Old Crypto

[Janeysmith]

Hi there, 

The individuals that bought into cryptocurrencies years ago, before regulations and tracking softwares were started - how would you recommend they track their basis? Many of these individuals have no ability to get into the platform/exchange they originally purchased crypto from. In addition to that, I have seen many individuals that made hundreds of buy/sell transactions after the original transaction. Many of which were losses. 

Thank you in advance!

Yes. The basis is difficult to track when there is no platform to start from where to  try to track historical prices for Crypto.  There are some websites listed that claim they offer to provide historical stock prices on Crypto. Here some websites you might use that may be useful. As a disclaimer, we do not attest to the reliability of these sources but only list these as possible sources of information.
