I invested in Bitcoin with 9 friends through a single account in my name in 2017. I now have the highest tax rate, and it would be unfair for others to shoulder my tax burden if we liquidate. Is there any problem with gifting the Bitcoin with the expectation to receive cash proceeds? My understanding of IRS rules is that a gift is only that if nothing of equal value is received in return. In this case, X Bitcoin is gifted, but the value of X/10 Bitcoin is returned in cash to each person.
