Soooo, no tax since it isn’t mine??
tldr; The Supreme Court case Harper v. O’Donnell challenges the IRS’s warrantless access to digital records stored by third parties, such as cryptocurrency transactions on Coinbase. Jim Harper argues that his digital records are his property, protected under the Fourth Amendment, and that the IRS violated his rights by accessing them without a warrant. The case could redefine digital privacy and the ‚third-party doctrine,‘ which currently allows government access to data shared with businesses. Advocates call for stronger legal protections for digital records as personal property.

Should make intuitive sense. Your digital footprint is owned by whoever collects footprint information.
We would never pretend like footprints we leave in the snow belong to us right? Why would anyone have thought actions / interactions that leave a digital footprint would be any different.
Plus…blockchain is a public ledger….I hope the guy in this case gets rekt by the IRS.
An interesting take. But footprint being the word is different from what is actually happening which is more akin to stalking than lose footprint collection, which is illegal.
Just interested in where the line is and where the discussion goes I truly am curious. And haven’t decided where I fall.
Sharing my taxes with them too.
