The newest revelation about SegWit lineage tokens being eventually frozen comes from a recent post by the user who had created the Long-term advance notice thread...
Is there any way to wash the taint of segwit from existing legacy addresses? Typically running bitcoin through an exchange will originate from a bech address before handing you your "1..." intended UTXO and a change address with a "3" back to the exchange.
Perhaps spending them to a Monero wallet about 2 weeks before the halving is the way to go? Then retire to some far away island devoid of capital controls...

Thus I expect legacy Bitcoin to skyrocket after the initial reaction dip at the inception of the SegWit donations redeeming, and BSV’s rise will accelerate as legacy mining pools figure out they need a non-congested, secure altcoin to pay out mining shares.
I've never touched the BSV fork and have no idea about how to claim it. I'm sure I have some somewhere because I've had BTC since Feb 2017. My tax accountant knows about all of this and told me that new rules are being proposed by some republican congressmen about how to handle this new reality with a $600 transaction limit that you've probably heard of.
Here's a list of proposed blockchain legislation...
In particular, you might want to look at this bill as referenced from above on how forks will be treated:

There's a Monero conversion option inside your Trezor model T, but I don't know if this is a DEX or not. I still prefer the earlier version of the Trezor though.
My tax accountant is also unsure about how to deal with Steem. I explained to her that bots can easily cause 100K transactions per day which without automation it is impossible to figure the tax. Also for anyone who is on EOS, hundreds of airdrops each of which are practically worthless and dangerous to attempt to claim (most are scams) which can be taxable but take several hours of work each to research.
I've been working through IvanOnTech's blockchain coding academy in an attempt to get a handle on this for my Dapp idea for updating time zones in my astrology software (time zones have consensus problems believe it or not, but probably doesn't need strong decentralization). Unfortunately EOS is becoming a train wreck (maybe claim it as a deduction for my software business).
I downloaded Bisq several months ago to have a look around but never used it. There's quite a lot of offers, but this is more expensive than Coinbase (usually) unless you find a F2F offer which can cause you to travel several hundred miles. Seems like there's always someone willing to do trades with you in Vegas and Dallas. The other one I noted is Raleigh, but you have no idea of who you're dealing with.
I got into bitcoin because I realized that the US government has stolen my pension for the Iraq war (for which they now tax for again to make up for the theft) and got bitcoin as pension insurance if they default. If the dollar stays strong, then bitcoin will probably not go as high, but if the dollar collapses then very likely bitcoin will go parabolic. I don't think the USD will collapse as quickly as Jeff Berwick seems to think. At the earliest, fall of 2022 we could see significant hyperinflation if the Euro has already collapsed (which will do so first).
Then the scenario that Andreas Antonopoulos talks about will probably play out (as it did in 1984 Russia and many other places)...
The above scenario may not happen prevalently inside of the USA if Trump gets that Mexican border wall (meant to keep tax slaves in, not illegals out) and Amazon seizes the means of all production.
