OPINION: The Wash Sale Rule Should Be Applied to Crypto

OPINION: If the IRS Has Software For Tallying Crypto Profits and Losses… They Should Share it
The average crypto trader who traded crypto with any frequency is likely to fail at properly reporting their crypto profits and losses because the task of calculating everything is overly complex.
