trying to be a good tax payer and asked my accountant about estimated quarterly taxes: - the IRS expects me to pay 25% of my yearly business profit every quarter - if 25% is not paid quarterly, penalties are assessed on my tax return - this is to stop companies from making one big Q4 payment 🤨 make it make sense

I am currently watching YouTube on Crypto law cases. Specifically the case of Ripple v SEC and how it was settled. I’m trying to get as much information on crypto law with the hope of getting an internship to further my knowledge.
