As a wise man once said, there is no escaping taxes and death once you are born. When bitcoin was introduced there was a glimmer of hope, most of us thought that we might just be able to escape taxes.

Now that bitcoin is considered as money, asset, commodity, currency and what not by various government agencies in the United States, one can do nothing but pay relevant taxes.
