Post Body

Hello Folks,

I am new to the cryptocurrency world and recently came upon Cryptocurrency staking. It seems like a nice way to generate some passive income. Although I do not plan to go hard at it yet, I intend to put some side money for it.

However, being on F1 Visa I am wondering how would taxation work for this? Will I be paying capital gains tax on the income?

Also, will this be considered a normal income or a passive income? I believe being on OPT, I cannot have normal income except from my employer.

Appreciate any insight on this! Thanks! :)
