Really in the early days most didn't keep records or pay tax in 2014 it was all about new tech and a free market place. Shit most people would be to scared to admit that they actually made a profit, could you imagine the one called Volder or Russian wanting the IRS wanting to know what their BTC balances are!
If i remember correctly, Volder's real name was Tim. I remember Volder said he was trying to sell all his hashlets to get into another business venture. Homero talked him out of it. Volder got screwed bad.
