Or you move it to another address shortly after buying, giving you plausible deniability and no real tax impact?

thats a good way to put it.....or leave the country

Right. I think the idea above is you buy hashrate and take the tax event, then when you mine it is on you to report it.

I can also see how different mining payouts could impact the move to a no-kyc stack. Eg potential to hit a luck streak on a PPLNS pool.

(Also, I’m not an accountant)
