> If USD is used illegally, should everyone who holds USD pay a "wealth tax"?

Don’t we? The FBI and Secret Service are funded out of taxes. I don’t think someone who has never touched crypto should pay for crypto crimes. One could introduce a transaction tax, but that seems messier than counting up your crypto once a year.

> how do you propose reporting works for personal wallet addresses, or DeFi protocols?

Same way it does with cash. Most people voluntarily comply. Criminals don’t, and occasionally get busted.
