If on Stacker News I'm spending Bitcoin and I'm paying here to someone for the service named:
providing a good reply to read - does it create a taxable event?
in other words: "Don't comment on SN because if it is good - it will be a taxable event." ;)
let's not be slaves... (we aren't already, it seems... :)
If you're tipping on SN then the person posting was not paid for a service, they originally put it up for free for the world to read. You are just giving them a gift afterwards.

there are many replies that because of context - are addressed personally to me (and free for the world only by the way)

anyway, in most countries, giving a gift to a stranger creates a taxable event :))

That was an odd one. Isn't half the point of Bitcoin a protest against taxation?
reply
Inflation is an indirect tax.
