Good morning 🌄 (here) Hive account@cryptotax!

As a resident of the U.S. and in response to your AMA offer, I would be very interested in your perspective on the tax implications of some Steem blockchain (unique to it?) specific transactions. Here are three different, but conceptually related examples:

• The Steem Basic Income (Hive account@steembasicincome and related accounts) program created by Hive account@josephsavage.
  
  
• The UpvoteShares (Hive account@upvoteshares / Hive account@minnowshares accounts) program created by Hive account@costanza.
  
  
• The Smart Steem (Hive account@smartmarket account) program created by Hive account@therealwolf.
  
  

In each of these examples, the common feature is we have “sold” some Steem tokens, either STEEM or SBD. Presumably that would normally be a taxable event, like the sale of a share of stock. We "bought" t one price and "sold" at another ...

But … In these instances, we get back a "benefit!" In the 3rd example, almost immediately (since it is a type of "bid bot" promotion vehicle). And in the first 2 examples, over time …

In addition, the first two have a bit of what I would assume would be considered a “gift” feature, for those who are the recipients of either SBI shares or “Minnow” shares.

Thank you, in advance, for the investment of your time!
