As a crypto investor in Germany, I'm curious about how to approach calculating my crypto taxes accurately. Given the complex nature of cryptocurrency transactions and the varying tax regulations, I'm seeking clarity on the steps I should follow. Do I need to track every single transaction, including buys, sells, trades, and mining rewards? Are there any specific tax rates or exemptions I should be aware of? Additionally, how do I account for the value of cryptocurrencies that fluctuate constantly? Is there a recommended software or tool that can assist me in this process? I'm looking for a practical approach that will ensure I comply with tax regulations while minimizing my tax burden.

FIFO stands for First In First Out, indicating that profits are determined based on the order of acquisition of cryptocurrency assets.

Under this method, the cryptocurrencies purchased first are considered to be the first ones sold when calculating taxable gains.
