For instance, I have some income from a signature campaign. Try explaining to a bank clerk what a sig campaign is and proving that the funds come from there.
At some point I may have to do this. I can point to registration threads and standalone pages for most of it and the relevant address and the movements through it.
People make money from some very, very weird sources all the time so it's not insurmountable.
We will all have to, unless BTC acceptance goes through the roof allowing us to skip cash and get our target goods directly. Unfortunately when it comes to expensive goods like cars there will still be questions.
claiming forks ~= special dividents from your investments
small faucet amount turned into hefty value ~= cashing out long term investment, capital gain
Fine, I agree it can be explained, but will they accept it? This is what I'm afraid of:
In this day and age any large amount of money is regarded as suspect. They will want some sort of paper trail no matter where it's from. If you invent a flat out lie with nothing to back it up that's not going to end well.
The currently made laws regarding crypto investments, KYC, and such, are quickly going towards outlawing many popular ways of making money in the space. Since we don't have any paperwork a normal employer would issue and simple faucets or signature payments can grow to enormous numbers in the next few years. How will we prove this little forum advertising wasn't just a cover up for drug trading on deep web?
