Not the OP, but the best way to deal with wash sale rules is to never sell at a loss. :) Other options would be

1) close out all positions around december and wait 31 days (and until the next year) to open positions again.

2) There's a mark-to-market election you could use to be not subject to wash sale rules, this seems like a complicated topic, but is probably worth investigating.

3) In line with always sell for a gain, you may be able to structure bitcoin lots like you would stock lots, and sell specific lots to avoid many wash sales.
