Good afternoon, fellow cryptocurrency enthusiasts. I've been following the latest developments in the crypto world with keen interest, and a question has been lingering in my mind: Is selling crypto a taxable event? As we all know, the realm of cryptocurrency has grown exponentially in recent years, with its value fluctuating daily. But does this mean that every time we cash out our crypto holdings, we're liable to pay taxes on the profits? I'd appreciate any clarity on this matter, as understanding the tax implications of crypto transactions is crucial for responsible investing. Thank you in advance for your insights.
