I think I'm breaking even in my portfolio since September of last year... Any thoughts on taking the loss on certain crypto in order to recognize the short term loss to offset my overall ST gain?

I believe that based on the last time I checked the guidance, the IRS was saying that each time you trade a crypto currency for another, it's considered a taxable event. Because I went on a trading frenzy in early 2018, I had a few thousands in realized gain on my last transactions, which I will have to recognize gain unless I sell the loss cypto to offset that and recognize loss this year. I'm sort of concerned that no one will want to trade for my loss crypto (audiocoin) before the end of the year lol...

I was also looking at this: https://www.coindesk.com/owe-irs-crypto-crypto-trades

So this is concerning like-kind exchange treatment. So I think that I was have to trade the Alt coin I have back to to Bitcoin in order to recognize the loss because the last transaction I did with it was for a relatively significant gain.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
