1.) Since you are even taxed on crypto to crypto transactions..
Say you buy some BTC on coinbase. You want to buy alts with it. You realize LTC is faster to move to an exchange so you trade your BTC to LTC. You send LTC to say bittrex. You can't buy alts with LTC, so you trade your LTC back to BTC. Now you buy some XLM with your BTC. You change your mind and realize you want ICX instead. ICX isn't on bittrex. So now you have to get on binance. Convert your XLM to BTC. Then BTC to LTC. Then LTC to binance. LTC on binance....you trade your LTC to BTC so you can buy some ICX. You finally then trade your BTC for ICX. You finally have your ICX. It took you like 10 trades to do this. This all happened today. How much taxes did you just pay, LMAO. Do I owe know more taxes then my coins are even worth?
2.) ICX goes to nothing (won't happen - but humour me).....You still owe all those taxes right? If you buy a 1000 dollar iphone, you pay taxes on it, whether you drop it off a building and make it worthless the next day or not....
3.) Am I totally missing something here? This seems more trouble than it's worth. If it was just taxes on capital gains, that would be one thing...but...damn
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

flat cap gains and trade cap gains, work out to similar % values at the end of the day, the gov does make a few extra bucks on the trade to trade cap gains...which is exactly why they do it. but its not like flat cap is 35% and trade to trade cap gains is 50%
and if ICX goes to nothing, you have captial losses to claim, instead of gains. your entry at x price was your capital, "realized" at trade, then you lost it all, now you have 0. thats x price in losses.

Coinbase has a report that you can run to calculate your total gain/loss (FIFO basis), but the other exchanges don't yet as far as I know. Hopefully by the end of this year the other exchanges will have tax reports available too or maybe tax laws will be simplified to reduce the bookkeeping burden.
Not sure what you mean by "just taxes on capital gains"? The capital gains (or losses) are calculated on each transaction.

What I meant by that is....say you start with 1000 on coinbase....you xfer to exchanges...whatever....6 months later you send back to coinbase.. your stack is now worth 50k. You should be taxed on the 49k...And that's all you have to worry about.

Did loop really blast off more than 100%? That was one of my first coins I invested in. I've noticed link and loop pump on opposite days. Maybe it's link's turn today.
Also, I'm a little nervous with ICX. Isn't it supposed to be the Korean Eth? If so, why does it always get dumped overnight?

I've just read that APPC did a burn, dropping supply to 248 million and circulating to 98 million.
Has this already reflected in it's price I wonder?

They look at crypto as property so you are taxed on each property sale regardless of whether it's on Coinbase or wherever. That said I'm sure lots of people just don't report it but that's another story.
