This is hilarious in some sense. A government having a Coinbase account. Will they pay tax? 🤣🤣Hope they have realized that Bitcoin is not worthless after all 🙂

How do you calculate a capital gain on something the government seized (i.s., stole)? paying it to themselves?

Well right, I guess the German government doesn’t pay tax in the US even though Coinbase is based in the US.
I assume every single euro from ~2 billion euros they got from the trade would be a capital gain.
