I'm sure something similar will be born from its ashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not anymore. Its not currency but it is property and therefore taxable. google 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Where they track everything we say and do? Sure. Especially since bitcoin is computer based to begin with and they can get into anything. Who knows maybe they wont arrest you or tax you. Maybe they will just take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

The only way for the to get any information at all is by hijacking an exchange and monitoring trades. I don't think the exchange would be too happy about that...

Keep in mind how they compromised huge telecoms for years and we didnt know a thing about it. Likely banks also so they can track terrorism related money. There is no more anonymity on the internet. In the past the CIA bought and ran their own banks to use for holding and transferring money around. They likely still do. If they need an exchange they can either make one or buy one. eidolonFIRE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
