Interesting the latest developments rev IRS and Crypto. However, anyone with a half of a brain could have seen it coming.
What is required is for the community to lobby for Crypto as a medium of exchange.
This can be tricky, as if for example I hold ETH for use on the Ethereum protocol, or for that matter simply as a hedge against fiat currency.
Why should one be taxed for not wanting to see their fiat have less purchasing power?
As awful as it sounds, that constitutes a capital gains.
It then lends itself for creative minds to achieve the same objective without being that of holding a Crypto asset for the sole purpose of such an asset increasing in value, only to sell such an asset purely for profit.
It is here that I saw the opportunity that though not directly created for such a problem, that solved such a problem as well.
It is the creation of Crypto economics 3.0 along with Tokenomics 3.0 solely for the utility use case of public goods and services.
Surely the IRS will now have prove why additional taxation is required, say as the case of tokenization of sn Amazon, and an Ebay business model, for surely, the consumer, the seller of such tokenized goods and services, are certainly not holding Cryptocurrency purely as a speculative asset.
