The dichotomy is that some users argue that cryptocurrency losses are always deductible, no matter what the CC is used for and no matter how it was held. In other words, if you take a loss on a coffee at Starbucks, its a deductible loss.
Some users argue that CC losses are only deductible if the CC was held for investment purposes. (This is my position.)
I think you have advanced a hybrid position that if CC is used to purchase an investment, a loss is deductible.
I am not qualified to comment further than I have previously. As always, hiring your own professional accountant to give you advice, who will represent you at audit, may be preferable to taking advice from random people on the internet.
