The government is taking your money and if someone challenges them IN COURT you might not have to give it to them.
'CRYPTO TO CRYPTO' trades are being taxed as if you sold from 'CRYPTO to FIAT to CRYPTO', except you actually didn't. You went from 'CRYPTO to CRYPTO. You don't pay the government when you change currencies at a currency exchange for example USD to CAD.
They treat it like you sold 'IBM stock for APPLE stock'. Which would be 'IBM to FIAT to APPLE'.
Is anybody working on behalf of the community?
