Sorry for jumping in here. I don't think within the realms of Australia, the government is not scared of crypto. In fact I think they have been looking on it as another form of income the whole country. Now as for the thinking that why should there be taxes on crypto since it is money after all. I think we should look at it as being if it is money, if you are earning money then there will be tax on it so I would say it would mean it is just natural to be paying your tax. If you want to have a functioning country.

You're right, it is "money" which is why the ATO is taxing it.
