I'm a bit confused about taxes and cryptocurrencies. If I invest in cryptocurrencies and end up losing money, do I still need to pay taxes on those losses? Or is it only when I make a profit that I have to report it to the authorities? I understand that taxes are a necessary evil, but I want to make sure I'm doing everything correctly when it comes to crypto investments. Could you please clarify this for me?

If total capital losses exceed total capital gains, taxpayers can claim the difference as a tax loss.
