Cryptocurrency: Activism Required Now - Govt RAID Insane TX Tracking Data Collection Tax Theft Jailed SmallBiz Terrorist KYC PATRIOT
You need to flood these idiot regulators with comments... https://www.standwithcrypto.org/ https://treasuryraid.lexpunk.army/ Comment deadline Nov. 13: https://x.com/CryptoTaxGuyETH/status/1716812425989910689 https://cointelegraph.com/news/irs-proposes-unprecedented-data-collection-cr... https://www.regulations.gov/document/IRS-2023-0041-0001 https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/23/2023-23449/proposal-of-... I see tons of comments in this thread along the lines of "it doesn't matter, they'll do whatever they want anyways." This is not true. First, they have to process all the comments, per the Administrative Procedure Act. This takes time and effort and at a minimum will delay implementation. Second, if they blatantly ignore a large number of substantive comments the regulation will be easier to challenge in court once implemented. (And you can be certain this one will be challenged in court if it gets implemented as is, if only because it's so broad and unclear.) And third, if they get a huge amount of outcry there's a chance they realize they're on thin ice and will at least remove the worst aspects of the regulation. So please don't be complacent and defeatist. This is a moment where you can make a difference. It only takes a few minutes to send a comment in and/or call your representative. The website standwithcrypto.org shows how to do it quickly. The proposed regulation is here: Gross Proceeds and Basis Reporting by Brokers and Determination of Amount Realized and Basis for Digital Asset Transactions This is devastation overbearing regulation that will require all CEXs, DEXs (ALL DeFi) to track to KYC/AML all US based customers. Expect most DeFi to leave the US if this occurs. If approved it will go into affect staring January 2025 - only 14 months from now.

I can vouch for them taking some comments seriously. If your comment is along the lines of "fuck you" or "this is contrary to what defi is for!" or "facists!" or anything pointless like that, yeah, they'll ignore it. If you can explain, dispassionately and based on actual facts, why their proposal will be ineffective or counterproductive at achieving their stated goals, is outside the scope of their statutory authority (based on their actual governing legislation and judicial precedent, not hand-waiving crap just talking about the constitution), or would be in conflict with other established regulations, then they'll take it really seriously and try to either explain why they disagree or incorporate you comment into how they implement any final rule. The system actually works, especially with relatively small agencies. The biggest problem is there's lots pointless, garbage comments that get made because lots of commenters think they're smarter than they really are and say either meritless, pointless garbage, or give what would be actual insightful comments but they are wholly unaware of the actual regulatory structure of the government (as in, governing legislation, administrative laws, precedent, etc). permalink embed save parent report reply [–]serialmentor 0 points1 point2 points 1 hour ago (0 children) Thanks for providing this insight.

Blockchain, designed to create trust in transactions while maintaining anonymity… doesn’t maintain anonymity, rather it creates a tool for government to monitor your every transaction. Didn’t see that coming at all… permalink embed save report reply [–]Mr_Carry 5 points6 points7 points 8 hours ago (3 children) Sort of. It can only maintain anonymity up until a point of KYC. Then it's a guessing game of "follow that transaction"--with no verifiable evidence of who owns which address. That said: the end game of blockchain money is not KYC. It's blockchain money. There will come a day--and i think sooner than we think--where everyone realizes money is broken and crypto is actually just way more convenient. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]megamaid12 0 points1 point2 points 6 hours ago* (1 child) A computer can work that in less time than it takes to render this page.

Beyond the KYC address, you still have to prove ownership of some or many of the addresses in the chain of transactions to reasonably establish who the addresses belong to. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]AvatarOfMomus 0 points1 point2 points 4 hours ago (0 children) That's not how laws work mate... if the US government says "you need to do these things or you're violating the law" and a Blockchain system says "I am incapable of doing those things by design!" the response of government isn't "well darn, oh well" it's "Cool, you're illegal now.

