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.
He did! He kept buying & buying Paycorn,too, not realizing he was tilting at windmills against a 99% pre-mine.
