I am not one for bitcoin-esque currency. I recently read a reddit thread where the guy bought bitcoin, took it out and bought some other up and coming currency. The guy didn't realize he needed to pay taxes on the money he got from selling bitcoin and now owes a lot of $$ to IRS.

Well, you owe money for everything you made above and beyond your initial investment usually. Example: I put $100 into Apple. Apple stock doubles and I take the money out (now $200). Even if I invest this money into another stock, I still owe taxes on $100 because that is money I haven't paid taxes on yet but it is essentially income for me (even if I reinvested it). Now if the Apple stock didn't do anything (stayed at $100) and took it out, I wouldn't owe anything because I have already paid taxes on the money before I invested in the stock.

Yeah, well he bought the bitcoin a few years ago (think he put in $5k) and then took it out at like $120k to reinvest. Unfortunately, new investment didn't due so well and is now valued at $50k or so. But he owes like a lot in taxes from the 115k he got in income from selling his stock.
Also, he used all his savings to make the first investment (because his friends told him to do it). That was his first mistake.
It's the same when you earn interest on checking/savings accounts. You need to pay taxes on that but for some people (such as myself), you don't make enough in interest to be required to account for it. I probably made like $4 in interest last year because those types of accounts make like 1% on a good account.
Basic summary: If you are going to invest in things, don't do it half afrodonkey.

Yeah, that is why he turned to reddit for help... And Reddit was like "Lol, hire a professional please."
