  As an expert in the field of cryptocurrencies, I can tell you that the taxation of short term and long term capital gains for cryptocurrencies can vary depending on the country. In general, short term capital gains are taxed at higher rates compared to long term capital gains. This is because short term gains are usually considered as ordinary income and are subject to the individual's income tax rate. On the other hand, long term capital gains are often subject to a lower tax rate, known as the capital gains tax rate. However, it's important to note that tax laws can change, and it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax implications of your cryptocurrency investments.
