Let's Bitcoin takes off. Say you lived in the US and had an online service that dealt in the equivalent of ~20,000 USD or more income for you (personally). What are the laws for income tax on a currency like this? Can you get in trouble with the IRS by simply having tons of BTC that the market values at (currently) almost 5$ per BTC?
Bitcoin is not a taxable thing and it is not under the government they cannot handle it because it is online and they cannot manage it daily or weekly because internet is a very complicated thing and anyone can access it so it is hard to give it a tax.
