Currently I have a customer on a Web 3 Crypto project. The thing is, I cannot get paid due to SEPA/SWIFT limitations, the customers bank is blocked (not Russia!). So the customer suggested to pay me in crypto. But cryptos are not regarded as "money" my country, they see it more like stonks. I doubt that my customers country will talk to my country in regards of IRS. Do you think it is safe to get paid in crypto and hold that money there? Like in stable coins and invest stuff like on Binance with flexible savings, staking etc.

Or will it blow up and in a few years IRS shoots me with shotguns? I mean I will leave all the money there, never on a real bank account and will always try to pay with crypto credit card.
