REVISE FAQ ONLY:
Q: At what price does rebalancing a $1M Ethereum position trigger over $100K in federal tax? A: A gain of $500,000 triggers approximately $100K in federal tax at the 20% long-term capital gains rate. On a $2,116 cost basis, this requires selling near $2,252 per ETH (for a position of ~472 ETH purchased at $2,116). The exact trigger price depends on your specific position size and cost basis.

Revised: "After-tax yield is 2.0% at the top bracket. By comparison, short-term Treasuries offer approximately 4.1% pre-tax yields, meaning staking generates materially lower after-tax returns unless price appreciation offsets the yield differential."
