So perhaps someone can help me here: When Keybase sent everyone with an account a bunch of Stellar Lumens did they gift everyone with an obligation to file more tax forms?

EDIT: To answer my own question, this FAQ states: "No. If you receive virtual currency as a bona fide gift, you will not recognize income until you sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of that virtual currency."

Presumably I only have to worry about my lumens if I cash them out or pay someone with them.
