I've been reading up on declaration of steemit earnings and gains from crypto trading as taxable income / transactions a lot today and I've read many state the opinion that even for tax year 2017 coin for coin transactions are taxable events, because you're settling a position in the currency you're trading for another coin and the government wants its cut of that. However, they haven't made clear law yet but could retroactively enact this rule. I think the govt would go after the new millionaires first but it does make me nervous because I've made over 100 trades this year. What a headache if I have to file that sh**
