Thankfully it's a personal use asset in Australia.

You only have to pay taxes on Bitcoin if you treat it like a stock and "invest" in it.

Not an Australian here, so asking out of curiosity: how does the govt discern between bitcoin sitting in a wallet as an investment vs sitting in a wallet for spending? Is the differentiator whether or not it was purchased on an exchange?
