Hi all - just wanted to know everyone's thoughts on the upcoming tax bill, that changes the loophole about not getting taxed for trades. Are you planning on investing mostly in anonymous cryptocurrency and holding or selling? What do you think the effect on the markets will be?

The article talks about US law so if you aren't in the US or aren't an American citizen then you are fine for the moment but this is something we knew was coming, and it's going to happen all over the world since every other investment is treated in the same way, if you buy bitcoin for 10k and sell it for 20k be prepared to pay tax on the capital gains you got.

The change in law is not about the capital gains tax which you had to pay before this bill. Now you have to pay taxes on the crypto to crypto trades.

I don't think there is a tax for crypto to crypto trading. Only when we convert crypto to cash for this amount, we have to pay tax.

My question is how they can track our crypto trading records? If we do trade in local exchanges, then it is possible, but if we do in other exchange, i think it is not possible.
