  While I am not a tax professional, it is important to note that failing to report cryptocurrency purchases can have consequences. The IRS in the United States has made it clear that they expect individuals to report their cryptocurrency transactions. Failure to do so can result in penalties, including fines and interest. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are in compliance with the tax laws in your jurisdiction.
