Seriously?

Digging into this again to get you a reference and it looks like I am wrong. There is a mark-to-market regime, but (1) I don't qualify under the 3 tests, and (2) even if I did there is a $600,000 reduction and an $821,000 exclusion.... looks really complicated to work out though... but worth it to stop filing US taxes.

Hire a CPA. They are worth it, if only for the liability protection they provide if they give you bad advice

Under penalties and perjury...so they never forced you to sign.

Why can't you renounce?

Just pay the exit tax,especially if you believe BTC might be worth more in the future.

Looks like if I renounce I will not be a "covered expatriate" according to instructions for form 8854.

I'm gonna do this.

Go get ur freedom

What Bitcoin is for theft through inflation, Monero is for theft through taxes.

The second is even more powerful, as it changes the relationship between individual and state.
