It's still not an easy tax for a tax man. But they will do it for sure. They always do.
Regulating crypto is not a bad thing necessary, but I don't like to be regulated in greedy people favor.
Oh yea, forcing the slaves to pay more for the "common good" while the politicians are rolling in it and cruising in their private jets is not such a bad thing. We need regulations, they will allow our masters to get our private wallets under control and surveillance and that's exactly what they need to keep us in line.
Guess it was just a matter of when not if the taxman getting involve in crypto.
Anonymous crypto-currency.? Not so much.
It's still anonymous as long as you avoid exchanges. I think that in time there will be anonymous and traceable bitcoins. Anonymous will be those coins that are being held on private addresses before the introduction of tax surveillance. If such coins are moved from one address to another (private one) nobody will know who paid who. Bad news for those who buy on an exchange as their coins will start to leave a trace.
