For the past few days I've been researching the tax code 1031 and how it can't be used w/ cryptocurrency in 2018 ... So what will it be taxed as? Income, capital gain..?

A bunch of articles (including one on here) were saying, day trades for cryptocurrency would be taxed as income, while long-term investing with it is taxed as Capital gains. I am trying to figure out if that is in regards to 2018.
