Will the IRS succeed in monitoring and eventually taxing Bitcoin?

Yes, the IRS has already succeeded in taxing Bitcoin. It's to be treated as capital gains, as with any other asset. I prefer Australia's approach of officially not taxing digital currencies.
I'm happy to read that "Republicans in Congress sent a sharply-worded letter that suggests the tax agency is overstepping its powers." Letter attached as a PDF to this post.
The IRS should lose this battle with Coinbase, and rightfully so. It's fine if the IRS need to subpoena a specific person's tax records because they have probable cause, but asking for big data dumps oversteps their boundaries.
