Not a lot of work at all. I'm not talking about avoiding taxes or doing anything nefarious. I'm talking about our civil liberties which is in jeopardy every day. Wasn't this country founded by people who did not want government controlling our lives, especially our money? Why should I disclose to anyone when I buy a house, car or pizza? It is not the governments business what the hell I do with my money? We are all sheep. We've let the government in on our lives and rolled over like sheep. This is far from what our forefathers envisioned. We are tracked like cattle. Anyone can know where you are and where you're going. It's awful.

If I buy BTC at $5k and it grows to $10k in the next few months. Should I have to pay $5k in capital gains? Why? What if BTC goes to zero? Will the IRS give me $5k? Absolutely not. Fukking double standard. I do not want anyone, least of all the government knowing or managing my money. Hell no.
