Bitcoin was created to liberate us from corrupt governments and corporations that serve their own needs. The coinbase transaction in the genesis block, mined by Satoshi Nakamoto contained: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for bank". What is your opinion on paying taxes on Bitcoin? The government most likely doesn't know my bitcoin address. Even if they do find it, based on the transactions made from my bank account to exchanges, I could simply say someone stole the private key from me. Many of the posts here asking for help on filing taxes on their Bitcoin make no sense to me. We have a system that allows complete financial freedom and yet people choose to pay their taxes from it and support crooked governments.

If our government requires us to pay Bitcoin tax then, by virtue of no choice we should pay tax. Else, we might pay a serious penalty. Most of us are bitter with paying tax due to the corrupt government. But I think, we just have to do our responsibility. Let us just think that we are helping the others through paying taxes.

That's a good perception when you paying tax to your country and think that you contributed a little for the sake of economic growth in which country you are. If your country needs to pay tax on bitcoin then pay that is a small amount that no need to run you can pay your tax.
But luckily here in our country, my government did not impose any law regarding bitcoin so we don't need to pay tax on it we can pay tax when we buy goods.
