💚 Bitcoin Cash tip: BCH forked from Bitcoin in August 2017 over a block size dispute.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Example: You invested $1,000 in BCH at $100.00 per BCH and sold at $1,650.00. BCH purchased = $1,000 ÷ $100 = 10 BCH. Gross proceeds = 10 × $1,650 = $16,500. Buy fee (0.1%) = $1.00. Sell fee (0.1%) = $16.50. Cost basis = $1,001. Net proceeds = $16,483.50. Net profit = $15,482.50. ROI = 1,546.70%. Break-even price = $100.20. At 22% short-term tax rate: tax = $3,406.15, after-tax profit = $12,076.35.
