Thank you for setting these people straight. They know nothing about BC, epically the upper.Toxic said:Even if you pay taxes on every transaction... who cares? You pay taxes when you realize a capital gain on stocks as well. Accept stocks aren't liquid 24/7 and it's difficult to trade stocks for cash in a peer to peer transaction.
If you were to sell at a capital loss, that'll offset your capital gains sales. So you're only adding to your tax burden when you MAKE MONEY from this conversion!
Oh, and if you learn about UTXO selection (an advanced concept) and choose to sell bitcoin that you've held for over a year, then you only pay long term capital gains.
