Hi,
I have a question. Imagine you buy bitcoins, so they are held at cost.
Then later you use them to buy something (so they go to Expenses:
subaccount nominated in bitcoins).
How do you record that transaction? Ideally I want the gains/losses to be
realized.
But If I do something like:
2013-06-01 * "Buy pizza"
Assets:Cryptocurrency:Coinbase:Bitcoin -10000 BTC {}
Expenses:Pizza 10000 BTC
beancount shows an error "No position matches...".
I assume that's because BTC were bought with USD, but now are "sold" to BTC
and not back to USD?
This works:
2013-06-01 * "Buy pizza"
Assets:Cryptocurrency:Coinbase:Bitcoin -10000 BTC {}
Expenses:Pizza 100 USD
the cost gets imputed correctly. But the thing is that pizza might haven't
had a price in USD, it was nominated in bitcoins :)
What's the best way to handle these situations?
