Places like the US and UK like to give the impression that they're better and less corrupt than these nations, but they're not. They continually use these double standards whilst pretending to be morally superior and civilised.

very obvious now. we need some kind of protection from tyrannical psychopaths and their blackmailing i would say. But let's wait and see and give them one last chance to make it right and apply same standards before we start rebellion. They may come up with another law after all in case their thinktanks get fed this forums information what i would think is the case.

Unfortunately people aren’t that smart nor do they really care. If they did we would've already had a revolution/rebellion.

they said both - it is money and it is not money - they said it is an asset and it is not an asset.
So whenever they can tax it it will be what they need it to be in order for them to be able to tax it.
If they could tax it five times they would.

Maybe it's both and they might tax it as both. I'm sure they'll keep changing their stance on it to what's beneficial to them.

but wait when in goes to court - will you also be able to claim it is both? that is called 'doublestandard' and it is outside of the rule of law since it is a breach in logic.

One thing that is 'x' and not 'y' can not be another thing 'y' and not 'x' at the same time.

This is the logic proof.

Courts operate logically? Cheesy

I think governments regularly use double-standards.

then that is not a state that operates under the rule of law and therefore is a regime like in northkorea or like any african monarchy. They could abandon courts, congress and all at any second and make someone king for lifetime. Just around the corner ... when there is no law we can follow then there is also no tax we can pay to be honest

This is the logic proof. So either they decide it is x or y and stick to that or they can just abandon the rule of law. If they want to decide it is both x and y it needs to be x and y all the time

I doubt the US will ever recognise it as legal tender, but it's not going to stop them from trying to take their cut.

Some used to say cannabis would never be legal in America and alcohol was once illegal. So I wonder if things get bad enough or mass adoption becomes very popular there could be a paradigm shift.

Cannabis isn't legal in the United States. It's very much illegal at a federal level. SOME states have decriminalized it, inside their states, but that doesn't protect anyone from federal prosecution.

Perhaps some states will give Bitcoin significantly more recognition and adoption than others. I'm sure that's already happening though.

The revolution will be monetized!

What is legal tender in the U.S.? To my knowledge only U.S. Dollars are legal tender. It should come as no surprise that bitcoin can't be used to pay taxes.

On a positive note UK scraps VAT on crypto trades: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26426550

Capital gains tax still applies though.

What is capital gains these days? I heard that it was something around £10k PA, but how is it even trackable? Is it one of those where it only matters if you take the piss with your capital gains?

Interesting. Best thing to do is just to buy things with the bitcoins and sell the goods you receive, after you have used the goods a little, of course

Not sure. Think it's more than that. It's not really trackable, but if you sell the Bitcoins though an exchange they can track you that way.

It'll be something that 99.9999% of the time, will go unnoticed. Though if you're part of the 0.0001% that gets picked up through an exchange or by buying something with BTC, it's not going to be fun explaining to the government that you forgot to pay taxes.

In the U.S. more people are caught for tax evasion due to a friend/family member/neighbor ratting them out than any other reason because they are living above their apparent means then the IRS triggers an audit after receiving a report/tip/complaint. They CAN come to your house and ask you to show a receipt for everything in it as part of an audit or even without an audit, it was actually pretty common pre computers for 'the revenue man' to stop by houses and businesses and do inspections, you can even see it being made fun of in older tv shows. I'm blanking on what show it was but on one black & white show

And while the 4th amendment does allow you to say 'nope' they'll just go get a warrant and come back.

The IRS wants to have it's cake and eat it too.

"It's not money! ...err... but we're going to have to ask you to give us some of that money, please."

What a joke. Our Congress legislates slower and slower, while technology moves faster and faster. They are hopeless. Doomed. Irrelevant. Obsolete.

This is going to end the same way the copywrong war ended. Individuals win, central authorities lose.

IRS and every other nation's fiat-money enforcement departments = Blockbuster Video = OBSOLETE

Tax evasion does largely go unnoticed as it's hard to spot if you're careful. That's why they always go down hard on celebs who get caught to send a message.
