Sorry for my tone - you can be sneaky and buy or sell BTC anonymously, although it's not easy to turn large amounts of BTC to cash anonymously.

Your typical investor uses exchanges which are regulated and monitored the same as other financial instruments. As for red flags when you disclose profits to the IRS - I doubt it.
