Good afternoon, I'm curious about the tax implications of purchasing cryptocurrency. Specifically, do individuals face taxation when they buy cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum? I understand that transactions involving crypto can be complex and the tax landscape is constantly evolving. However, I'm hoping to get a general understanding of whether or not buying crypto triggers a tax event. Additionally, are there any specific thresholds or timeframes that need to be considered when determining tax obligations related to crypto purchases? Thank you for your time and assistance in clarifying this matter.

The amount spent and the fair market value at the time of the transaction should be logged for future reference.

Additionally, any increase in the value of the bitcoin from the time of purchase to the time of sale will be taxed as capital gains.
