CoinBase: Can be used as a bank - You convert your BTC to EUR/USD and keep it there

I just realized this.
I have bitcoins, from blackhat business, and was thinking in myself.
Let's say bitcoin has fallen, or I think it will decline, where would I keep my money?
It's not so evident to keep in my real bank, because I didn't report any of this income.
So I was thinking, hey, I can just convert the BTC to EUR or USD, and keep it in coinbase EUR account.
That way, if BTC drops, or even crashes, I won't lose my money, and it won't be subject to any fluctuations.
Thinking Coinbase is a safe place or "bank" to store money is like using an actual bank.

They report everything. Please do not think this is an OK method sir.

I'm not stupid.
I don't accept the funds directly to CoinBase.
I exchange and the exchanger sends his BTC to my Coinbase acc.

By the way, blackhat, cuz you don't pay taxes on it, and it's kinda illegal, but not like Botnet or RATs type of stuff.

Listen to what you're saying though. You want to not claim taxes on it but storing it in a place that reports to the IRS or whatever tax agency for your country.

Taxes here are 30% for students and easily 40%+ or up to 50% for non-students.
I don't imagine not wanting to pay that makes me broke. 🙂
idk like you can also just hedge? Bitmex no KYC at all you for example have 10K in btc you long with no leverage for 5K and short with 5K at the same price.
you don't have a fee to pay cus u don't use leverage and u don't have lose money because well you are fully hedged

Tether is subject to fluctuation like any other crypto currency.

Tether also just got wacked by the FTC, stay tf away. EU coinbase account should be fine, if it's fully verified and the balance is under $10K I think you can trade on Coinbase Pro for near-free.

Don't worry, I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Trading is not really a thing I want to do necessarily. Just accept and store it.
