Hello there, I'm curious about cryptocurrency taxes and I was wondering, do you have to pay capital gains tax if you sell your crypto holdings? I've heard different things and I'm trying to understand the rules and regulations surrounding cryptocurrency transactions. Could you please clarify if there are any specific tax implications when it comes to selling crypto and what steps I should take to ensure compliance with the law?
