The closest analogy I can make here is when someone "takes over payments" on a vehicle.  

She will get you set up with a consultation.They specialize in High-Level Tax Strategy, using real estate as the primary vehicle. 

Its up to you the investor to realize this before you invest in these kind of vehicles. 

To your point around T-bills, I'm not close to an expert around any of this, but that vehicle ties up the investment until maturity correct?

Regardless if it was for tall grass, unlicensed vehicles, leaving the trash out too long, malicious animals, failure to keep snow removed from path to mailbox etc. 

You’re pulling money from a long-term compounding vehicle to fund a potentially higher-risk asset.

I recommend a few things:  define what you want to achieve and why investing in the US is the vehicle to achieving that ROI. 

The California government will deal with the damage the same way all governments do , they will find a way to raise taxes or get the Feds to pay for it ( that will be difficult with the new administration ) Here is what I find ironic , California has C.A.R.B. to pass regulations on vehicle emissions .

Selling half your stock portfolio does not relate to 99% of the people on here that don't have the ability to tap into equities or divest from another source to create the vehicle needed to invest.

My thoughts would be the BitCoin would be treated as any other security or investment vehicle if it’s not seen as a foreign currency.
