Most countries consider earning cryptocurrencies as a barter transaction (payment-in-kind). This means that you would be taxed as though you had earned an equivalent amount of fiat currency as income.
For example, if you earned one bitcoin, valued at $1,000, then you would be taxed as though you earned $1,000 of income.
