I've been hearing a lot about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lately, and I'm curious about one thing: can the IRS track Bitcoin? I understand that Bitcoin transactions are anonymous and decentralized, but I'm wondering if there's any way for the government to trace these transactions if necessary. Are there any records or ledgers that the IRS can access to monitor Bitcoin activity? Or is it truly impossible to track?
