That is just a recommendation, it may or may not be in effect later but currently its unregulated.

But based on that logic, the people that recommended it are Pakistani.
So, using this stupid generalization all the Pakistani are against bitcoin.

Have you sold payments in signature campaigns in exchanges? what happened? me and a lot of other people are scared to do that, even if we obtained the coins legally. They can decide that it's not clear where the money came from, then you would be screwed. Unfortunately im starting to feel like I will never be able to buy anything of substance with bitcoin, because the government will always know if you buy real estate etc with it. Even if my coins are legally, im scared that they will not like the evidence presented.

There are a lot of threads about this.This one is from my post history:

Nobody gives a damn about your coins while you have them in your wallet.
What they are interested is what you do when you convert them to fiat.
If you just sell them for $ and you don't pay taxes for it then you are in trouble.

Till last year I din't bother with it because I've only sold small sums <100$ times each but for the last year I've filled my tax form up.
Both for crypto and betting gains.

When you gain coins from signatures campaigns is like working for somebody, if you earn money from it you're liable for taxes, it's the same stuff.
