Crypto currency (IF banned from CA)

I hold a little bit of crypto after dabbling in it a couple of years ago but I've been holding it on Binance where I bought it. I've been told its safer to hold it in a wallet. How do I do that? Is there an idiots guide for dummies?

Also, let's say the best case scenario plays out and some of my crypto skyrockets in value. Are there any ways of legally limiting my tax liability?

First point, correct you shouldn’t hold your coins on an exchange. @DuuuncanHadaPigeon can advise how to put it in a cold storage wallet.

The second point, if it ever skyrockets speak to a tax advisor/accountant as the tax you have to pay depends on many different things. If you are a UK taxpayer capital gains applies but it is complicated. Given none of us know your situation it would be silly to take advice from any of us.

It is fairly straightforward to move your coins to your own wallet, plenty of videos on YouTube. If you need any help you can DM me.

In terms of tax, the UK has quite a friendly view on taxing crypto compared to most other countries. It is treated as CGT so roughly 20%, asides from moving to another country with 0% crypto taxes you are better off just paying it, but I'm no professional, speak to a tax specialist in the case it does skyrocket
