I bought it in the early days and moved several times due to security reasons. As a result, I’m unable to prove its origin. What would be a viable strategy to cash out?

      Legally speaking, yes. Thankfully, it’s treated as selling property in this case. It’s not too bad to deal with.

      Though, if you use something like bisq or another p2p exchange, the only persons who will know about the transaction is the seller and the buyer.

        It is true, but if this amount of cash were to suddenly appear on my account, it could raise red flags.

          You could always use PayPal as eth or even the PayPal stable coin. So long as you don’t sell it, you can use the coin as you want and you are only taxed via sales tax. You don’t need ri convert that way, and that way it stays property.

          Though I’ve done tens of thousands via PayPal and ACH’d it into my bank without issue. They don’t care as long as its less than 100k per week, according to customer service. Call them up and confirm, too, if you wish…

          Barring that you could use a p2p service like Binance p2p and trade it for cash. Take a trip to Canada to pick up the cash, then Los Vegas and win it big. That’s how an ex in law did it last year. Though he’s kinda nuts, it worked fine.

      It’s not a problem. My only concern is a failed source of funds check, which could lead to a block on my cryptocurrency.
