  As an expert in the field, I can provide some insights into the tax implications of trading cryptocurrencies in Orange County in 2016. During that time, the IRS treated cryptocurrencies as property for tax purposes. This meant that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency trading were subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate for individuals depended on their income bracket and the holding period of the cryptocurrency. Short-term trades, held for less than a year, were taxed at ordinary income tax rates, while long-term trades, held for more than a year, were subject to lower capital gains tax rates. It's important to note that tax regulations and guidelines may have changed since 2016, so it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for the most up-to-date information.
