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?
