I got to it finally. Wanted to refer you to @cryptotax who puts out some great guides on tax impacts of crypto transactions because you mentioned that buying crypto is a taxable event and that is not necessarily the case. If you buy an asset, it is not taxed until you sell it and if you sell it for a gain. However, if you get crypto as a reward or by mining that is taxable as income tax (vs capital gains). Don’t take my word for it as I am not an expert but check out the blog I mentioned for better information.
