Good afternoon, I have a question regarding HSBC's position on cryptocurrencies. As a long-standing customer, I've noticed the bank's cautious approach towards this emerging asset class. I understand that cryptocurrencies have their own risks and volatilities, but I'm interested to know if HSBC has any plans to offer more crypto-friendly services in the future? Maybe through partnerships with crypto exchanges or the provision of secure crypto custody solutions? Thank you for your time.

I'm sorry to hear that you've lost money in cryptocurrency investments. As a professional practitioner in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, I can tell you that taxes on cryptocurrency are a complex issue that depends on various factors. Generally speaking, if you dispose of cryptocurrency assets and generate taxable income, you may be required to pay taxes on those profits. However, if you lose money on crypto, you may be able to deduct those losses from your taxable income, depending on the specific tax laws in your jurisdiction. It's important to note that tax laws can vary significantly from country to country, and even within different states or regions within the same country. Therefore, it's always best to consult with a tax professional in your jurisdiction to understand the specific tax implications of your cryptocurrency investments. I hope this information helps. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

I've been hearing a lot about cryptocurrencies lately, and I'm curious about how they're taxed. Does the IRS track crypto transactions? If so, how do they do it? And what kind of information do they collect? I'm also wondering if there are any special tax rules or regulations that apply to crypto assets. Could you please provide some clarity on this matter? Thank you.

I'm a bit worried about my crypto investments. If the value of my crypto assets goes to zero, will I lose everything I've invested? Should I panic and sell my holdings right away? Or should I just hold on and wait for the market to recover? I'm not very familiar with this field, so I really don't know what to do. Could you please give me some advice? Thank you!
