Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about the taxation of cryptocurrencies in Australia. Do Australians have to pay taxes on their cryptocurrency transactions or holdings? I've heard that some countries tax crypto assets like regular income, while others treat them as capital gains. Could you clarify how it works in Australia? I'm considering investing in crypto but want to make sure I understand the tax implications.

This means that if you hold crypto as an investment, you are required to pay taxes on it.
