Hello there, I'm curious about something regarding cryptocurrency and taxes. Specifically, I want to know: are cryptoassets, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, subject to taxation? How does the tax treatment of these digital assets vary from country to country? Are there any special considerations or exemptions that apply to cryptocurrency holders? As a crypto investor, it's important for me to understand the tax implications of my investments, so I'd appreciate it if you could shed some light on this topic. Thank you!
