Hi @Edgon, That is an intriguing article. Yes, the IRS is wishing for just such a gift to fall in its lap, to find a way to assess capital gains on bitcoin users. The truth is, however, the only way they could accomplish such a feat is by having transactions reside on something other than a bitcoin blockchain that they control. Unless world govts somehow bought up 51% of Bitcoin and controlled the fork process, they cannot change the anonymous nature of bitcoin transactions and the decentralized ledger itself is virtually hackproof. Still, I would rather know what my enemies are up to than be caught napping! Thanks for the post:-) Upvoted and followed
