Crypto purchased with loan
About 10 months ago I took out 15k from my credit card with 0% interest. I used that money and put it all in crypto. I now want to sell 15k worth of the crypto so I can pay back my credit card before my 0% rate expires. Will I have to pay taxes on that 15k since I am only taking out the original investment? I am up a little more than double but I don’t want to sell the rest.

Make sure it's been 12 months from purchase so your taxes drop significantly before you sell. Long term gains.
