So why would so many people willingly evade taxes?
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-13/irs-puzzled-why-out-500000-coinbase-users-only-900-reported-gains-or-losses

The amount of users is probably 10 fold by now.

Since Coinbase is a US company, eventually the IRS will butt fuck them. I don’t even get why Coinbase is refusing to give up client info, just to appease NEETs in the community?

If IRS comes at everyone, everyone would be taxed on full capital gains tax with no cost basis AND penalized.

I don’t get it. What is everyone’s rationale here?

if you use any u.s. based exchanges the IRS will eventually subpoena their records for all u.s. citizens. they already did that shit with some swiss banks, so they may go after exchanges based outside of the u.s. as well.

if you do all your crypto trading on places that the IRS will never have access to then you're probably safe.

Here's two reasons why they're not paying taxes:

(1)THEIR FUCKING RULES ARE NOT CLEAR! The IRS has been asked several fucking times if 1031 exchanges are OK with BTC to ALT to BTC. They have been silent.

(2)If someone had 100 ETH in 2016 and decided to diversify into ALTS, how the fuck do you expect that person to pay over $10,000 in taxes on "property" they have no fucking cash to pay for in the first place?!

that's why no one is paying their fucking taxes. I hope these people who write the tax code die of cancer and watch their children and family die from a painful disease as well.

I don't have an issue paying taxes, but when these fuckers are not clear, and unethically word things just to steal more and more from you then they can eat a fucking dick.

IRS Rules specifically state this:

Virtual Currency is "property"; therefore,

(Value of BTC when you bought ALTcoin)-value of BTC you bought at = your realized taxable gain/loss.

You basically traded "property" for another "property".

IF I bought a comic book valued at $100 and because it doubled in value, I decided to trade it for a $200 gaming console.

Your realized capital gains of that comic book to gaming console transaction was $100. You get taxed on that 15% long or 30% short.

This is what's killing all the traders. They don't deal with fiat...so there's really no way for them to pay tax on that shit. Some I'm sure made over $20k on trades, but don't actually have the $6k cash upfront to pay the tax on that bullshit.
