Explained Simply
In most jurisdictions, several crypto activities trigger taxes: selling crypto for cash, trading one crypto for another, spending crypto on goods/services, earning staking rewards, receiving airdrops, and mining rewards. Simply buying and holding crypto is generally NOT a taxable event. Short-term gains (held < 1 year) are usually taxed at higher rates than long-term gains.
