I've been hearing a lot about cryptocurrency taxes in Canada, and I'm really confused about it. Can you help me understand how to avoid crypto tax? I'm not trying to do anything illegal, but I just want to make sure I'm not paying more than I should. Do I need to report every crypto transaction I make? Are there any exemptions or deductions I can take advantage of? I've heard some people talk about moving their crypto to offshore exchanges to avoid taxes, but is that really a good idea? It seems like a risky move. Can you give me some advice on how to navigate this complex tax landscape? I'd really appreciate it.

    By maintaining your ownership of the cryptocurrencies, you defer any tax obligations until you decide to sell or dispose of them.

    Leveraging crypto ETFs is another approach to investing in the cryptocurrency market without directly owning the assets.
