Just to be clear, buying a cryptocurrency is not taxable.
Trading cryptocurrency for cash is a taxable event. Also, trading one cryptocurrency for another is a taxable event. There is no difference.
The amount taxed is the capital gain from when you bought it.

The IRS classifies

If I buy a piece of art and the art price goes up and sell it, I will profit or a gain. The gain over what you bought it at is taxed, not the price you sold it at.
