On the same calendar day of 18 Dec 2017 I bought Bitcoin, transferred it to a different exchange and then converted it to a different cryptocurrency (TRX).
I have the original cost basis (in USD) when I bought the bitcoin, and I have the datetime stamp for when I converted the Bitcoin to TRX. I know the price of TRX in bitcoin at the time of the conversion, unfortunately, I'm unable to find intraday trading prices of bitcoin from three years ago to determine if there was a gain or loss.
The price of Bitcoin at the end of the day was lower than it was at the start of the day, and from what I can tell trying to do the math from the data I have, I probably incurred a very minute loss.
How should I determine what the price of Bitcoin was at the time of conversion?
*I understand that this will require an amended return for 2017.
Thanks 🙂
