I Don't Want To Pay Tax On Bitcoin!

I'm sure its not just me when I say that I don't want to pay tax on bitcoin earnings.

Governments and banks have tried to discredit crypto-currencies and it sounds like they are now going to try and force exchanges to open up and spill their guts about customers crypto activities.

If the powers that be don't consider crypto's a currency then they should not benefit from any tax from investments made in crypto.

One of the reasons I find crypto so intriguing is the fact that governments and banks do not control it. I just wish they would keep their filthy noses out. Naive I know :)

What are everybody's thoughts of paying tax on crypto assets?

Obviously this is not legal or financial advice and I accept no responsibility if it is taken as such.
