Good day, fellow cryptocurrency enthusiasts! I've been doing some research on the taxation of cryptocurrencies in various countries, and I've come across some conflicting information regarding Germany. So, I'm wondering: is crypto taxed in Germany? I understand that the laws surrounding cryptocurrencies are evolving rapidly, and I'm curious to know if Germany has implemented any specific tax regulations for crypto transactions. I've heard rumors that some transactions may be subject to capital gains tax, while others are exempt. Clarifying this matter would greatly assist me in my financial planning. Thank you in advance for any insights you can provide!
