all this to hit individuals who years ago were crazy to play with these things and now that the crazy people have anticipated the times of the masses they must be punished, scandalous

I have read several messages on crypto taxation in Italy, often inaccurate. Let's start with the basics: taxation was 26%, it remains 26%. Capital gains are paid on all earnings, once the operation is closed. If I have closed operations at a loss, the capital losses will lower the total capital gains (perhaps bringing the whole thing into negative territory). Capital gains must be paid on both trading and staking. Since they are considered different incomes, the staking earnings can in turn offset the capital losses (which is not possible with dividends and interest on government bonds). It should also be noted that we do not think in watertight compartments: if I have capital gains from trading on crypto and capital losses from other investments I can use the former to recover the capital losses within 4 years. Last point: in 2026 the capital gain will be taxed at 33%. Given that many things can change in 12 months (the discussion on 42% teaches us), perhaps in the next few months we will discover that 33% will be extended to all asset classes (excluding government bonds and similar). In essence: let's think about earning, then worry about the taxes to pay!
