$WAPPER.io“THE BEST WAY TO PRESERVE WEALTH”
What is the problem?
Due to lack of information/education most early adopters of Bitcoin/Alt Coins don’t realize that if they hold coins as an investment or asset they are subject to capital gains tax on the sale or realization of profit.
There is no fast/secure way to defer the payment of capital gains tax on appreciated digital currencies.
HOW WE SOLVE THE PROBLEM
$wapper harnesses the power of the Bitcoin/Blockchain technology to facilitate the safe and secure swap of digital investment assets between “like minded” individuals while preserving wealth.
MARKET OPPORTUNITYAnyone Subject to Capital Gains Tax
MARKET OPPORTUNITYIn excess of 120,000 transactions a day
HOW DID WE GET HERE?IRS NOTICE 2014-21
$WAPPER WAS STARTED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF A REALIZATION BY ITS
FOUNDER: THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN OF PAYING CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON HIS INVESTMENT/ TRADING BITCOIN PROFITS.
FOR FEDERAL TAX PURPOSES, VIRTUAL CURRENCY IS TREATED AS PROPERTY. ALL ASSETS HELD FOR INCOME OR INVESTMENT ARE SUBJECT TO CAPITAL GAINS.
AN INDIVIDUAL REALIZES CAPITAL GAIN OR LOSS ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF ANY INCOME OR INVESTMENT PROPERTY THAT IS HELD AS A CAPITAL ASSET.
EXAMPLES:
PROBLEM WITH CURRENT METHOD
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO SAFE/EFFICIENT WAY FOR PEOPLE TO IDENTIFY AND STREAMLINE THE EXCHANGE OF DIGITAL CURRENCIES WITHIN THE STRINGENT I.R.S. TIMEFRAME SET TO QUALIFY AS A “LIKE KIND” EXCHANGE.
UNDER THE REGULATIONS AN INDIVIDUAL HAS 45 DAYS AFTER RELINQUISHING A CAPITAL ASSET TO IDENTIFY A REPLACEMENT PROPERTY.
FAILURE TO MEET THE 45 DAY DEADLINE RESULTS IN A FAILED EXCHANGE AND CAPITAL GAINS ARE OWED.
THE ACQUISITION OF REPLACEMENT PROPERTY MUST BE COMPLETED
WITHIN 180 DAYS OF CLOSING OF THE RELINQUISHED PROPERTY. FAILURE
TO MEET THE 180 DAY DEADLINE RESULTS IN A FAILED EXCHANGE AND CAPITAL GAINS ARE OWED.
WHAT WE DO
$WAPPER WILL INTEGRATE WITH EXCHANGES SO AT TIME OF SALE THE INVESTOR CAN INSTANTLY ESCROW GAINS WITH US AND WE IMMEDIATELY GENERATE THE PROPER LEGAL PAPERWORK SETTING UP A LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE.
$WAPPER ACTS AS A QUALIFIED INTERMEDIARY AND USES BLOCKCHAIN SMART CONTRACTS TO FACILITATE A SAFE, SECURE, AND QUALIFYING CAPITAL GAINS DEFERRED EXCHANGE TO INCREASE AND PRESERVE WEALTH.
$WAPPER CAN HANDLE ANY TRANSACTION SIZE FROM SWAPS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF ALT COINS TO MICRO-TRANSACTIONS OF DIGITAL CURRENCY.

REVENUE MODEL
$WAPPER HAS THREE POTENTIAL SOURCES OF REVENUE.
1. We charge a fee for each swap. Currently there are over 120,000
unique trades per day and we can earn a fee on each of them.
2. During the swap period we invest the funds in escrow in secure
interest bearing accounts split equally between the individual and
$wapper.
3. Licensing fees for our technology to other qualified intermediaries.
KEY COMPETITION
$WAPPER IS FIRST TO MARKET WITH ITS INTEGRATION OF BITCOIN/BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGES.
THERE ARE SEVERAL LARGE QUALIFIED INTERMEDIARIES SUCH AS STARKER SERVICES, INC., FIRST AMERICAN EXCHANGE COMPANY, & OLD REPUBLIC EXCHANGE BUT THEY DO NOT USE BITCOIN/BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO COMPLETE SWAPS OR ARE INVOLVED IN EXCHANGES OF DIGITAL CURRENCY.
