Crypto Tax MasterClass -Are You Ready for the Crypto Taxman? Scottsdale

The world changed on May 22 , 2010 (known as Bitcoin Pizza Day) when Bitcoin was first used to purchase 2 pizzas. In just 13 short years everything changed:

The world had a new form of currency ( digital or virtual and not paper) and its meteroic rise as an alternative currency and new asset class gave rise to trillions of dollars of evolving transactions ranging from mining to alternative investments and a way to borrow money without banks.

What didn’t change was our tax laws, leaving no guidance for how this new world of finance would be taxed and how the taxation of crypto would be enforced.- New financial systems- same old tax rules!

I am a retired tax lawyer. I hold a Masters in Tax Law from New York University School of law (1974) and practiced tax law for about 10 years in New York City. I specialized in structuring tax advantaged transactions, pension law and personal tax planning.

For over 30 years I have been a businessman, entrepreneur, and consultant to many businesses. Over the course of my career I have traded various financial instruments including stocks, options, 4x and futures. I became particularly interested in the Crypto markets when I recognized the world changing potential of Crypto.

I quickly realized that there was a real gap in the understanding of how Crypto would be taxed. Crypto was an entirely new industry with nothing but old laws to guide its participants. That’s when my passion for teaching kicked in as I realized that I could help people understand and navigate the myriad of confusing rules and regulations around Crypto.
