Out of country friend who was visiting me in the states reimbursed me for his hotel/flights in crypto (~2k) which was sent to my wallet. I’m planning to withdraw to coinbase then to my bank but want to make sure I’m doing everything right. Do I need to declare anything or do something special? Would i need to pay taxes on the reimbursement? Usually when I get reimbursed with Venmo or PayPal it seems pretty straightforward but not as familiar with rules around crypto

Huge btc short position in market right now, I expect a lot of liquidity issues to come to light soon. Bitcoin should end up below 30k and stay there as new resistance soon. You all doubt my previous posts but all these bumps to 37-39k are fake bounces from retail buying the dip. Defi is gonna unravel. Do you honestly believe the 10-40% defi interest rates were risk free. It’s all paid by stablecoin printing backed by the assumption that crypto prices would keep appreciating
