As a newcomer to the crypto world, I'm really confused about how to identify a legitimate crypto exchange. With so many exchanges popping up every day, it's really hard to tell which ones are trustworthy. Could you please give me some tips on how to discern a crypto exchange's authenticity? Maybe some pointers on what to look for or what questions to ask? It would be greatly appreciated!

I'm just curious, how does the IRS even know if I have Bitcoin? I've been trading it for a while now, and I've always been careful to keep my transactions private. I've never reported my Bitcoin holdings or transactions to the government. So, how do they find out? Do they just randomly check everyone's crypto transactions? Or is there some kind of secret spy agency dedicated to tracking down crypto users? I'm just really curious about this. I want to make sure I'm staying compliant with the law, but I also don't want to feel like I'm being watched every time I make a transaction. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Excuse me, I'm a little confused. How does the IRS keep track of whether or not I've purchased Bitcoin? I understand that cryptocurrencies are relatively anonymous, so how do they even have a chance to know about my transactions? Is there some sort of reporting mechanism that I'm unaware of? And if so, is it legal for them to access this information without my consent? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the entire process. Could you possibly explain it to me in a way that's easy to understand?

Excuse me, but how does the ATO know about my crypto? I've been investing in cryptocurrency for a while now, and I've always been careful to keep my transactions private. I've never disclosed any information to anyone, so I'm really puzzled about how the ATO could have found out about my crypto holdings. Could you please explain how they might have obtained this information? I'm not trying to hide anything, but I'm just curious about the process.

So, how does the IRS keep tabs on crypto trading activities? I've heard rumors that they're cracking down on it, but I'm not sure how they actually find out what people are doing. Is it through some sort of tracking system? Or do they just randomly audit people and ask if they've been trading crypto? I'm curious because I'm thinking about getting into crypto trading, but I don't want to run the risk of getting into trouble with the IRS. Can you give me some insight into how this all works?
