Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about the tax regulations surrounding cryptocurrency in the UK. Do I need to pay taxes on any profits I make from trading or investing in cryptocurrencies? I've heard some conflicting information, so I'm hoping you can provide some clarity. Also, if there are any specific tax implications or strategies I should be aware of, that would be very helpful. Thank you for your time.
