Biden propose to close $18 billion crypto tax loophole, community in uproar

Joe Biden tweeted earlier, saying he was planning to close a $18 billion dollar crypto tax loophole. And this tweet really got the crypto community a rilled-up.

$18 billion, that's a big hole

In the tweet from President Biden, he more or less puts the crypto tax loophole or holes against Food Safety Inspections. As apparently, that is something Republicans want to ax, meaning it has no impact on the rich and most likely benefits the poorer Americans. I am just assuming tho based on previous track records. As far as I know tho these things are not mutually exclusive. One could see a world where both coexist, like now. Or both can go away.


Tax loophole?

However, this tweet from Biden has caused quite a stir in the crypto community. And the biggest talking point appears to be the fact that no one seems to know what these tax loopholes are. And others pointing fingers telling him to go close the real tax loopholes. And the latter statement is one I agree with 100% as well. That said, sure if there are some crypto loopholes, close them as well by all means. But do not go on a crusade going after the small holes while you have gigantic gaping holes elsewhere.

What are your thought on this, do you know of any crypto tax loopholes? Or have you perhaps used one of them? If so please share your experience or thoughts on this with me and everyone else.

my guess, it means (at least partly) the privacy coins (what anyway they use, too), as they are untrackable.

if they announce something like this, they can't say it straight-forward way, the system belivers could figure it out. And anyway they are politicians.

They can't tax privacy coins, unless the given individual don't want to give away willingly his/her money to these parasites to steal or waste for nonsense.

Back in several years, it was normal (mean privacy as a standard in all cryptos, so fck tax. now that's gone, don't understand why people agree with that, but that's the case. Probably they love to pay tax, and getting back nothing, even their tax money will be used against them...)

I dont think it is regarding privacy coins. Mostly because of the reason you mention, there is no real way to track who have what unless people volunteer the info. And I don't think making them illegal is the same as fixing a loophole. As it is implied that closing the loopholes will bring the revenue with it.

Regarding paying tax, I do not really agree with your sentiment. But that's neither here nor there. =) and not really relevant. )=)
