Some experts recommend selling between 20% and 50% if you are risk-averse or have pressing financial needs.
It also makes sense to sell some of your bitcoin if you don't want to wait years for a potentially massive payoff.

If you had invested $100 in bitcoin seven years ago, it would be worth around $28 million today.

SB Nation: Toronto Raptors

If your property tax bill is greater than $10,000, you'll be able to deduct more by paying next year's bill early.

It looks like the Republican tax plan might actually be passed before the end of the year. Читать дальше...
