Could it really be another way with the country that owns and regulates the most used currency in the world?

It is going to be a tough one to enforce, but I guess that's their business.

It's interesting that countries are taking different approaches. Such a wild thing to witness.

It has legal standing now. Folks can write off losses. Audits might be fun. The sad/funny part is that the politics of it are being compromised in the process.
