I figured I would pop into Steem Slack today after hearing all the buzz about how awesome this super exclusive Slack group was. When you come, you will meet some of the most humble and kind people! Check out the warm welcome our friends in this exclusive club gave someone after inquiring about everyone paying their taxes on their rewards. Because, #blockchain right?
Funny because I thought that bringing up taxes earlier in the game, rather than later, made someone legitimately concerned about the well being of his peers. Fuck it though.
P.S. Looking forward to hearing your explanations.
TL;DR
According to Slack, taxes are for suckers and mentioning them makes you a troll.

@nickjames I upvoted you because I know what it's like to be low voted.
But you need to keep in mind, most countries don't tax crypto yet at all.
Earnings schemes like this have never been tried, but in the USA at least my CPA believes that this would be more of a points/reward system and so you would just pay taxes on earnings after you cash out.
You see at some point you need to turn your earnings into visa or mastercard credit by getting them into a bank account and you can just account for them there because your bank is going to report it anyways.
As for the vesting scheme here, there really isn't anything it would fall under, but unless you're a licensed tax advisor or CPA; well frankly after reading that even IF you were a CPA, you came off sounding like a troll.
Flamebait if nothing else because people's tax situation is no one's business but their own and most places don't even start tax season again until January.
I can't speak to your intent, only your actions, but
Don't dump a bucket of icewater on a bunch of people and expect a warm reception.
I'm not in steem slack, or slack at all. Having to use another social network to discuss the social network you just built seems kind of silly to me. Doesn't it seem silly to you?
So #1 Rule around this place... Don't be a jackass, the internet is like an elephant, it never forgets.
I thought the slack was gone.
The link to it no longer appears on the site.
exactly, which slack? Ppl coming up with so much new stuff every day that it's hard to keep up.
The Steemit slack. The one that used to have a link to it in the Steemit main menu.
Lucky you :) or maybe not so much based on the discussions in the screenshots. :)
Well when and how did you join? It's been under maintenance for a couple weeks.
I joined about a week before it got taken down. Like I said, there was a link to it in the Steemit main menu. I clicked that. I joined. Simple enough.
