Could you elaborate on the tax implications of
cryptocurrency transactions? Specifically, I'm wondering if there are any scenarios where cryptocurrency losses or investments could be considered tax deductible. I understand that the tax treatment of crypto varies depending on the specific activity and jurisdiction, but I'm interested in a general overview of the potential tax deductions associated with cryptocurrency. Could you provide some clarity on this matter, highlighting any relevant tax laws or regulations that might apply?
