Did you actually buy some back in the 9's Bob? That is like gravy money for ya. LOL Who the heck needs to cash out when you can make a killing off people panic selling.
TBH, I can't wait for the next round of panic in late 2018, when I'm fully retired, and can "play the markets" with wild abandon, knowing my retirement has been secured.
Looking forward to a lot of lulz at the expense of panic sellers.
Good thing I pay my accounting firm so well to deal with the tax headaches, and making sure I'm above-board with the IRS.
BTW, Gemini support is terrible. Absolutely awful. I apologize for being blunt, but I've been working through issues cashing out $1M USD from a sale back above $14k, and still have not received a single freaking response from customer service.
Their system for getting verified is a bit convoluted - Wire in money from your financial institution, and, in theory, that sets up a two-way channel for them to initiate wires back to you.
Well, this works great for my primary financial institution, but not for the institution that is handling my retirement portfolio.
Long-story-short, I'm needing to wire funds out of Gemini into Financial Institution A, and then walk into Institution A and say "Greetings folks. I would like to make a Wire Transfer to Institution B. Here is my account information."... wait a moment while they pull up my account, sigh to myself as their eyes bug out and raise a curious eyebrow towards me, look further into my account history, and say "Yessir Mister Lawblaw. We'll get right on that. Would you like covfefe while you wait ? We'll need the manager to sign off on this..."
Coinbase has better support, for the love of God.
Coinbase at least allows me to ACH direct into Institution B. I feel dirty supporting Coinbase tho.
All the exchanges are shit.
