Listen to this man. @BillHughesDC If you run a crypto company that has policy people or simply a lawyer, then there is zero excuse for your company not to submit a comment now. Ask your employee RIGHT NOW what your company is doing. Get involved, now, if you haven't been already. And please, don't just say privacy is important to you and that current reg schemes don't get new technology, etc. If you are vague and academic, what you say will be of scant impact. TREASURY/IRS WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE FOR YOU TO COMPLY WITH THE PROPOSED RULE. HOW LONG. HOW EXPENSIVE. HOW DIFFICULT. WHETHER ITS IMPOSSIBLE IN CERTAIN RESPECTS. Be specific in what this proposal actually means for you, and they will listen. They sincerely want the feedback. Talk about how hard it would be for you to comply with user tax data collection, withholding, 1099 reporting, transaction monitoring, cost basis tracking, etc. if that is indeed the case. If you CAN'T know certain information the reporting obligations requires you to know and report, then explain why you can't. Please, don't cut corners here. Don't assume someone else will make an argument on your behalf. What the rules are and when they go into effect is a big deal, so don't twiddle your thumbs with this.
