I just posted a reply in another thread where the OP stated they considered bounty hunting was work with money paid to you for your time and resources, with it likened to running a small business. I felt rather that youd paid for the bounty tokens in your wallet with the time youd used doing bounty tasks and reporting etc rather than with your own cryptocurrency or fiat, and that you needed to factor in as well the time wasted on other bounty campaigns where you didnt get any reward/payment for your bounty work because the ICO didnt make softcap or was unethical or a cashgrab or scam! In terms of whether bounty hunting should be seen as a part or full time job/small business or rather as a hobby where you may pick up a few dollars using your phone and computer and internet and time, I felt it would depend on each bounty hunters individual circumstances and prevailing tax and other laws in their country. I imagined that most bounty hunters here would treat it as a hobby that may bring some reward of tokens that may or may not be worth anything, rather than as job giving predictable taxable income - but Ive seen little discussion or information published about this however.
Im interested in how bounty hunters here view their receiving of bounty tokens and the value from holding or selling them - as a hobby or as a job with taxable income? And also are bounty hunters aware of any tax or other rules known to apply to tokens received or sold in the various countries we live in?
I think this should be treated as an additional source of income or investment. So how does that sound like it. And Yes, I think it will be taxed soon.
