How LTC gains are taxed in Germany
Germany is unusually favourable for holders: private individuals pay 0% tax on gains from coins held over one year. Sell within a year and the gain is added to ordinary income.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Register. Go to the Bybit official site and create an account.
Step 2: Verify ID. Video-ident or Postident verification is standard for German-facing exchanges.
Step 3: Deposit EUR. Go to the “Wallet” section and select “Deposit”. Choose SEPA bank transfer for the lowest fees.
Step 4: Trade. Search for the pair LTC/EUR (or LTC/USDT) and click “Buy”.
