Is it the reason, why bitcoin price goes down? Or does it mean the end of one of main bitcoin's principles - anonymity?

I don't know who the hell was expecting any anonymity if you were interacting with the legacy banking system?

If you are using exchanges to buy bitcoin with fiat, or selling bitcoin for fiat in an exchange, it's common sense that they will profile you and get you on a list, this is not bitcoin's fault.

So pay your taxes and stop complaining about it. I have no idea about taxes myself and im learning how it works for when I sell for fiat, but for now im just holding, I don't want to do anything stupid like reporting it the wrong way. Accountants are completely useless because they don't know anything about bitcoin... we are on our own so far, this is why im scare to sell anything.
