See this is the thing, when people abuse the relative anonymity of crypto in such illegal ways it hurts the entire space. Most people who want to use crypto just want a good investment that allows them 24/7 access to their funds without needing the govt's approval. I for one pay my taxes on capital gains just like with stocks, real estate, etc. and am not looking to cheat any ex. I imagine most people are like me in this regard. But we get screwed by govts justifying draconian levels of control by using these examples of people using crypto to try to skirt the law. This is how it gets harder and harder for everyday people to invest their income in the best performing asset of the last decade, and likely also the next decade.
