The point of this thread is for me to prove the IRS can't prove what bitcoins you sold - even if you make a direct challenge about it.
By posting a message on this forum, you are not making a direct challenge to the IRS. If you want to make a direct challenge to the IRS, have someone report you to the IRS and we will then see whether you are right or wrong. I have the feeling that they will be able to find something because, as stated before, the ramifications of your financial expenditures do not stop on your person but they continue and reach anyone you have been in contact with.
I think you are correct and I am quite certain that the IRS and perhaps other "three-letter" agencies have plants here.
They tend to do that sort of thing, you know.
Stay legal people; find ways to minimise tax and go on!
My $.02.

Plants like Botolo...
Stay legal? How can you stay legal with an ILLEGAL organization that pulls rulings out of the air, without any authority of law to do so, & then applies them retroactively.
Then anyone they want to target, selectively prosecute in yet another shame, illegal court system known as the "tax court". You gotta ask yourself why tax cases are not tried in a criminal court.
You really think you'll get any rule of law in the tax court?
Here's a few quotes from the tax court for you to ponder...
"I will not allow the law in my courtroom"U.S. District Court Judge Kent J. Dawson
And another quote by the same traitor to the Constitution & the American people...
"You must follow the law as I give it to you."Wake up. They don't follow the law.
The only solution to the Federal Reserve scam & their collection agency the IRS is to refuse to participate.
Treat them like you would the mob. Keep all assets out of their reach. And simply refuse to participate in that scam.
