I am not a lawyer or cpa but it sounds like a similar case when someone may have invested in bitcoin and immediately realized they were over extended. So they decided to reduce their position for a small transaction fee. Unfortunately this was enough to make the trade a small loss and ultimately I don’t know many people who pay taxes on losses.

Am I missing something? You pay taxes on gains, not losses.
