More and more countries, like Chile or India, are trying to tax their citizen for the crypto they hold.
Please don't pay taxes on your coins.
You really don't need it, unless you are totally ignorant.
It's simple: they cannot prove you have the coins on your PC/phone , so you don't have nothing to pay taxes on, as far as they know.
It's just their attempt to trick the ignorants that don't know about that Even if they look for your wallet on your PC/phone ,
your wallet data is not accessible to them because it's encrypted with password ( uhm.... have you set the password protection on your wallet... right?
).
Of course you are not going to give them the wallet password.
Oh.. they tell you that you withdrawn the coins from an exchange, so that's the proof you have the coins?
Just say that it was an hacker that stole your coins from the exchange, not you.
You got robbed, and you don't have to pay taxes on the money that was stolen from you, right?
P.S. for the geeks: use Veracrypt
We cannot let this foolishness and abuse keep on going. We all know crypto is a decentralized currency, the government or any other organization doesn't have any control over it or any right to put a tax on it. The fees on exchages are already consuming some people's investment and adding up taxes would be another problem to many. Let us not stay blinded and know our rights. We should not let them steal the money we are working hard for and start making an action.
