U.S. Crypto Regulation: Will There be Changes in 2021?

I've used bitcoin.tax in the past and like it but this time I think im just gonna keep track of my own spreadsheet. prefer having control of it. I avoided trading in 2020 to avoid tax liability, so I don't have to worry about it until 2021 taxes
