In most well developed countries Bitcoin is already being taxed since the difference with money is zero. If you have $50,000 in cash, Gold or Bitcoin, it doesn't matter since it all adds up to your total wealth. However, you have the obligation to declare all your Bitcoin holdings and the profits that you have made in order to come into a position of actually paying tax. Your honesty plays the most important role here.

If you declare everything honestly, then you pay tax. If you keep your stash away from the banks and governments and don't declare anything, there is no way they can see what you have, and thus you can avoid having to pay tax over what you have in Bitcoin. If you put the option of declaring your holdings and not declaring your holdings, then the easiest and cheapest way is to keep your mouth shut. That's why Bitcoin is seen as a great escape by a lot people here.

Check in dark net and go deeper into criminal world then you could find the reality. My imagination says that criminal prefer bitcoin and other form of currency over traditional bank system paper money because there is no privacy in paper currency so in order to hide themself they will definitely use something like bitcoin

that is not true. i can be sure someone is using bitcoin for illegal activities if i just check some evidence. like the block chain for example. let us say i see a youtube video of someone creating an address and i check that address later with its transactions. there i could find some bitcoin send to another address which belongs to an site which offer some illegal goods. i know the site, the owner of the address and the blockchain is the prove of he transaction. what do i need more?

I didn't read this whole thing, but this is obviously a troll post. Does anyone use dollar bills for illegal activities? Is the Sky blue? Does the sun set in the west? Are you a troll?

I have the same thought, neither bitcoin can be more anonymous than paper money, the difference between this two ways of payment is that one can be easily used for local trades and the other for international trades. We will never end with ilegal activities.

with the advantages of bitcoin as a currency that makes bitcoin anonymous appeal for a criminal to the less visible, happy or not bitcoin is used for illegal activities by some people

very true, like it or not bitcoin does have advantages that make people become easier to carry out illegal transactions. even since bitcoin has had the exchange rate, bitcoin has been used as a tool by some illegal transactions. yeah, but maybe it also makes the value of bitcoin be increased

yeah anyway if bitcoin actually used for illegal activities then what's the harm? all users are free to use bitcoin and there is no harm if they are using bitcoin to their interests, whatever it

well your point is correct since that it is a currency we shouldn't allow anyone to control it and it should be use in any way
so its true that bitcoin really possible to be use in illegal manner.

well we need to make a better job at explaining what bitcoin is. if we do it right we might end up with more legal businesses. but i see a problem here.
bitcoin is more complicated then fiat and most people have already a problem with the understanding of fiat money. educating is what we need the most.
