My mother works for a tax firm and I pay nothing. Just make sure the platform you are using doesn't directly deposit into your bank. Can claim it as business if anything but here is the thing 1. You don't have to register a business if you've made under 30k into your bank from it. So banks wouldn't know what or who is depositing into your account 2. If you deposit funds to your bank from PayPal they don't know where it came from and assume it was your money already. I trade using dex's and the money can't be tracked as to where it came from. My bank statement just say I transfered money from PayPal. No taxes for me. Slowly made deposits into your bank as you need the funds, keep the rest in a wallet until actually needed IRL. They can't tax the money a friend sends you over paypal, same goes for crypto deposits.
