Denmark says hold my beer, as usual with taxes. Gains are taxed at 37-51%, as regular income. Losses can only be deducted at about 26%.

You can be in loss from crypto trading and still owe taxes in DK. Yay!

that's wild - I guess they (knowingly or not) really want to discourage speculative and volatile investments!
How buying Novo Nordisk or Maersk is a volatile investment? It's to keep peasants away from capital markets.
This is only for Crypto. For stocks, it's even (but some instruments are taxed at every Dec 31st, even when unrealized).
Why even bother making money at all?
