Late last year, the Internal Revenue Service persuaded a federal judge
to require Coinbase, a San Francisco-based digital-currency wallet
and platform with about 20 million customers, to turn over customer
information. Driving the IRS’s decision was its belief that few bitcoin
investors appear to be paying taxes due on sales. The court order is
one of the agency’s first moves as it clamps down on cryptocurrency
scofflaws.

A bitcoin investor bemoaned
The fact that he soon would be boned
By IRS brutes
In cheap linen suits
And have all his ventures dethroned.
An IRS agent did relish
Making taxpayer’s lives hellish.
With bitcoin investors
He used all his jesters
To constantly taunt and embellish.
For every job opening in America, there’s now
barely more than one unemployed person
available to take it.
A job is a job is a job;
It makes you just one of the mob
That punches the clock
Or tries to sell schlock --
Without any money in Schwab.
