‘Beware of Alarming Crypto Tax Rules!’
🚨SCARY new Crypto tax rules you should be worried about
Cryptocurrency has become increasingly popular in recent years as a form of digital currency that operates independently of traditional banking systems. However, as governments around the world start to catch up with this new technology, they are introducing new tax rules and regulations aimed at bringing cryptocurrencies into the mainstream financial system. While these measures may be necessary for regulatory purposes, they are also causing concern among crypto enthusiasts. In this article, we will explore some of the scary new crypto tax rules you should be worried about.
Crypto tax regulations explained
Cryptocurrency tax regulations cover various aspects, including capital gains, reporting requirements, and general taxation rules. Here are some key areas of concern for cryptocurrency holders:
1. Capital gains tax on cryptocurrency
Under many tax jurisdictions, cryptocurrencies are treated as property, which means any gains or losses from their sale or exchange may be subject to capital gains tax. This can be scary for investors who have seen significant gains in the value of their cryptocurrency holdings.
2. Reporting requirements
Many tax authorities now require individuals to report their cryptocurrency holdings and any income derived from them. Failure to report accurately could result in penalties or even legal action. This puts the burden of tracking and reporting crypto transactions on the individual, which can be complex and time-consuming.
3. Lack of clarity in rules
One major concern for cryptocurrency holders is the lack of clear guidelines and definitions from tax authorities. The evolving nature of the cryptocurrency industry makes it challenging for tax regulations to keep up, creating confusion for both investors and tax authorities. Without clear rules, it becomes difficult for individuals to comply and ensure they are fulfilling their tax obligations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How are capital gains on cryptocurrencies taxed?
A: Capital gains on cryptocurrencies are typically subject to capital gains tax, similar to other forms of property. The tax rate will depend on various factors, such as the holding period and the individual’s tax bracket.
Q2: Do I need to report my cryptocurrency holdings on my tax return?
A: In most cases, yes. Many tax jurisdictions now require individuals to report their cryptocurrency holdings, even if they haven’t sold or exchanged them. It is essential to consult your local tax authority or a tax professional to ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
Q3: What happens if I don’t report my crypto transactions?
A: Failure to report crypto transactions accurately can have serious consequences, including penalties and legal actions. Tax authorities are increasingly cracking down on unreported cryptocurrency transactions, so it is advisable to meet your reporting obligations to avoid potential issues.
Q4: Are there any exemptions or deductions available for cryptocurrency holders?
A: This varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Some countries may offer certain exemptions or deductions for cryptocurrency holders, such as deducting mining expenses or offsetting losses from crypto investments against other capital gains. It is crucial to consult your local tax regulations or a tax professional for guidance.
Conclusion
As the popularity of cryptocurrencies continues to grow, governments are implementing new tax rules and regulations to ensure proper taxation and oversight. While these measures aim to bring transparency and accountability to the crypto industry, they can be worrisome for individuals who fear the complexity and potential penalties associated with them. Staying informed about the latest crypto tax rules and seeking professional advice will help crypto investors navigate this ever-changing landscape. Remember, paying taxes is a necessary part of participating in the financial system, even in the world of cryptocurrencies.
I'm not worried im not selling any of my btc.
Okay, this is going to be a long post. I'm on my PC which I rarely use for YouTube posts. And, I found out I have an entirely different and old login. Go figure.
Here's what I plan on putting on the government.reg comments page. I wanted to post here first to get any feedback. I'll do the same on Patreon and X (my only other SM channels). Appreciate any suggestions. I know it's long and it covers a lot. But it's an important issue and we have a chance to have our voices heard, so… At my age I tend to ramble to anyone that will listen but I thought it was important enough to articulate a point of view that may resonate with others that read it (if they can get through it).
Here it is:
I am a small business owner operating a small engineering firm in California. I was dragged kicking and screaming into being educated on the cryptocurrency economic ecosystem by a client that was into crypto and with whom I had been debating the usefulness and legitimacy of digital currency as legal tender for some time. I was making my argument from the point of view of an old centralized economic ecosystem mentality that didn't quite grasp the totality of what this technology represented. I believe that centralized economics and the centralized banking system has resulted in an endless cycle of boom and bust that will continue endlessly with the same hardships to the working class families across the nation. After reading the BitCoin White Paper my perception of a better and fairer economic system widened. Allowing governments to interfere with the adoption of this technology for the sake of taxation under the guise of helping their citizens is in conflict with the principles of a Constitutional Republic and insures that the current economic debt system will continue. For people who believe that they should serve their government as opposed to their government serving them, this argument will have no meaning. But politicians claiming to be in the service of the people need to step back and educate themselves as I have over the last few years. It is a technology they don't understand and will only manage to impede its adoption. But, because of blockchain technology and Web3 applications, it cannot be stopped. Government interference will only make things worse for the very people cryptocurrency was intended to help. Attempts to regulating the ecosystem will fail at the cost of the American taxpayer.