It can be regulated about as well as media piracy--they try, and they pass laws and some people comply, and some people go to jail. But it's still accessible and easy, and out of the reach of an increasingly over-reaching security state.

This is exactly what this rule is targeting. They actually want your DeFi provider to KYC you. Read the rules if you don't believe me. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Ima_Wreckyou 6 points7 points8 points 5 hours ago (0 children) If it's actually decentralized then the "DeFi" is just a smart contract and no one can add KYC. If you can, then it's not decentraliced and hence it's not really DeFi. This doesn't add KYC to DeFi, what it does is make actual DeFi illegal in the US and criple their fintec industry for years by removing access to new more efficient technology. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]totalolage 2 points3 points4 points 6 hours ago (0 children) Use this too to easily generate and submit a comment: https://treasuryraid.lexpunk.army permalink embed save report reply [–]thomasnicole7 2 points3 points4 points 5 hours ago (0 children) Typical government overreach.

No amount of comments will stop them. This isn’t a law. It’s an agency rule. An executive agency in the US can arbitrarily pass any rules they want. Remember net neutrality? permalink embed save report reply [–]serialmentor 4 points5 points6 points 8 hours ago (0 children) Comments may not stop them, but they will delay them. They have to process all the comments that are filed. I've seen estimates that every 1000 comments can delay implementation by a year. Also, comments can make a difference in a later legal challenge of the rule. So please don't be complacent.

You guys still need to learn what decentralization is about and that "DEX" built on Ethereum and other smart contract chains may look more sexy and convenient at first than those built as P2P networks similar to bittorrent, but they more often than not have a CEO and a company or a foundation behind them taht will be pressured by big government. Simply stop using pseudo DEX. permalink embed save report reply [–]Tipyapha 1 point2 points3 points 6 hours ago (0 children) The US is a hysterical nation. permalink embed save report reply [–]CRTsdidnothingwrong 1 point2 points3 points 8 hours ago (3 children) Damn, it seems like your crypto must have a problem if the IRS can monitor your on chain activity. I don't have a problem with them using all the tools they have to enforce the tax laws. If you want the laws changed, change those not hamstring the enforcement. If you don't want your on chain activity monitored, try using crypto that would prevent that. Don't use plain public ledger crypto and then say "aww man, the government can't look at this public information I'm putting out there, that's not fair". permalink embed save report reply [–]cyger[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 hours ago (2 children) Easy to say, then next they will ban your privacy coin, what is to stop them? permalink embed save parent report reply [–]synthetichills 1 point2 points3 points 5 hours ago (0 children) They can ban Pythagoras theorem, doesn’t mean they can enforce it. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]CRTsdidnothingwrong 0 points1 point2 points 5 hours ago (0 children) Idk, I live in America not the communist EU. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]liquid_at 3 points4 points5 points 10 hours ago (0 children) iirc, crypto was intended as an alternative to corrupt markets. Those having been early in crypto now wanting to turn crypto into what the CeFi world already is, a corrupt market full of criminals, seem to have forgotten that, but accidentally discovered how billionaires think. Crypto is intrinsically public. It's a feature, not a bug. If you do not trust your government, move to a country where you trust the government. Crypto will not change your issues with your own government. The only thing that changes issues with your government is an election. Don't try to turn national problems into a global problem. permalink embed save report reply [–]I_talk 0 points1 point2 points 1 hour ago (0 children) This is why low cap PoW privacy coins are the hidden gems and talking about them gets removed.

We should demand privacy with our peer to peer transactions. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Instantbeef -1 points0 points1 point 10 hours ago* (2 children) I haven’t read it but wouldn’t it be simpler to do it on the wallet side if they wanted to do this? Wallet providers KYC you before giving you a wallet. That way defi doesn’t need to do shit, wallets are not protocols but businesses, and then it would no peer to peer transactions too for money laundering. I don’t think either is necessary. Especially if the government thinks it’s worthless lol. permalink embed save report reply [–]cyger[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 hours ago (1 child) Sometimes I set up test wallets, one time wallets for a layer 2 or just to experiment. Needing to KYC for a wallet is an overreach in my opinion. Would you want the IRS to know what is in the wallet in your pants at all times, and what you spend your cash on in every case? permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Instantbeef 0 points1 point2 points 6 hours ago (0 children) Totally correct, I guess I was speaking from the point of view of the government lol.

