>In order to be considered a "gain" or a "loss", according to my accountant, the commodity must be realized into fiat money. "Selling or buying" means selling into fiat or buying with fiat. "Bartering" means trading for goods or services -- crypto is not considered to be goods or services.

Thanks for the extended update!

That's very interesting! I have been hesitant to take advantage of some potential gains because of the burden of maintaining a record of every inter-coin transaction.

If your accountant is correct, then that's a load off—and a major advantage.

It really is a brand new asset class, then.
