I'd like to start trading, but what happens when you get profit from a new coin? you pay taxes as individual (like capital gain) or you must open a registered company?
Since cryptocurrency is decentralized, traders can't be pinned down directly by any government agencies, to get taxes from them. Except the exchange they are using decides to charge them indirectly, because exchanges can still be charged the government agencies.
