        It only triggers a CGT event if you sell or trade a cryptocurrency. Otherwise if you just hold the coin in the exchange or withdraw to any other wallet you don't need to worry about tax yet (but keep record of when you bought it and for how much).

        • Thanks yeah I think I'll just put money in and hold, no selling or withdrawing until way down the track, maybe when my $20 turns into $200,000.

          By "withdraw to any other wallet" do you mean transfer your Bitcoins from CoinSpot to something like Binance?

          • +1

            @pixxelpusher: Yup either Binance/exchange or your own private wallet. Do note the withdrawal fee for Bitcoin is pretty big at $20, so it's only worth withdrawing for large amounts.

            • @wangasm: Ah I see, so no CGT tax event but still fees… there's always a catch! Thanks for the heads up.

    • How difficult is it to prepare your own EOFY requirements for crypto?

      • +2

        If you only make a few transactions a year then it's easy. Just calculate the net CGT for any gains/losses you made if you sold or trade. (Just one value in your Tax Return)
        If you are an active trader with hundreds or thousands of transactions a year you are better off using a crypto tax service like https://koinly.io

  • where would be the best site to view weekly, monthly, etc chart?

  • How does CoinSpot compare with Swyftx?

    • +2

      I switched from coinspot to swyftx and never looked back. Coinspot instant buy spread for altcoin is 4.2pct which in my opinion is pretty heavy. Not to mention another 1 pct on trades.

      Swyftx i think does 0.6 on both and supports poli. Only small catch is it converts to USD internally on deposits and withdrawals but that doesnt bother me. I havent had to file taxes so cant comment on that

      User interface wise I think they are both ok

  • I was looking to deposit $25-50 every week into crypto, how is this going to stuff up my tax?

    • Taxed only when you sell. You'll be fine, just keep a ledger of your acquisition date, amounts and fees and you will be fine if anything needs to be investigated.

  • Thanks OP, have signed up! Once you get the $20 of BTC do you just leave it in CoinSpot wallet, or are you supposed to put it somewhere else?

    • Add 2fa, write the private key down. That should be fine for a $20 investment. Withdrawing $20 btc to a cold wallet is not worth it.

      • how do you get the private key on coinspot

      • I looked at 2fa but couldn't work it out. They say "Open the Two Factor Authentication App on your mobile" Do you need a separate app for that? Normally on other sites they just text a code to your phone for 2fa

        • Google/Microsoft authentication is better than SMS authentication because people can call up if they have your details and request for a new sim to be sent and as such they can get your code. Unless that have your phone in hand they can't get the code via app authentication.

          • @Sheng: Ok I'll look into Google/Microsoft authentication, guess that works on iPhone too

  • +1

    Any idea on how long verification by passport takes?

  • +1

    Good deal, I would also highly recommend bamboo - no KYC required (although you need to link a bank account)

  • Just checking whether CoinSpot will deposit $20 worth of BTC (using OzB referral) for a deposit of $1?

    • +1

      Yes. It worked for me.

  • +1

    Good to see so many new Bitcoiners! Now hodl.

  • Coinspot are actually the worst. You get ripped everytime you buy or sell. They pick the rate unless you go to the market section where you trade with others. I have bulk affiliates on there and even I've told them to stop using it.

  • Is coinspot legit? Bit concerned handing over sensitive personal info ..

    • Sensitive? You give your license details when you get into a car accident lol

    • It's been around for ages. Regulatory requirements. It is a financial institution

  • Joined Binance this week deposited $20k. Bought $6k coins, then tried to buy $14k BTC. It's been "processing" for more than 3 days and my money is locked and can't be withdrawn. Is this wait time normal?

    • Did you do kyc? Payid should be instant after the first one which can take a day.

      Binance is swamped, they just had to stop sign-ups to catchup.

    • What are the fees for those trades? Their fees are not that obvious on their website

  • Thanks op

  • Deposited $2 and it worked for me. Overall fast process.

  • Reef & AVA coins are excellent buys.

