RE: It's official, cryptocurrency has at least 3 million users! But tax complications threaten to rub out all legitimate use cases
I don't see how Steem Power is a convertible virtual currency, can you send Steem Power to someone else? Is it tradeable? I don't know how that works.
Also from what I read, you cannot declare $20 million in capital loss which is exactly the problem. You can get $20 million in gain but not declare $20 million in losses. Maybe I'm interpreting things wrong, any lawyer want to clarify?
Steem Power is convertible to Steem.
You do DECLARE a $20 million capital loss if that is your NET loss during a year because not only can you apply $1500/$3000 per year against income but any excess will carry over to be used next year. You simply can't get a massive amount of money back from the IRS for it.
