>>I just wrote an article about US tax implications regarding Bitcoin holdings (not transactions! transactions are easy, and well-covered on the Bitcoin wiki). The stated author of the article, Tyler S. Robbins, reached out to me to state that you (@gamblor956) are not the author of the article linked by the submitter. Evidently he's been downvoted trying to point this out. Perhaps the unintentional implication inferred by most on this thread is that that you personally wrote the linked article, when in fact you may be referring to a different article you wrote about US tax implications that has yet to be published (as you stated above). Hope this clears things up for anybody else that may have unintentionally made the same inference. I'm meeting Mr. Robbins on Monday to discuss some of the issues he raised in his article. EDIT: I see that he's put a warning at the top of article to clear up any misunderstandings.

Ah yes when I posted my comment it was originally obvious that I wasn't referring to the same post as the linked article. My article is for a print tax publication targeted at tax advisors, and comes out next spring; Mr. Robbins' article is clearly not intended for print and is aimed more toward laymen. Also, Mr. Robbins has updated the article since I posted my comment, so generally all of the questions I have received would now be answered by his article.

>Evidently he's been downvoted trying to point this out. That shouldn't really come as a surprise, given the way he went about it. Making an entire post using caps lock is usually frowned upon, to say the least, and, as has been pointed out, no such claims were ever made in the first place, it's perfectly clear that grandparent is referring to a completely separate article that's yet to even be published.

>Evidently he's been downvoted trying to point this out. As he should have been, replying in all caps while being unable to comprehend what gamblor956 wrote. gamblor956 did not imply that he was the author of the article, rather the author of AN article on a related topic. Coming to hasty conclusions and calling out a friendly poster hardly speaks highly of the OP. He should read more carefully in the future and not overreacted, I would be hesitant to trust such a personality, an attorney should know better.
