Does Bitcoin's Fungibility Mean Paying More Taxes? - a podcast by Naomi Brockwell
from 2019-01-10T00:00
All currencies work as if the tokens of money in circulation are interchangeable with one another. This fungibility means a dollar is always worth another dollar. Bitcoin is no different.
However, money can also act like a unique and discrete asset. A coin’s rarity, age, or its easiness to spend can gain or lose it additional value.
These opposing sides come into conflict when capital gains tax is applied to a sale of a coin and how a seller must pay a percent of the profits to the government.
In this video, I explain how if tax laws assess bitcoin as fungible it could mean paying higher taxes than if it’s a commodity.
