Hopefully, it's not another tulip and bulb craze. I think if big web vendors like Amazon did pick up Bitcoin as currency then it's here to stick around

Thanks for the articles! Now, I'm wondering if anyone is evading these taxes or if for the most part all American Bitcoin users pay for these? I'm not trying to avoid or anything I'm also doing a research paper on this.

Ah alright that's a shame. It doesn't seem like mining is that profitable right now either.

I'm interested in dealing with Bitcoins, and I read that in the U.S. Bitcoin transactions are subjected to capital gains tax and mining is subjected to income tax. I was wondering if these taxes are actually paid when dealing with Bitcoins or is it just for show and not actually being enforced?

I just read the thread asking about any legit free Bitcoin sites, and most of the users commented that they are a waste a time. I was wondering if anyone had any good experiences with them?
