Bipartisan Bill Seeks to Eliminate Taxes on Crypto Transactions Under $50
The measure was introduced by senators Patrick Toomey and Kyrsten Sinema.
This might change things A LOT. It would, at least, open the door for crypto to be used in buying and selling -- and holding crypto. Right now it is a nightmare which requires stores to pretty much always immediately convert any crypto to dollars...and even to track an report all people who present crypto.
I looked into buying a little etherium 8 months ago and I chickened out, because of all the data I had to turn over to the exchange (driver license, facial scan, bank account numbers, where I lived, etc. etc.)
Given how things have gone with crypto, I'm glad I didn't go through with purchasing a little...but this would presumably change that....just keep transactions under $50 and you are pretty okay.
