It's muddy for 2017 and prior years, but the new tax bill limits 1031 "like-kind" exchanges to real estate - so beginning Jan 1, 2018, it's a taxable event every time you sell a cryptocurrency, even if you're receiving another cryptocurrency in return.

The link you cited above covers this on page 4.

Keep in mind also that like-kind exchanges, if you're going to use them this year and for prior year reporting, require you to claim them explicitly on your taxes [1].
