It seems many American posters don't understand that Crypto is classified as an Asset in the U.S.
That means every time u sell it (buy something) its a Taxable event requiring a Capital Gains Tax.
Every American here should know this since we just filed our Taxes.
This classification makes using Crypto as a Currency an Acquired price/Sold price pain in the ass!
From what I've read Europe and Asia have labeled crypto an "Alternative" Currency so the TenX model
is still viable in those regions.

I get this.  What I don't really get:  If you trade for something of equal value, what would be taxed?
