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.
Paying or not paying taxes is the business of each individual person. However, it is necessary to take into account that criminal liability is usually established for non-payment of taxes, and the more the amount of non-payment, the higher the responsibility. If you do not want to sleep peacefully, you can take a chance and not pay tax. However, in my opinion, taxes still need to be paid. Of these, the state finances various social programs and salaries for people in budgetary specialties.
