To be IRS compliant with a bitcoin transaction you would have to state the value of the bitcoin when acquired, the value when sold, pay tax on the appreciation. Imagine making a rent payment with Apple stock, same thing.

An accounting nightmare that is your responsibility to document on a "first in, first out" basis.
