I was audited, and I hired a tax attorney to help me deal with it. Even with the tax attorney I still ended up owing significantly more than what I should have owed if the tax software knew how to deal with the kind of transactions I was doing.
The learning lesson was that you can't comply your way out of tyranny.

For those who own kyc coins, in 2025, they want your 'from' address, and your 'to' address. They will then use that data to look back at prior transactions to see if you were complying.

Many in society have been to trained depend on someone telling them how to think. Be it religious leaders, teachers, coaches, celebrities, politicians. Very few teach children and adults that it is ok to think for themselves. They latch onto people instead of ideas.

Apparently Saylor when he suggests you give him money. Stop giving him money and the problem solves itself. Also, be careful who you call a bitcoin savior. They can always turn on you. I see his honeypot as an attack on bitcoin's publicity. If his coins get taken, or any custodial, the news reporters say that bitcoin got hacked. Normie's don't know the difference.

Sell/Spend whatever. You sold your utxo for a soda. You spent your utxo for a soda. Obviously if you are afraid then only sell/spend to an exchange. If you are brave, spend it in El Salvador. You do you. The issue is people aren't aware of the risks.

2024-03-16 18:40:49

- reply

Saylor's value proposition is trust me bro. None of this would be an issue if those who trust him would self custody. It's obviously an issue the moment you add trust to the equation. Bitcoin is a trustless peer to peer network. The moment you start adding trust is the moment it is no longer bitcoin. You have MSTR. This is not bitcoin. Why are you referring to it as such?

2024-03-16 18:31:16

If you are scared then only sell to an exchange, but self custody in the mean time. The brave individuals will sell their coin p2p, and good for them.

Everybody thinks that this case is an outlier IMHO and it won't happen to them. Well, this isn't their only mechanism of attack. The IRS also uses chain anal to track traceability, and if your original buy doesn't trace to the final sale on your taxes then that could be another excuse for an audit. If you coinjoin you are rolling the dice.

One of the rules in self custody is to not put your coins in an environment that exceeds your own technical skills. This is a dangerous idea for long term storage. Do at your own risk.

Federated does not equal decentralized. Nostr is not advertised as being federated while mastodon is. Nostr is mostly decentralized. Of course when I say decentralized, do understand that the term is a gradient, not a dichotomy like decentralized vs centralized.

I also think about having plausible deniability. Using lightning as it was intended is about the most normal thing you can do with bitcoin, and it offers moderate privacy. The problem is with all these LSPs moving in.

One thing that bitcoin is failing in the sewer rat analogy is privacy. People who choose to exercise privacy are being attacked. Chain Analysis is playing a guessing game with those who choose to use moderate privacy. People are misled into thinking that using this tech with kyc coin is a good idea. I'm not sure that it is. Using the sewer rat analogy, what is perfered for dark net markets? I know that if you play by the rules, then you don't get privacy, and a 6102 can be performed with a swipe of a pen.

Well, IMHO, it is not a taxable event because it's just a multisig peg between btc and lbtc. Traditional alt-coins are not pegged like this. Of course the IRS would consider anything they can't trace with chain analysis from the original buy to the final sale as a taxable event.
It's more about, don't get audited rather than don't tell them. Easier said than done as you have no control over this.
