oh vey! really? no taxes?
Cheesy

I recently asked the IRS if I could pay taxes in Bitcoin. They said unfortunately no, taxes need to be paid in US currency as that is the reason for US currency to exist.

You really did that?

Anyway, it is somewhat an obvious and irrelevant thing. I can't pay my taxes in Bitcoin... neither in USD or any other assets except EUR.

But... if you ever due payment, they will take/confiscate ANY asset, liquidate it and use it to pay the debt. Be it USD, stocks, cars, real state... or Bitcoin.

Does anyone truly pay their taxes with the money in their pocket?

Or do they use a third party service to send their money to the IRS?
