u/CelsiusVictim

Since their chat is so slow, sometimes it can take a day to respond, and I would ask a few questions to save time, they would answer 1 of them.
Anyway, I have to manually create a sell of all the coins in Celsius wallet to see the cost basis it uses. Fine. I transferred it to Paypal because it was "returned" to Paypal. Cost basis remains the same. GOOD. Now when I test sell on Paypal for the same amount of coin, the cost basis changed. What?!!?
In trying to simplify or understand their bankruptcy liquidation/recovery, I "sold" all the BTC in Celsius wallet (with set price of $19881.00134) then created a "buy" of the returned amount in 1/16/2024 and set the price of the distribution value ($42972.9948). If I then sell the returned amount of coin, the cost basis it applies is not even close to $42K. Is it gathering the cost basis of all the wallets? It shouldn't right? Especially when the setting is per wallet.
It's a big hold up after another. Bankruptcy liquidation won't let you put $0 because it confuses the software or something so I'd just put .01 USD to make it ok.

It's so hard to wrap my head around the software. I get the big picture of my cost basis, claim value and etc. Just inputting into the software and what shows up is so odd.

***UPDATE: I changed the "buy" of returned amount to 2025 with the set price, and the sell now is correct. I guess the per wallet is not mandatory until 2025. I should just leave the original transaction of 1/16/2024 alone since the inputted numbers are right?
Which means when I "sold all" to get my cost basis (as was told by their support last year) for a coin in Celsius wallet for the Excel calculation, it's technically NOT the right one since it's 2024 and it could be some average of cost across all wallets?

I read your insightful and thoughtful comment on the other sub about 9 months ago. That other sub just died after they started over regulating what's posted. There's plenty of "is this legit?" posts - they could simply make a pinned post on domains to look for that are safe. At the same time, they can make a weekly or monthly post for people that just want to vent. Like you said, it's not healthy to keep wishing other people bad or even death because it affects one's self more. Thinking positively and "moving on" is good. You were fortunate to be in the position to look at the bigger picture and buy more despite what happened. I and many others wasn't able to, maybe froze, but for me, I focused on my real job and being positive. Others made lemonade out of the lemons. Aaron Bennett was able to be of help to others (of course he has his own agenda) and is now as you found out, sponsored by Aura. You mentioned he also purchased a Cherokee account just to be in the game. Well maybe he intended to be able to say that he also has a stake, but as you said, be able to get relevant information to post on his vlog to get more clicks.

For others that do try, it can't be helped that each time around April, they get reminded on the whole mess of what Celsius has done to us. Reopening wounds are painful, but each year, it's less. It also made me remember Tiffany Fong and her $200K loss. I saw that she's also now sponsored by Aura and shot in popularity. Is she better off now because of Celsius?

Going back to you - I agree that we should move on and use this life lesson to better ourselves, however we can in our different ways. I thank you for your time and of course that only happened because you have skin on the game. I wished Justin, who made sense for us for filing our tax and also end up benefitting from this continued his calculation example from the previous ones - he would still have people paying for services regardless.

Aside from the Food and Booze, what did you use yours for? Maybe something unexpected or surprising?

We already get free breakfast as a perk, and usually when travelling elsewhere, we want to try their local food outside of the hotel.

Spas and massages would be good, but they're usually a lot more than the $100 credit, so it can feel like you're paying for something extra (even though it's a less).

Would hotels international have some sort of a gift shop that can be used to charge stuff to the room?
