Why does everyone think that if you spend a Bitcoin there will be a freaking IRS Agent contacting you for their cut? They are barely equipped and trained to handle their current responsibilities. Now, all of a sudden, there will be IRS ninjas popping out of your computer? Such paranoia!
If I find a dealership that will take Bitcoins, and I buy a vehicle using Bitcoins, they have absolutely no obligation to contact anyone but the vehicle registration office to transfer the title. Where the hell does the IRS come in to this? Are vehicle dealers now authorized undercover IRS agents? The imagination is a crazy thing I guess.
There is some crazy, baseless bullshit being spread on this board.
I'm not saying this to be sarcastic, but some of us legitimately just want to obey the law regardless of the likelihood of one getting caught for breaking it. We do have a process in this country for adding and removing laws as necessary. When people start deciding that they can pick and choose which laws apply to them, it's a very slippery slope and you can run into a major crisis pretty quickly.
Frankly, if even 75% of people were totally honest on their taxes and didn't try to cheat out of paying some of what they technically owe, the IRS wouldn't be so aggressive and wouldn't feel the need to create a thousand rules. The problem is people aren't that honest.
