How can cryptocurrencies be taxed?
Could you elaborate on the complexities surrounding the taxation of cryptocurrencies? I'm particularly interested in understanding how the varying classifications of cryptocurrencies, such as securities, commodities, or currencies, impact their taxability. Also, could you discuss the challenges of tracking and valuing these digital assets for tax purposes? Furthermore, are there any specific tax regulations or guidelines in place for individuals and businesses dealing with cryptocurrencies, and how do they vary from one jurisdiction to another? Lastly, how are cryptocurrency transactions, such as trading, mining, and staking, taxed differently, and what are the potential tax implications of holding cryptocurrencies for long-term investments?