  • I was a no-coiner until THIS Keep those coin deals coming! HOLD! MOON! 🚀🚀🚀

    • Uniswap was a big deal most no coiners missed, $1 trade is now worth at least 10k AUD.

      Celsius also had $150-200 BTC earlier in the year, which 4x and $10 Cel which went from 13cents to $5-6

      It really does pay to hodl.

  • +1

    That is about the fee on one btitcoin transaction.

  • Where if anywhere does it show about $20?

    This is what it shows me

    "Referral Code You are eligible to receive $10 worth of Bitcoin for free! Please complete your first AUD deposit to claim."

    • You need to make a deposit in your account in order to receive the BTC.
      Right under "my portfolio" you should see something around $20.

      • But is this offer officially advertised somewhere? I haven't see and only see the $10 so wondering whether the $20 has ended. Passport being verified so can't deposit yet to check

  • Didn’t work for me. Clicked link, signed up, deposited $10 and no free $20.

    • Did you use a link from the referral system or enter a promo/referral code?

      • Use th Randomised referral

        • Check your wallet, you should have $20 worth of BTC

      • Used the referral. I realised it didn't generate code from clicking the link from bargain so I lodged a ticket.

  • -6

    My free$20 is worth $40 now
    Ponzi scheme?

  • tried referral link but got this error message grrr :(
    Could not create account, please try again, or contact support.

    • Use a diff email address

  • I now have $50btc from my $10 deposit and referrals. What's the best way to cash out my 10 deposit? Planning to leave the rest there and just not touch. See what happens.

    • sell it from market order (website only) and withdraw

  • Just signed up, $20 showed up fast thanks

    • Hi, where can I see the bonus $20? I am unable to see it in the Wallets tab.

      • should be in your BTC wallet not your AUD balance

  • My deposit just arrived but when do I get $20 BTC?

    • +2

      PATIENCE PLEASE
      wait 3 mins keep refreshing

  • Thanks, I am now a crypto investor.

    • +5

      thanks never dreamed of owning 0.00018 of the famous bitcoin

  • If I’m looking to invest some money into crypto, is Coinspot an okay place to do so? I’ve Read some comments above regarding buying fee and withdrawal fee, seems like coinspot isn’t really the best?

    • Was the best with the juicy offer :)
      Away from that you want a trust worthy place and be able to store on like a non internet connected Ipod . Choice product for all of Trump Cronies that even the FBI can't get into .

      • Ah yeah that and physical wallet I guess?
        I don’t mind using coinspot since I’ve already supplied my ID anyway, cbf doing it over and over again on the other wallets.
        Any recommendations on online wallet that’s not coinbase? I find that their ID check is a bit finicky.

    • +1

      Coinspot is an ok place to start and get your foot in. But if you want to get more serious about trading, access to more coins, have better liquidity and lower fees, Binance is a better choice.

      • Do overseas based wallets like Binance and FTX accept Aussie ID okay? Shouldn’t be an issue regarding tax so long as I don’t sell through them right?

        • +1

          Yeh I've done ID verification on Binance and FTX fine with aussie ID. (FTX is a bit trickier). Yes no issue with tax until you sell OR trade crypto to crypto.
          And just to be clear Coinspot, Binance and FTX are not "wallets", they are centralised exchanges with integrated wallets that you don't have the private keys to.

          • @wangasm: hmmm we can keep our crypto in coinspot, can deposit, can trade, can withdraw cash back to our bank.
            what is wallet for then? why need private keys?

            • @CyberMurning: Do people normally give strangers their passphrases to their email, internet banking, mobile accounts, ozb account, eBay, PayPal, etc?

              https://youtu.be/gB4wrX2iICA

            • @CyberMurning: It is more of a security reason. A private key is required when withdrawing from a wallet. When you have your own wallet, only you have access to your private key so no one else can withdraw from it and you will never lose your crypto. This is better if you are planning on holding (a significant amount) for a long term.

