I just posted a reply in another thread where the OP stated they considered bounty hunting was work with money paid to you for your time and resources, with it likened to running a small business. I felt rather that you’d ‘paid’ for the bounty tokens in your wallet with the time you’d used doing bounty tasks and reporting etc rather than with your own cryptocurrency or fiat, and that you needed to factor in as well the time wasted on other bounty campaigns where you didn’t get any reward/payment for your bounty work because the ICO didn’t make softcap or was unethical or a cashgrab or scam! In terms of whether bounty hunting should be seen as a part or full time job/small business or rather as a hobby where you may pick up a few dollars using your phone and computer and internet and time, I felt it would depend on each bounty hunter’s individual circumstances and prevailing tax and other laws in their country. I imagined that most bounty hunters here would treat it as a ‘hobby’ that may bring some reward of tokens that may or may not be worth anything, rather than as job giving predictable taxable income - but I’ve seen little discussion or information published about this however.
I’m interested in how bounty hunters here view their receiving of bounty tokens and the value from holding or selling them - as a hobby or as a job with taxable income? And also are bounty hunters aware of any tax or other ‘rules’ known to apply to tokens received or sold in the various countries we live in?
I really like the bounty and have become a work in my daily life in cryptocurrency, although I also invest in various coin, in bounty, I have made it as my hobby, because without a hobby will not succeed, I think taxes are cut out of every transaction we, already on the cut by the exchange, with the percentage of deductions, when we do WD to our bank account, it also happens, just not directly from us to the state, only happens between the exchange with the state, we unconsciously also have paid the tax, all in taxes, but by direct or indirect means, so our position as a bounty hunter has also participated in taxes, may we succeed always in the world of crypto, and build our country's economy.
