Why would anyone ever use Bitcoin?

I have been thinking about using bitcoin to fund an account. Until, lol, I read where every time you buy a bitcoin, you get taxed on the value of it (😟)....That simply can't be true, can it? Then, if you win and convert back to cash, you pay capital gains taxes on that? What's the point if you get taxed en you buy, then taxed when you sell?

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong with bitcoin?

Thanks

Bitcoin is not my choice!! Google is your best friend. (Search and you will find what you are looking for)
