    They're not going to want to piss people off because it's viewed as an inherently destructive act. Instead they'd look for more positive resolutions. I can only speak for one Big J…

    That sounds incredibly smart because crypto taxes are a huge headache to do yourself and crypto-tax preparers charge $500-$1000/year. Does having the LLC increase your tax complexi…
