself.
>Coin A adjusts to $5000 on Day 1
>Coin A adjusts to $5500 on Day 2
>Coin A adjusts to $4000 on Day 3
>Coin A adjusts to $5000 on Day 4
You bought on Day 1 and sold on Day 2:
>You pay 20% tax on your $500 profit, $100.
You bought on Day 1 and sold on Day 3. but why?
>You earn a 20% tax credit on your LOSS of $1500, $300.
You bought on Day 1 and sold on Day 4 OR you bought on Day 3 and sold on Day 4
>You pay 20% in taxes on your $1000 profit, $200.
This is easy to implement. The devs don't have to track anything new. The most recent "all time" price we can see on NASFAQ is the price right BEFORE the most recent adjustment. Just compare the sale price with that. No tracking of what you actually paid. Are you selling right after a moon?
ie. 9/6 for Marine says $25k, that was her price this morning right before adjustment. You sell today, you pay 20% on your profit from whatever she's at right now vs. that price. 9/5 says $26k, that was her price yesterday before she dipped.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
