How will you tell (or reveal) to your Bank that the huge daily (or weekly) deposits into your Bank Account are from crypto-currency profits?
- Would you go to your local Bank Branch and tell them ahead of time, that you are a crypto-currency investor BEFORE you make huge deposits?
- Would you go to your local Bank Branch and tell them that you are a crypto-currency investor AFTER you make huge deposits?
This question is important, especially for people of modest income that SUDDENLY start to make huge profits from crypto-currency.
EDIT: I would love to pop into my Local Bank branch (in the United Kingdom) to tell them that I am into crypto, but I am a local person in the area - I do not want to attract attention to myself (or to attract potential thieves), because we do not really know who these Bank staff really are, or if they have connections to the criminal underworld.
I do not want to turn myself into a local target.
I have been concerned about crypto profits. When I started looking into in after my first year in crypto, the advice I got was that it's not just crypto-to-fiat that is taxable, and crypto-to-crypto trade is also taxable. Of course everyone is free to go with their own judgement as the law isn't particularly clear, but I went safety first and paid tax. Needless to say I've been doing a lot less trading since then.
I don't think you'd make yourself a target unless you are cashing out a huge amount. For me the sums aren't that big.
