It is ironic. People from the states have to wait for these tokens to be listed, and they buy it at a higher USD value. I think its going to take some time for cryptocurrency and its use in US and some other countries to be regulated.
Well right now a lot is going on in the sphere and I believe the regulations needed yo ensure fairness is not fully implemented so we are going to see a lot of this stuffs
The IRS recently published a document guide to cryptocurrency holders/investors on crypto taxes. Heres a link if you might want to take a look;
https://coincenter.org/files/crypto-tax.pdf. I think there are basic rules, and investors who keep these rules should have nothing to be afraid of. You should always pay your taxes, it doesnt matter what brings the income.
On going through the document, I found that the document was a detailed guide on helping the tax payers compute their tax liability arising from virtual currency of which cryptocurrency is among. I guess the major focus of the USA government is to drag the cryptocurrency Enthusiasts into the tax net.
