Why is it taxable? Surely it's like gambling? Otherwise can you claim tax back against losses? Presumably he's investing earnings that he's already paid tax on.
(sorry you've probably guessed I don't know any of the laws around this and would appreciate your expertise before I invest anything)

Victim of 'Elon Musk' Bitcoin scam loses home deposit
Teacher Julie Bushnell says she lost her deposit for a new home in a cryptocurrency giveaway con.www.bbc.co.uk
A victim of online scammers, who was conned into giving away her savings, has warned others not to make the same mistake.
Julie Bushnell said she felt ashamed and embarrassed after falling for a Bitcoin fraud that cost her £9,000.
It used the name of entrepreneur Elon Musk and a story on a fake BBC website suggesting she could double her money in a giveaway of the cryptocurrency.
The Brighton teacher said: "I think about it every minute of every day."
Ms Bushnell, an investor in cryptocurrency, spotted an item on a website that appeared to use BBC News branding, claiming Mr Musk, the billionaire boss of the Tesla car firm, would pay back double the sum of any Bitcoin deposit.
She paid £9,000, which she had saved for a deposit on a new home. When no reciprocal payment arrived it dawned on her that she had become the victim of a scam.
She said: "It has affected me massively. I wish I could have that time back - go in a time machine and not make those couple of clicks."

Crypto getting a mulling today following the Chinese signalling the end for private crypto.
Wtf is happening? Do I get out whilst it's still got worth or ride the wave?
Is there a decent place to buy the odd g of gold? Just think it looks a decent option if I have a bit of cash lying around
Thanks mate, I was thinking just the odd g here and there when I have a few quid lying around, not thousands.Cheapest place I have found is Atkinsons Bullion: Buy Gold & Silver Coins & Bullion Bars UK (based in Solihull)
They are generally competitive, but note that they buy in a shipments rather hold large stock, which means it could be 7 days before you receive the goods, whereas the more high profile sites like
Buy Gold Bullion - The UK's No.1 Bullion Dealer | BullionByPost ® and Buy Gold Bullion & Coins – Free Insured Delivery | GOLD.co.uk ® (same company)
do next day delivery but demand premiums for this.
This is certainly the case for 1oz Britannias.
When buying physical gold, remember it is a LT investment and that the premiums are greater on small coins. I know it's a wedge, but I would advise trying to limit yourself to simply 1oz Britannias, as the premium get pricey on anything less.
At Atkinsons, the premium on a gold coin is 5% over spot, and similar when you come to sell.
Whilst I did fancy the gold bar shown above, that's very unusual for me. For pure investment purposes, stick to Sovereigns and Britannia of the latest year - don't get suckered into overseas mints and special editions as generally you'll get near enough back just the worth in terms of weight of gold.
Gold attracts no VAT (unlike silver). For what it's worth given that gold isn't really traceable, Britannias and Sovereigns are also free of Capital Gains Tax.
