yep just like all the AI regulations they're deregulating.
It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.
I hate how words don't mean anything to these people, and their shitbrained followers eat it up.
Will this mean that I won’t need to report every single transaction on my tax returns?
It would be real useful to use crypto for international money transfers.
hopefuly not, the IRS needs some way to track income based on the fluctuating value of crypto. yall gotta pay taxes like the rest of us.
It’s not about avoiding taxes, it’s having to submit every single transaction you make in crypto on your tax forms. One year I had to manually compile hundreds of transactions. Only for the irs forms to show their of a net loss and no taxes needed to be paid.
I wasn’t using it as an investment, so I didn’t care about the loss, which was under $10 anyway.

Crypto should want more regulation and they should want the public educated on why this makes crypto safe.
Crypto is already largely seen as a scam, one that many privately mess with, but this won’t help that perception.
Edit: Dude, I never implied it wasn’t a scam. That goes without saying. I was merely stating what I sense public perception is.
Crypto is already largely seen as a scam,
It's more than seen as a scam.

The only surprising thing is they didn't also whisper, "We're gonna get so stinking rich off this!" at the same time.
