Does Poloniex declare capital gains to the government?
I invested a year ago into cryptocurrency and I've made a significant amount of money. I put down my real name and address, but does Polo leave a paper trail or tell the government if I convert my crypto into bitcoin?
Does it declare it if I take my coins out and then I sell them on another exchange?
They probably don't, crypto is seen as a good not a product. If you convert to us then you pay tax, that's why you should buy with crypto instead of selling to usd.

I live in Canada, and Bitcoins are considered capital gains. I'm afraid that if I just slowly take the money out, poloniex will tell the government.

My understanding is that ANY trade is a reportable event.
If I bought a bitcoin at $200 a few years ago and then bought XRP with it when my bitcoin was worth $1500 of course the IRS wants their cut of that $1300 difference.
I wish it worked like you're saying. I think it does in Denmark or something.

This is the shit someone was posting earlier.
And here is how it actually works:

If you held your investment for over a year you don't count it as income, that guy is wrong.

Does it fuck. You're safe until you put a large sum into your bank account, and even then you will have a while to declare it.
I'm not even gonna call my earnings trading stuff, I'm gonna say it was a car sale or something.

"might qualify as a like-kind exchange"
"might"
We do not know that that is true. The IRS has not clarified it. I HOPE it's a like-kind exchange.