I have been working in the public and private sector for the better part of half a century. I've been an employer for about the same amount of time. My experience in being an honest person with strong moral principles in the free market has taught me that my original notion of becoming economically stable was not possible without compromising those core values of love, compassion, understanding, empathy and forgiveness. Why? Because I had to put others wellbeing above my own. The result has been that I have reached the age of 77 where my vantage of the future is that another economic collapse similar to 2008 will devastate me and millions of others. It’s an inevitability under our current central banking and economic system. We need a new financial system for the future of humanity that is not linked to the past and it needs to be founded on an immutable digital asset that cannot be manipulated by central banks and governments. In America, generations were raised under the belief that being free to pursue happiness was a natural right and that our system of government was created to protect those natural rights. Interfering with the natural evolution of the cryptocurrency ecosystem will only result in delaying the inevitable establishment of a fair and stable financial system that cannot be controlled by a central entity or individual. The U.S. Constitution was written with a clear understanding of human nature and how to keep it from treading down the path of self destruction. Existing government rules for collecting taxes on all economic assets are robust and do not need to be expanded or changed for cryptocurrency. Our system of laws were established under the principle that all people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I am not a criminal. I will pay my taxes on any "gains" I make and deduct losses allowed under the law. It's clean, simply and operates within the boundaries of our Constitution and legal system.
The following is for any politician that has no understanding of cryptocurrency. Read the white paper for BitCoin. You don't have to understand the technical aspects of it, though anyone that owes BitCoin should understand the technology since their financial literacy and future economic standing will be in proportion to their willingness to participate in the most disruptive economic force since the industrial revolution. An opportunity to abandon a failed economic system without causing economic chaos while the rest of the world catches up.
screw uniswap!
The US government especially Democrats since they’re still in charge are getting out of control. First they want us to report everything when it comes to Regular Cash that’s over $600 not $10,000 or $20,000 which that’s more realistic and their excuses, is to track rich people which $600 is nothing for that. But it’s for every US citizen. and now they wanted us to track everything and report it. Now they want to do the same thing with Crypto. They’re out of the fucking Mind. I’m done with them not voting for them next year‘s election. And they cannot blame is Republicans fault because it was Democrats the ones that created these new laws in the first place.
Good luck irs
If you sign a contract (every year) with them they will control you. Contract is law, law is contract.
They’re also taxing your money about 3 times over
Didn't even notice anything about physical appearance until you point it out. Stop doing that….
Didn't see any responses so I just jumped on it. Here's what I put. Feel free to take any ideas you agree with and run with it. Yeah, yeah I know no one wants to read anymore. So, you know read a sentence and see if you want to read on… I'm just saying..
As a small business owner, I was initially skeptical about the legitimacy and usefulness of cryptocurrency. However, after delving deeper into its principles and understanding the potential it holds, my perspective has completely changed. I’m 77 years old and if I can understand that importance of this technology, to for the betterment of the human condition, a better freer world, anyone can.
Centralized economies and banking systems have long subjected the working class to an endless cycle of boom and bust. It is time to break away from this vicious cycle and embrace a better financial system. Cryptocurrency, with its decentralized nature and immutability through blockchain technology, offers tangible hope.
Governments globally are trying to regulate and control cryptocurrency for the tax considerations only. Such interference conflicts with the principles of a Constitutional Republic dedicated to individual freedom. It is imperative for the public at large and policymakers to educate themselves about this technology and make decisions from an informed and knowledgeable perspective, not one of ignorance.
Attempts to regulate the cryptocurrency ecosystem will ultimately fail and only harm the very people it was intended to lift out of the debt system. A new financial system that can operate alongside the old one is emerging. As it matures and the public comprehends its importance, tools are developed to operate in it confidently in the digital marketplace more people will be free from the manipulation of central banks and governments will be forced to operate within the bounds of their finances instead of endless printing inflationary currency. Cryptocurrency offers us the chance to establish a fair and stable financial system that cannot be controlled by a single entity or individual.
Policymakers, for the sake of our future, I implore you to read the white paper for Bitcoin and grasp the transformative power it holds. Cryptocurrency is not merely a technological novelty; it is the most disruptive economic force since the industrial revolution. Embracing this innovation will allow us to abandon a failing economic system without causing chaos and, instead, create a future where financial literacy and economic standing are inextricably linked.
It is time for us to break free from the shackles of a centralized economic system that perpetuates inequality and vulnerability to financial collapse. Government intervention can only hinder the progress of cryptocurrency, and it is our responsibility to educate ourselves and advocate for the adoption of this transformative technology. Let us envision a future where an immutable and decentralized financial system empowers individuals and ensures economic stability for generations to come.
If they tax cryptos such, mine as well tax millionaires and billionaires.

At some point ither the people stand against the Unlawful IRS who is nothing to do with government it is a privately held banking system for the Rothchild, the Rockefellers and Soros evil villain of our time… nothing federal about the IRS absolutely should be dismantled and disinvited from the shores of the US. It’s an embezzling engine of money, and if enough people would simply refuse and stop, we would bankrupt them overnight…..
