  As a third-party expert, I can tell you that investing in cryptocurrencies instead of stocks can have tax implications. Cryptocurrencies are treated as property by the IRS, which means that any gains or losses from cryptocurrency investments are subject to capital gains tax. The tax rate will depend on how long you held the cryptocurrencies before selling. If you held them for less than a year, the gains will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. If you held them for more than a year, the gains will be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate. It's important to keep accurate records of your cryptocurrency transactions and consult with a tax professional to ensure compliance with tax laws.
