Although the taxation seems to effect negatively on the price of BTC and other cryptos, taxation is a big step to legalization of crypto currencies and avoid risks of subponea which was a risk to face.I will not make any arguement if it is ethical to take taxes on cryptos or not.With the news of taxation on USA also cancelled out the interest cut of FED.In my opinion 3rd and 4th Q of 2019 are lost but I am very hopefull about 2020.
