What is suppose to be so good about it?
A major improvement to Ethereum. Essentially forking the entire ETH code/blockchain including all ERC20s onto Pulse, with near zero fees. Has some really good potential if they can get people to actually make the jump and start using it for the same purposes they use ETH

Pulse will have every single Ethereum token and NFT forked over to Pulsechain.

All anyone has to do is add the network and token to their Metamask wallet.

The Pulse developers designed it so that Ethereum smart contract developers could swap their projects over with nearly 0 work.

Pulse is the largest air drop of all time. Pulse has 3 second blocks and the fees are basically 0.

As much as I love the potential of Pulse, I love the exchange token Pulsex even more.

You can’t write off political donations. Isn’t pulse a political statement?

So you can’t actually claim a loss. At least, that is what some tax people told me about it, or how they would treat it if you tried to claim a loss.

I’d imagine most just don’t report it.

You’re mixing up what he’s talking about.
Bc the airdrops (pulse, pulsex, etc) are starting at $0, you will not have to pay taxes on the aidrop. If the airdrop started at $1, then you are supposed to (like the uniswap airdrop…don’t remember the price it started at but it was above $0).

No one is writing off sacrifices as losses (unless they aren’t knowledae of the tax code)

I designated mine as a gift on my taxes. Obviously my cost basis will be $0 on anything received from it.

What about the tax implications of my project migrating to their chain?

They all start at $0. There are no tax implications.

If the airdrop grows in value that’s a gain though. How would you not owe taxes?

You don’t owe taxes in the initial airdrop if it starts at $0.

You would then only owe taxes once you sell

I guess you would but are you going to be mad about paying taxes if you made money? I don't see how that's any different than any other investment

If you bought a stock at a penny and it went to dollars would you be upset about it?

Well I don't see how this is a unique tax situation from an investment standpoint other than your cost basis being $0.

If you sell those gains then you’d have a tax event with a $0 cost basis

I’ve never gotten an airdrop like this before so I don’t know.

I get that the value will start at zero but the amount of tokens you get was relative to a value in your “sacrificed” amount.

Just not sure how, in the long run, these things get classified as.
