Investors can protect their cryptocurrency gains by relocating to tax-friendly countries. Here are ten tax-free countries to consider in 2023:

Germany - profits from cryptocurrency held for more than 12 months are not taxed, and short-term gains under €600 are exempt. Income tax rates apply to gains over €600 and cryptocurrency income.

United Arab Emirates - no income or capital gains tax, but goods and services are subject to a 5% VAT.

Malaysia - national investors are generally not subject to taxes on capital gains or income from cryptocurrencies, but professional traders may be subject to income tax.

Portugal - most Portuguese citizens are exempt from paying income or capital gains taxes on cryptocurrency, but professional traders may be required to pay income tax.

Switzerland - income and capital gains from individual investors are tax-free, but professional traders and miners may be subject to income tax. Wealth tax applies to crypto-assets.

Singapore - personal capital gains tax does not apply, and income tax usually does not apply to cryptocurrency transactions. GST may apply to purchases made with cryptocurrencies.

    Great list. One to add is El Salvador.

    El Salvador will exempt foreign investors from taxes on profits on bitcoin.

    "If a person has assets in bitcoin and makes high profits, there will be no tax. This (is done) obviously to encourage foreign investment," Javier Argueta, legal adviser to President Nayib Bukele, told AFP.

    "There will be no taxes to pay on either the capital increase or the income."