Governments won't allow it unless they have a way to track it all and/or get their cut. That is really what it comes down to. US government acts like mobsters in this regard. Crypto will usher in extreme tyranny, not freedom. Look at events worldwide. There is a huge push to put up cameras in a ton of cities across the world for crime and green energy use (monitoring us). In this little town next to me, literally a few thousand people they are installing cameras on majority of the streets to "help reduce crime".

While the proposal is not as severe as it could have been, it still raises concerns about privacy and financial surveillance. The IRS's approach focuses on whether businesses have the ability to collect customer information, rather than whether they actually do. This expansion of financial reporting requirements is part of a broader trend in the US government. However, it is important to question the premise of such surveillance and protect individuals' privacy rights. Ultimately, the responsibility to reform the system lies with Congress. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

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.
🚨RAID ALERT🚨 LeXpunK Army troops are hereby MOBILIZED to OPPOSE the IRS's new draconian anti-crypto tax rules Make your voice heard by sending your complaints to the IRS through our convenient AI-powered drafting tool: treasuryraid.lexpunk.army/ https://x.com/LeXpunK_Army/status/1713186445572166028 For a summary of why these rules are so terrible and effectively impossible to comply with, see this comprehensive thread from LeXpunKer @CryptoTaxGuyETH https://x.com/CryptoTaxGuyETH/status/1695603888957641154 @CryptoTaxGuyETH Aug 27 PROPOSED TAX REGS THREATEN US BLOCKCHAIN ACCESS Yesterday the IRS proposed crypto broker reporting regs. If finalized in their current form, the regs would require websites like those for @Uniswap, @opensea, and @etherscan, & many block builders, to geoblock US people. A🧵... Wowzers ! Sooo streamlined, takes just a few clicks & my voice is heard through IRL & FOR the Metaverse. Please consider having a letter created in less than a minute with all your important #Crypto points highlighted. “ They “ are required & HAVE to listen to our comments. If enough of us rally together, we can transform our future for generations. Send HALP 🔊 I used the tool and think it's great. It wrote pretty much exactly what I wanted, and I edited as needed. it's like a junior associate. not sure why lawyers wouldn't understand that RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth @RyanSAdams Oct 19 Elizabeth Warren is trying to kill crypto in the U.S. It's aggressive. It's coordinated. I was about to record the rollup with @TrustlessState this week and what do i see? A letter from Elizabeth Warren asking the IRS to speed up its already hasty af implementation of new tax rules that would kill all DeFi front ends in the U.S. I repeat - the IRS hamfisted interpretation of new tax rules WOULD KILL defi in the U.S. AND instead of waiting for citizen comment to adjust to something reasonable - Senator Warren wants the IRS to speed it up so we don't have time to react! Just ram it down our throats. This crap slips under our radar because it's so constant. No one has time to parry every attackLike just yesterday - Elizabeth Warren published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled “Cryptocurrency Feeds Hamas’s Terrorism.” Like wtf? Hamas terrorism?? Opportunistically dishonest. Low rung politics. Crypto has not been a factor in Hamas terrorism. At. All. Maybe the U.S. government should check what it's funding, not crypto. She's using every bad thing that happens in the world to to malign an open internet protocol that transfers value peer-to-peer. Like, imagine a politician going after TCP/IP this way. Elizabeth Warren is trying to kill crypto and you have to ask why. Who does this senator work for? Because it's not the American people. If care about the future of this country you have to fight this digital authoritarianism.

You want terrorists on sound blockchains and privacy coins, because that means that your own funds which outweigh theirs by 1B to 1 are secure from arbitrary political and economic censorship, theft, takeover, etc as well.
