IRS Tax Treatment of Crypto Assets Assets makes Bitcoin unusable as everyday money

Bitcoin is unusable as everyday money. The IRS treats a latte purchase as a taxable asset disposal. This treatment means every transaction for goods and services is a taxable event. Users must report these transactions as capital gains or losses, creating a significant paperwork burden for small purchases. Bitcoin is unusable as an everyday money because the IRS treats it as property.
