FYI...the more people that answer "YES" to that IRS question on "have you owned / bought / sold virtual currency" the better- because it is an ass-stupid vague question. and tons of folks answering "yes" will make it non-helpful to the IRS. Plus, you do also legally cover your ass.
So get this- if you used Mileage points from your credit card, or any type of digital coupon BedBathBeyond etc.., then "yes" you have owned / bought / sold virtual currency.
No B.S on that, any type of digital representation of monetary value is 'digital currency' .
IRS is still smoking crack.
