# Sincere Question About Crypto Taxation

I want to ask a sincere question about crypto taxation.

The altcoin bull run came, my 1 million lira became 10 million lira by the end of 2026. If the government can take up to 40% for 2026, I'm left with 6 million lira. Okay, thank you.

But if my 1 million lira drops to 10 thousand lira by the end of 2027, what benefit will the government provide to me?

**Key Issue You're Raising:** You're highlighting the asymmetry in crypto taxation—taxation on gains is immediate and substantial, but there's often no offsetting tax relief on losses. This is a legitimate concern about whether tax systems fairly account for crypto volatility. Many jurisdictions are still developing frameworks that balance both unrealized gains/losses and realized gains/losses appropriately.
