Okay so first of all you buy bitcoin through places like coinbase and cex.io and so on, and they usually have a higher price for bitcoin then the market price, so you get screwed there. Then there is a huge fee to actually purchase the bitcoins. Then there is a transfer fee to the exchanges. Then there are trading fees. Then you send it back to coinbase or wherever for fees. Then you try withdrawing to cash out...and there is fees. Then year end you have to do tax, which is the biggest fee.

These "profits" are reduced by like 60% by the time you cash out.

Are people doing something different or am I not understanding this? Because there are WAY too many fees and then you gotta do taxes? Like damn.

What's everyone elses method?

I know right, that is insane, so man fees that we need to pay. That's why i never buy or sell bitcoin on coinbase and cex.io, the fee is so big and it's like we only receive 70-80% of the total amount because that all fees. I usually buy and sell bitcoins with a person, that person is like an exchanger here in my country. So i don't need to pay more fees, which is feels good man lol.

All fees can be covered from your profits, a trader will definitely calculate it all and I'm sure it is. I am not a trader and I am a gambler, and I always count all the fees and I will withdraw if I have really profited.

True, there are many fees but if the price was much higher when you cashed out it would hurt less.  Unless you can purchase using bitcoin there will always be fees attached.

It's either they are bagholders or they won't be cashing out unless they have a lot to cash out. The fees does only matter when you have a small profit but for those big time traders and holders it's just a cent out of their big profit. Try to understand that don't cash out when you've got a little profit.

Definitely, there are many fees involved in here since those who are providing the services for Bitcoin also want to have a slice of their earnings. Now, the best thing to do is just HODL...forget about your Bitcoin for months and let time fly...by the time the value has already risen astronomically then that is the time to convert it into cash. Now, if you want to get involved with trading then you should use other exchange (Bittrex for example).
