Episode notes
Bitcoin Left Out Of De Minimis Tax Break
- Congress gave stablecoins a $200 de minimis tax exemption but excluded Bitcoin entirely.
- The draft fixes double taxation for proof-of-stake validators but leaves Bitcoin miners still taxed on receipt and sale, creating unequal treatment.
CBO Scoring Blocks Fair Bitcoin Tax Treatment
- The Congressional Budget Office scoring is the practical barrier to a Bitcoin de minimis exemption.
- CBO scores the exemption as significant revenue loss even though small Lightning purchases rarely generate reported taxes today.
Contact Officials To Influence Crypto Bills
- Bitcoiner engagement matters now: contact elected officials to influence tax and regulatory language.
- Natalie urges listeners to make their voices heard before bills are finalized to avoid bad legislation.
