IRS considers it an asset not money.
So, what do I pay in? Does that mean every transaction in monopoly should be taxed? How about coins ERC20 tokens inside ethereum? what if I trade one crypto kittie for another?

I get that buying something for USD and later selling something for USD you've made a gain.
