I happened to witness an older man at a cafe confidently saying, "You don't have to file taxes if it's a cryptocurrency." I couldn't help but laugh, but I guess there are surprisingly many misconceptions like this. Considering the transparency of blockchain and the maturity of the market, that idea is definitely too risky. Now that the Web3 world is expanding, it's crucial to improve tax literacy alongside it, or else it could lead to serious trouble down the line.

Bro, your idea is really brilliant. Uncle, are you living in a parallel universe?

Haha, that brother is probably still living in 2015. Everything on the chain is just records, bro.

Haha, this guy clearly didn't do his homework. With such transparent on-chain data now, tax authorities can find out even if they want to investigate. Still trying to hide? But honestly, this kind of tax loophole is indeed the best way to cut leeks—waiting to be fined and then regretting it. By then, the interest could eat up half of your gains. The big players hope retail investors think this way; the fewer compliant people, the better. Wait, you really can't take tax matters lightly. The last chance for retail investors to get in is now—hurry up and pay your taxes. Don't wait until the risk is exposed and then cry. To be honest, there are a lot of people in the crypto world who understand technical analysis, but how many understand tax issues? That’s the real support level.

Haha, this guy really dares to say that, everything on the chain is transparent and he still wants to hide taxes? IRS has already got their eyes on it. --- Tax compliance is really becoming intense. If you don’t do your homework, you’ll definitely get caught. --- I’ve also seen people like this, doing DeFi on one hand and fantasizing on the other. Wake up, brother. --- In the Web3 era, evading taxes has become an easy task. Seriously, don’t make things worse. --- Still dare to say such things now? How much can you fool yourself? --- Isn’t tax reporting a basic operation? With such transparent on-chain data, still trying to be lucky? --- Brother, your logic is too crazy. You’ve passed KYC but still want to shake off the national tax bureau? --- Some people really confuse anonymity with transparency. It’s hilarious.

Haha, this uncle is too outrageous. Everything on the chain is recorded. --- Really? Does anyone still believe this? It should have been investigated long ago. --- Don't try to cheat the tax authorities. You'll be caught sooner or later. --- Wake up, everyone. The transparent ledger is right there. --- About this... did that guy get fined later? --- Deceiving oneself ultimately hurts only oneself. --- With Web3 here, the tax authorities are not sitting idle either.
