RE: We need a Better way to buy Bitcoin.
With the recent news about the IRS and Coinbase, I really don't want to use it for withdrawing funds. Are there better, trusted alternatives that aren't easily harassed by or within reach of the US government? An ATM in my neighborhood would be nice.
Well since most atms run off of Coinbase u are probably screwed. They all have to have kyc/aml at the very least anyway. If the IRS is an issue we need to change the laws regarding the IRS not run and hide our BTC with our tails between our legs
Change the laws...
That's a good one! The government will never change their laws to keep them out of the pockets of their "citizens." So, I guess I'll just have to find another option, unless Coinbase can somehow get around any IRS inquiries, which is doubtful.
The government is owned by the people. Just because they have forgotten doesn't mean it does not still apply.
Coinbase is taking the IRS to court over it so we will have to wait and see on that one. Two giants doing battle there I am sure Coinbase is nearly as powerful as the IRS already with the connections in government they have.
