In the AI era, especially with tools like GPT, plagiarism isn't just copying another's work, but also presenting AI-generated content as one's unique thought without understanding or modifying its output. It's about intent and attribution. If someone blindly takes an AI's output and presents it as their own, especially in professional or academic settings, it can be considered a form of plagiarism. For certified tax planners, understanding and addressing this nuanced form of plagiarism is crucial for maintaining professional integrity and credibility.
Tax Loss Harvesting with Cryptocurrency
Tyler Menzer, CPA, PhD
In the Fall of 2025, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of over $120,000. Since then, it fell over 40% to under $70,000 in the first quarter of 2026, before slightly recovering, currently resting around $75,000 as of this writing. With the steep drop in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, a common question from taxpayers is whether they can use the current losses to offset their other income. Large investors and professionals such as Grant Cardone and Shehan Chandrasekera (Head of Tax Strategy at Cointracker) have suggested that cryptocurrency can be sold and bought back immediately to claim the tax benefits. As with most things, the answer to this is not as simple as they portray, and many commentators, influencers, and sometimes professionals, miss the intricacies of cryptocurrency taxation.
