cryptocurrency tax question I have a buddy who I sent money to to buy a certain amount of Ripple. For one reason or another, I couldn't do this on my own at the time. In any case, the currency has tripled and I want him to send the ripple to my wallet. Does this transaction require me to pay taxes on the capital gain that has occurred? Or can I simple put this ripple into my wallet. 

Any help here would be great. I have called around to no avail.
Not regulated by a government does not mean that there are no tax regulations concerning cryptos. There are countries where the law requires that you pay taxes for capital gains even when you only trade one crypto into another crypto (without fiat involved) supposed the time difference between buying and selling the crypto is less than one year.
