Cost basis question

Post Body

I get the very basic of cost basis. If I buy 1 BTC for 50k, and then hold it for a year. And sell it for 100k.

I have long term capital gains on 50k. The cost basis of my BTC is 50k.

Easy!

What is the secret that I am missing in this example.

I sell 1BTC for 100k. But my cost basis is not the simple 50k. Because I bought .25 in month 1. Bought .25 in month 2 etc. (each .25 has a different cost basis, but while selling , I sold the whole coin.)
