if you report the income you've made from 2009 to today, by holding 2000 bitcoin, then you're free to spend it however you want and no one will bother you (by reporting it to the authorities, you'll obviously have to pay income taxes), if from the other side you don't want to report them, you'll have to sell small chunks to exchanges and convert them to fiat of 2k-4k USD, and do that consistently over some time. Either way you shouldn't be worried all too much, if you believe the exchange or bank might close your account, why not ask them what's the maximum amount they can deposit to your bank account? Usually people are more helpful than you think and it's in their best interest to tell you the trust, so that they're compliant with their KYC process
somebody is more then willing to pay tax. But should you not show HOW you made that amount of btc (the same with 10 million in cash, if they stop you on the road with ten million in cash they will put you in prison if you can not say where it came from)? authorities could think that somebody is a ransomware attacker or a darkweb criminal. The lawyer somebody spoke to said that you have to be able to show the source of your funds. He said something that criminal law says that you have to have proof for an offense. And that in tax law they can fine you on assumption. Somebody is confused and afraid.
selling it part by part, that is not a good option because it will take a life time. and somebody does not believe that btc will be the one and only for the rest of our lives. As well, if you exchange bit by bit, and it is a million in a few year, and somebody has a 1500 euro salary, that might be a red flag for the bank. somebody has already loads of cash and prepaid credit cards. exchanging bit by bit does not allow you to invest either, you are not able to buy a house with it, not able to invest a million in a companies etc..
the question is: will authorities allow it, if somebody has millions suddenly out of nothing and can not show where it came from. somebodys lawyer says he does not know what will happen and that he has to write the authorities which he is doing now.
