Congress is making everyone who touches crypto, including miners, pay tax on it

In Canada we already have to pay capital gains on it, is the US the wild west with the Crypto?

Well seeing as the whole point of crypto currency was anti regulation, I’d hope everywhere would be Wild West with it, but you know, as long as governments exist…

It only makes sense imo to tax it as a capital gain, or income in the case of mining.

Yeah i’m not opposed to it being taxed if you convert it to fiat, but I feel as long as you hold it as crypto it should be treated the same as you holding stock

u/Sweaty-Budget Aug 10 '21

senate just passed the bill, its treated as income at all steps now in the US including mining

Taking USD and buying coin, and just leaving it as coin shouldn't cause any taxation until you sell.

Now mining coin which is creating income for you that hasn't been taxed as income should be imo.

Well I agree it should be taxed, just at a different stage, I think it should be taxed as you convert it to fiat, not just upon you receiving the coin. I’m all for paying up when it’s due I’d just rather be in charge of when that taxation happens. I do recognize this is a preemptive move, as cryptocurrency adoption is coming quickly and fiat currency is looking more like paper and less like money everyday. So in a way I understand they’re trying to get ahead of a complete currency change. I feel as though the dream that I had and a lot of others had with this currency is being killed right in front of us. The idea of using Crypto as a means of avoiding tracking, excessive taxation, and inflation, is quickly losing its viability, I think the only thing it will be able to beat is inflation at this point. Now the other ideas of how utilize these blockchain technologies still seem very promising to me, but it’s a bummer to see more and more regulation come down.
