Bit Tax
Stoopid Questions.
1….If bitcoin is private and neither banks nor Government Agencies have any inkling what is happening in your wallet
Does that mean Capital Gains taxes are on the honor system ?
Or
2….Perhaps there is no capital gain tax …because this is not an investment…its just a currency exchange
3…Are there different / no rules in different countries ?
4…How long before the Gov’ts step in and tax ones gains at a very high level ?
5…Is this a big topic in the msm presently
I have no interest in msm usually…so I really haven’t been following the tx aspect of this phenomena
tia to all the well versed Bitcomaniacs we may have here
Wow…Hearst posted an article that answers many of my questions here…but he posted them before I asked
Ha….Thanks Hearst whatever you are.

See coinbase litigation. IRS is tracking for US citizens.
Currency based CGs are taxed here too.
Some countries don’t tax CG at all. (Caymans)
But CC exchanges are very differentiated … Mt Gox failed, others are hackable, others have high fees etc.
Wait until the futures start trading on bitcoin. Futures traders are going to manipulate this thing and use the teenaged bitcoin holders as their play thing
