Could you please elaborate on the taxation process for Bitcoin transactions? Are they treated similarly to traditional currency transactions, or do they have unique rules and regulations? How does the government determine the taxable value of a bitcoin transaction, and what are the potential tax implications for individuals and businesses engaging in such transactions? Is there any guidance or documentation provided by tax authorities to help taxpayers navigate this complex area?

Additionally, instances where cryptocurrency is received without an accompanying cash payment, such as through an airdrop, also have tax implications. The subsequent use of the received cryptocurrency will significantly influence how it is taxed.

When it comes to purchasing goods or services with cryptocurrency, such as purchasing a pizza with Bitcoin, the taxation regulations apply similarly to fiat currency transactions. The Bitcoin used is deemed to have been disposed of at the pizza's cost, which equates to its fair market value in USD.
