Qoute from that link,way back 2014 IRS made an announcement that crypto's are defined as a property and not a currency.
So as such they are entitle to pay thier taxes as property owners.

I am still confused as to why cryptocurrency should be regarded as a property thereby mandating people to pay tax on it. Cryptocurrency should be seen as money or currency and not as a property.

I agree since Bitcoin price is in Dip state now, But Im sure at the Q4 of the month it will rise again like last years happens.