              On an exchange they have your private keys which means they or a 3rd party can access your crypto at anytime. For example in the event of an exchange shutting down or being hacked you will very likely lose your crypto and there will be nothing you can do because you don't have your keys.

              • @wangasm: how people can withdraw from my coinspot wallet ? you mean if someone knew my email and password, right? and they login to my coinspot account and sell my coins? but then withdraw to bank account under different name, is possible ?

                • @CyberMurning: Well there is that (which is countered by 2FA) but also if the exchange gets hacked they will have access to everyone's wallets. Not saying this is likely but it has happened before in the past to other exchanges. All they need to do is send your coins to an external wallet.

  • How long should it take for payid to show up? I put the description in the reference as well which I wasn't meant you do after reading

    • 2 mins

    • MeepMorp I'm in the same boat re: description in reference as well; still waiting for it to clear or be rejected, is about 22 hours since I attempted.

    • i thought you HAVE TO put ? otherwise how they know it is for your account

      • After reading the instructions for Westpac it said too leave ones of the fields blank. I think maybe the first one takes a while to show up??

        • My deposit come through yesterday afternoon, was with CBA.

  • My thoughts after being in crypto for 24 hours since yesterday "huh I thought it only went up, I'm currently DOWN after 24 hours" (notwithstanding the coin was free so I'm up)

    • I think I have only just lost about $1 worth of BTC last night.

      • wow yesterday my wallet was AUD 108.xx now $96.47
        Bitcoin crash everyone ~~~ runnnn

        • +1

          Its all crypto that crashed because of india

          https://news.bitcoin.com/indian-official-cryptocurrency-bill…

          According to Bloombergquint, “India will go ahead with a complete ban on investment in cryptocurrencies, while providing existing investors a transition period to exit the holdings … this would include a ban on transacting directly via foreign exchanges.” The publication cited “a senior finance ministry official on condition of anonymity.” The official also clarified that the ban will not be enforced overnight, noting:

          Cryptocurrency investors will be given a transition period of three to six months after the implementation of the new law to liquidate their investments.

  • I only received $10 - My understanding was you could make the deposit within 90 days.

    So is the $20 bonus applied for new sign ups and referrals, or the deposit must be made before 10am Monday 15th as well?

    • +1

      Had the same thing happen to me only receiving $10 bonus.

      Contacted support and they said I needed to have deposited before 10am on the 15th. A little annoyed because that was not made clear and I too thought I had 90 days.

      • Exactly. I will fight this.

        • Good luck. I’m going to push back as well

          • @sandshrew: Hey guys! Where does it say you have until 90 days for the first deposit? Just asking on behalf of a family member who I referred.

            • @DoctorCalculon: Might be best to contact OP.

              I assumed I had 90 days because of the post but probably should have double checked for myself.

            • @DoctorCalculon: The 90 days is for the standard $10 referral bonus so I think that's where the OP copied it from.
              The valentines promotion does not mention 90 days anywhere afaik, only the 24 hour period https://coinspot.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003228776-…

              • @wangasm: Looks like a mod edited and added the “90 days” to my original post. Not sure where they got that from, and I hadn’t noticed.

                Sorry if you got bum steered.

          • @sandshrew: They eventually came to the party after several emails.

            • @watertight: You got the $20 even though the money was deposited after the promotion? My deposit was delayed so they only gave me $10

              • +1

                @Cheeseplate: I did a payid 11 hours before the Promotion finished but they didn’t process it till after the promotion ended. As I said, took a couple of emails…

            • @watertight: Thanks to your message I checked my wallet and I too get credited the extra $10 :)

    • Looks like a mod edited and added the “90 days” to my original post. Not sure where they got that from, and I hadn’t noticed.

      Sorry if you got bum steered.

  • I dep $5 yesterday down to $23.73 and the daily graph is a sell short term .

  • Is this still available? Can't see it advertised anywhere on the site

    • Now only 10.

    • +1

      $10 now (for each person), was $20

    • Thanks guys
