I am a HODLER myself, so I just view this as a after Christmas half off sale. Good luck out there man.
Buy anything today or yesterday? I found a really cool new project that I am really excited about.
I have an automated buy that buys some every payday. It is my goof off slush fun money. I then let it build up, or crash, or spend a bit on fun stuff for myself. I would never invest more in than what I am ok with loosing.
I use play money as well, but when you get 10x return on a $100 it is a great feeling

Panic has triggered at this point.

Great time to buy, or if you are a miner...just keep on mining.
As long as you view it as slush money and don't invest what you can't afford to lose like @s-hackleman already said.

So I was about to do some tax planning on this. If BTC is still treated as property and capital gains tax applies, could BTC not be sold and then invested in actual property without paying taxes on gains?

Depends. If you have a single account or way to keep that in a single portfolio, yes, in theory. But the new proposed tax laws suggest that you have to pay gains for each transaction specifically with some currencies which would negate that idea.

I actually know someone that sells cryptocurrency out of country. He says you dont have to report to US government at all, if you buy out of country using crypto.

I'm sure it will be better regulated in the future, however.

The purchase isn't the issue. It's the purchase of physical goods that is attempting to skirt tax law.

That's always the case with investing

It's bringing the currency or goods back to the US.

Cryptocurrency isn't a ponzi scheme. . .

lol as long as I can put in $50 and get $500 out of it once it pumps, I am game. People who have been trading for awhile have definitely made money. Unless they went crazy and bought at really high prices, but almost everyone's coins nearly quadrupled for a month. Even scam coins.

No, I buy bitcoin, sorry.

You need to remember there are corrections, and panic sales. Panic sales are going to drop a price to a low amount, which is then followed by a correction. Don't focus on day trading unless you are investing tens of thousands. Otherwise you'll not see any noticeable returns.
Bitcoin is going to be viable for probably another couple years. Other block chains will directly compete with the Bitcoin block chain (block chains are hot for many reasons with being decentralized/ledgers, very fast to transfer money between organizations... Talking millions of transactions in seconds or minutes).
But Bitcoin is going to eventually fall to other tech because of its limitations with performance and scalability. You'll see Ethereum rise, but not to the same amount. I think we'll see few top what Bitcoin ever has or will. There will likely be something out of left field that might get to those levels, or possibly break it, but I don't believe it is anything currently out or even being thought about right now. Think of block chain as 1.0, how could Quantum computing ever change that? The next step is 2.0, probably 5-10 years away for whatever beats Bitcoin's top dollar.
Even though Ethereum was hacked (now ETC... Ethereum Classic), hacks happen in this game. ETH (Ethereum) will continue to climb. It's likely it'll get to about $6k and fall significantly over time. Realistically, it could probably get to $8k for top dollar.
Also keep in mind criminal activity being used to trade Dash and Monero. Criminals need money on the Deep Web to trade for their kiddy porn. Dash jumped up, but Monero won't rise for probably another year, maybe less.
Bottom line, it's all gambling. I watch the market, and traded a little bit. I made a small amount of money and stopped. I am not much for gambling and even less about obsessing on prices and when to buy/sell. I got too far into it and didn't like how much attention I was giving the whole process.

You'd be surprised how many people invest thousands of dollars into "coins" that dont even have website or active development. It takes about 30 seconds to check these things. Then people who invest complain that they bought a scam coin. If you are too stupid to buy something without taking a few minutes to verify your authenticity, there is not enough government regulation in the world to keep you from being a fuck up.

Ha...
Meanwhile my 401k and WealthFront investments are skyrocketing!
At this point in the Bitcoin lifecycle... I'd say it's better to leave that crap behind (unless you are an early investor, I'd say to sell after this dip), and go stocks instead.
