Reply to comment by persolb in Reuters: Global regulators to target crypto platforms after FTX crash by Globalist2

Im not asking how to avoid taxes. no one is trying to avoid taxes. FTX didn’t skip out on paying taxes. it stole money. the call for regulation isn’t because taxes went unpaid.

im asking how you regulate a global peer to peer network with multiple points of entry?

I’m not sure why you are on about taxes. Money launderers usually pay taxes on the money.

What I mean is that when you go to deposit money/coins in an exchange, they are going to likely end up filling out the same forms and doing the same reporting as if you walked up to a bank with $30k in cash.

Cash and gold are also a ‘global peer to peer network with multiple points of entry’, and the government forces companies to gate keep their entries.

Entries are kept by default on a public ledger. I also want to add that cash and gold are very centralized. Gold much less but it's not a viable means for exchanging value and it's hard to come by
