Ownership of other assets tends to have legal documents of when it was purchased though. How does anyone know how long you've held it? You could prove it if it's been in the same wallet the whole time, with the transaction ID, and proof of ownership of the wallet. But what if you transferred it between wallets, and lost the first?

- yellow_lead 5y agoThe Blockchain doesn't mandate that you hold the private key of any wallet you owned since you acquired some Bitcoin assets.
- gruez 5y agoAnd a piece of paper doesn't mandate that you actually transacted on the date it claims you did.
