Every government will outlaw it and use their own virtual currency. There is zero chance they will allow Bitcoin to survive.

That being said, I guess I am glad I bought some.

Sharing is polite.
"Racist" is a toolword. You must know that.
Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

Heard that there is a question on the IRS return form now.....asking for you to declare if you have sold bitcoin or other cryptocurrency.

Why would you buy GBTC? That is a stupid way to buy Bitcoin. Purchase it directly.

Not if it makes money. It was prohibited to buy directly in a few states, Hawaii being one of them. A few years ago I made arrangements to buy bitcoin, had to meet a guy in Ala Moana Park, said forget it. That was 2017. It's easier now, restrictions all but lifted in 2021.

So. They've forgotten what Capt. Cook did to them, huh?

Find a private buyer. If you sell them on an exchange (at least on Coinbase), they will report it to the IRS. The stuff is not perfectly liquid yet.

I was looking around and I believe there are gold sellers that you can pay in Bitcoin.

I have been investigating tax ramifications.
