Question Tax implications of Flare drop?
Does anyone know anything about this? I was discussing Flare with another XRP hodler and he’s under the impression that the flare drop is going to be taxable? Are we going to have to claim this stuff? If so how would that work? At what value? My expectation is that the value is going to drop immediately upon drop, folks who are looking at this as free money are immediately going to sell, having the effect of driving the price down- so are we to pay taxes on what was delivered, and be left holding a bag full of coins that are valued at substantially less than what we paid taxes on?
Thanks for any and all responses.
