Anyone who considers capital gains taxation in his crypto investments should consider that. It's very efficient from the taxation view to amend your portfolio around when the crypto is down. Your SELL price is low, therefore the CGT gain is also low, or the LOSS high, which you can offset against future or previous gains.
Today it's a great time for getting rid of the coins you may be stuck with and purchasing these which you truly believe in.
Just for a while consider that!
Hi @voluntary-io
Interesting issue. But if I sell some crypto with loss, then it wont really reduce my taxes. So how could your solution help?
Im a bit confused to tell you the truth.

You offset the loss from any capital gains you have made in the tax year. That's how it works in most countries.
In the scenario when you swap crypto when the price is high, you make a high price transaction and may be liable for capital gains tax. It's always better to swap coins around when the price is low (assuming the relative price between 2 coins you're swapping is the same....)
