U.S. President Donald Trump's advisor, Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey, announced plans to seek the repeal of the income tax on Bitcoin transactions. This initiative could be a game-changer for the cryptocurrency market if implemented after his re-election. Bailey emphasized that the current tax policy has hindered the growth of the crypto industry, and repealing the tax would encourage investors and miners. He also linked the idea to the administration's plans to create a strategic reserve of Bitcoins, which could strengthen the U.S.'s position as a leader in digital assets.
This step has sparked controversy: supporters believe it will support innovation, while critics warn of potential losses for the budget and the risk of money laundering. Currently, Bitcoin in the U.S. is subject to capital gains tax, complicating trading for many. If Bailey's proposal is approved, it could lower barriers to the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.
The news comes amid a growing interest from Trump in cryptocurrencies, contrasting with his previous statements about Bitcoin being a scam. Experts are monitoring the situation, as it could affect the global crypto ecosystem.
