The reasons to buy/use Bitcoins are many, but the opportunity to trade OUTSIDE the Federal Reserve system, and perhaps your country's central bank too (quite possibly hastening its demise), and its associated tax is probably one of the greatest reasons. What I'm saying is, once you dig into it, you will discover the US Federal Income Tax is an excise on banking within the Federal Reserve System. From a legal standpoint, bitcoins are not "income" under the Revenue Acts of the United States. Unless of course you consent to consider them income; in this day of heavy conditioning (brainwashing), that's always an option. I asked a tax attorney about bitcoin and he said they were "includible" in gross income. I then said "oh, I can include them if I choose to." And he just laughed at that. My interpretation is... gotcha.
