RE: The experience of Steem time
It is like Markku said above about doing what they do normally, just with crypto :D
Walk and get some tokens, take a selfie and get laughed at, and probably still get some tokens.
Yup. She has the tracker and a phone, and an account is no problem. My STEEM and SPORTS vote each day would make some decent pocket money in time.
Should be great for spending down the local.
Would be interesting to teach about management and investment and potentially would become a great onboarding foundation builder to then go onward and support herself.
Using a pseudonym as the Actifit account name would be very astute for multiple reasons. First of all, Asher's daughter is a teenage girl and everything posted to Steem is public and cannot be removed, including any information she reveals about her whereabouts in her exercise logs posted to Steem. Secondly, the UK could tax all crypto earnings based on the value of the tokens at the time one receives them in one's wallet. If that is the case, any short-lived spike in the token price could lead to tax liabilities exceeding the value of the tokens one has in one's wallets when the tax bill is due. That's unlikely to be an issue at all at first but if the value of the self vote grows seriously large - and it could during a spike particularly after some years of accumulation - that could create a nasty tax liability unless cashed out and the tax money set aside immediately. (Finland's tax guidance on virtual currencies is quite lenient in the sense that virtual currencies internal to online game platforms or other "internet programs created for mainly for entertainment purposes" as the guidance puts it are not considered taxable income until they are cashed out into fiat, external virtual currencies or used to pay for goods or services. But not every country taxes virtual currencies similarly.) Most people use pseudonyms on Internet discussion forums and on Steem-based apps that is particularly wise because of Steem is a public blockchain.
Tax is one issue, but the more pressing one is the whereabouts I think. I reckon that there should be a way to mask some of the data that it tracks, but people are generally the weakest link in this, not the inability to mask.
The tax issue is indeed solvable by simply paying the taxes by the book. Just cash out enough on a constant basis, report the income and pay the tax. At first, the income would be so small as to be insignificant and perhaps fall under a possible threshold of taxable income to begin with. But later it might be best to just report it accurately and pay it.
Actifit by itself does not track anything. It merely asks for a minimum-length verbal account of the training session and some categorizing questions about it. Actifit records and posts the number of steps automatically. The user is free to include images to the Actifit post. I think it would be best not to a) post under your own name and b) not to use FitBit to publish the exact route used.
Just some generic facts about your run/walk and how you felt, speed, heart rate or something like that would suffice.
I think eventually the taxman will catch up with most, unless the entire fiat economy implodes and they want to get n on crypto ;D
I wouldn't want my wife posting her travel routes around the place, but it seems to be pretty common place as people take the "it won't happen to me" approach.
