    As a representative of BYDFi, I can provide some insights into the tax consequences of selling Bitcoin at a loss. In general, when you sell Bitcoin at a loss, you may be able to use that loss to offset any capital gains you have made during the year. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific rules and regulations in your jurisdiction. Different countries have different tax treatments for cryptocurrency transactions, and it's crucial to comply with the applicable laws. BYDFi does not provide tax advice, so it's recommended to seek professional guidance for accurate and up-to-date information.
