When Every Coffee Feels Like a Capital Gains Report
You walk into a café.
You’ve got Bitcoin.
You want to use it.
But in the back of your mind… “Will I have to report this?”
That’s the BTC Tax Trap.
In many countries, spending Bitcoin triggers a taxable event.
Buy a latte → calculate cost basis → report gain/loss → repeat forever.
No wonder we hesitate.
Even hardcore maxis pause when it means opening Excel.
Here’s what’s broken:
💸 $BTC is treated like property, not currency
📄 Every transaction = taxable
📉 Friction discourages spending
This isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a psychological blockade.
So what needs to change?
Raise microtransaction exemptions (like some EU proposals)
Automate tax tracking in wallets (yes, please)
Push for currency treatment in practical daily use
If Bitcoin is meant to be spent, it must be simple, clean, and legally painless.
You shouldn’t need a CPA to buy a sandwich.
Until the law adapts, Bitcoin spending remains a minefield for normies.
