Wrapped BTC tax event
https://youtu.be/bL7UlQjf2ec?si=PtSbADOQNoc1JnCw I found this YT video after our discussion regarding moving large amounts of BTC.This guy belongs to a crypto tax co. He’s saying that moving your BTC into a wrapped version is not a taxable event. I’ve not found anything else yet to corroborate or contradict.

@Juri Bastiaans unfortunately I havent found anyone yet not requiring $$ for an appt. I may need to ask whoever it was that UIG had on, I dont recall their name, and see if they want to charge also. I asked grok to find something to corroborate their tax claim and it said... No Specific Guidance on Wrapping: Recent IRS documents, such as the Instructions for Form 1099-DA (effective for 2025 reporting) and final regulations on digital asset broker reporting (IR-2024-178), explicitly exclude wrapping/unwrapping from mandatory broker reporting requirements. They list it alongside other non-reportable events like liquidity provision or staking, but this only means exchanges don't have to report it on forms—it does not mean it's non-taxable. Taxpayers must still self-report if it's a disposition. The IRS FAQs (updated as of 2024) and Publication 544 (Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets) do not address wrapped tokens directly, reinforcing the gray area.
🧠 6 Mental Frameworks That Shaped My DeFi Journey
Hey everyone! Wanted to share some powerful insights from a recent discussion about the habits and beliefs that make a difference in this space. These aren't just theories – they're practices that have been battle-tested through market crashes, drawdowns, and the daily grind of DeFi. 1. Guard Your Attention Like Your Private Keys šŸ“± Screen time is the silent killer of focus. I've noticed that excessive scrolling shrinks my attention span and makes me irritable – not ideal when you need laser focus for DeFi. Set boundaries with your devices. Your attention is your most valuable asset. 2. Define Your Purpose Crystal Clear šŸŽÆ Know exactly WHY you're here. When you have a definite purpose, every action becomes intentional. Ask yourself: What's your endgame in this space? 3. Unshakeable Self-Confidence šŸ’Ŗ This one's non-negotiable. Through every crash, every setback, every "rug" – maintain absolute faith in your ability to succeed. Not blind optimism, but deep belief in your capacity to learn, adapt, and overcome. 4. Program Your Subconscious for Success šŸ—£ļø Your self-talk matters more than you think. Replace "I'm gonna fail" with "I'm gonna kill it." Simple? Yes. Powerful? Absolutely. Daily positive affirmations aren't woo-woo – they're mental programming that shapes your actions. 5. The Golden Formula: No Negative Thoughts ✨ Here's a game-changer from the discussion: "Don't feel or think negative about yourself or anybody else." This isn't toxic positivity – it's about maintaining a constructive outlook that keeps you moving forward. Over time, you'll naturally remember the lessons more than the losses. 6. Your Specialized Knowledge is Your Edge šŸ”‘ Let's be real – what we do in DeFi isn't easy. The fact that you're here, showing up daily, learning the protocols, understanding the risks – you're developing expertise that 99% of people don't have. That's valuable. Own it. The Bottom Line: Success in DeFi isn't just about finding the right protocols or timing the market. It's about developing the mental frameworks that keep you sharp, focused, and resilient through all market conditions.

I've cut back immensely on social media. I know why I'm here and keep reminding myself. I'm still working on the self confidence and am much better than I used to be. I've altered my self talk to be more forgiving and positive. I used to have the mindset that self regulation/punishment would make me more driven. I was doing great in the beginning, but had a little setback for about a month. I'm getting back on track now and pushing my way forward🄳

Is there a place to find the entire past zoom videos? The last couple weeks have been bad at work so I couldn't be on the zooms live.

ETH ETF Inflows & Market Analysis Update
Hey DeFi University Skool Community! David here, breaking down a video segment (43:46-47:14) on ETH ETF inflows, market trends, and technical indicators from our Market Review live call earlier today. šŸ“Š What I Covered in the Video We're may potentially see another positive week of ETF inflows while ETH hits resistance at $3850 and with daily RSI at 76 - firmly in overbought territory. The 4H chart could soon be flashing bearish divergence, which typically hints at a short-term sideways move or pullback coming. My take? I'd be taking profits above $4,100 if inflows push us there. Sure, momentum can stay hot for a while, but history shows us that RSI above 70 often marks pause points. šŸ“ Historical Pattern: Looking back at early 2024, we had a roughly 20-day period where RSI on the daily remained above 70 however that marked an immediate term top. Right now at 76 on the daily, we're seeing similar conditions. Keep in mind that RSI can remain overbought for a long time. This doesn't mean ETH suddenly reverses. āš ļø Warning Signal: The potential for bearish divergence on shorter timeframes is particularly interesting - if that were to happen, RSI would be making lower highs and lows while price keeps pushing higher. This usually means we get relief through consolidation. šŸ’” Bottom Line: Yes, inflows could help ETH break resistance, but endless rips aren't sustainable. Lock in those gains strategically! šŸ“ˆ Current Market Snapshot (July 21, 2025) šŸ”„ Price Action: ETH is trading between $3,760-$3,850, hitting a 2025 high of $3,848 today - that's a 26% pump in just a week thanks to the ETF buzz. šŸ’° Inflow Numbers: Absolutely historic with $2.18B last week according to Bitcoin.com, and some reports showing $4.39B in flows ending today. The surge continues with no reversal in sight. šŸ“Š Technical Readings: Daily RSI readings are all over the place - TradingView shows 63.4 but other analysts are noting extreme levels near 90. When you see 6-7 days above 70, that's typically when tops begin to form.

Is it just me? I could hear Jake speaking just fine, but not David. I turned up both my speakers and the video volume all the way up, but still could not make out what David was saying. The other videos are normal🤷
Spritz issue
Are any of yall familiar with Spritz? I set up a spritz card 8 days ago and sent 901 usdc to it using base network. It showed it successfully went through, also shows successful on basenet. A few days ago i tried using it and was denied saying theres no funds. I logged in and sure enough, my usdc was gone. I've used their chat feature, sent the transaction hash and they said it does not appear like the receiving wallet address is from spritz so they will look into it. Has anyone else dealt with this? They said it will be Monday before they can maybe respond with an update. I'm about to throw up trying to figure out if it was something I did wrong.
