Could you elaborate on how crypto assets are typically treated for tax purposes? I'm particularly interested in understanding how they're classified and whether they're subject to capital gains taxes or treated as a form of currency. Are there any specific rules or regulations that vary from country to country? Also, how do crypto transactions such as buying, selling, and trading impact tax obligations? I'd appreciate any insights you can provide on the tax implications of holding and using crypto assets.

    However, if crypto assets are used as a means of payment for goods or services, they may be taxed as income in the year of receipt.
