How to profit from internet money

The value of Bitcoin has more than doubled year-on-year and recently reached record highs. Other "cryptocurrencies" are also in demand, although the risk is very high due to extreme price fluctuations. The "Krone" explains how you can get started and do everything right from a tax perspective.

In 2011, you could buy a Bitcoin for around half a euro. A few days ago, this would have turned into a fortune of almost 66,000 euros. In a year-on-year comparison alone, it went up by 127 percent. No wonder that interest in this "Internet money" is now huge and goes far beyond the scene of gamblers and money launderers.
